Terminated.

At the beginning of the year, the Trump administration announced an expansion of offshore drilling encompassing nearly all of the United States coastline. The move came after the administration proposed rolling back offshore drilling safety regulations.

Within days, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced an exemption for Florida because of its "unique" economic dependence on its shores. States also dependent on coastal industries shared their outrage and noted that President Trump's lucrative Mar-a-Lago resort profits from that Florida coastline.


Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger criticized President Trump’s move to increase offshore oil drilling and proposed Trump drill in the waters off Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach resort, instead of California.

Schwarzenegger never mentions Trump by name, but everyone knows his intended target. This marks another in a long line of criticism leveled by the Republican former governor against the president.

Both men, considered celebrities-turned-politicians, repeatedly clash.

In April, Schwarzenegger criticized Trump's proposed cuts to children's services, specifically after school programs. The former governor accused the president of balancing the budget on the backs children.

"Kids are the most vulnerable citizens. Kids are our future," he said at the time.

In August, Arnold took Donald to task in a video criticizing Trump's response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, and his lack of condemnation of “Neo-Nazis, the White Nationalists and the neo-Confederates”.

Schwarzenegger also blasted Trump's leadership skills, his proposal to cut funding for  Meals on Wheels and his low approval ratings, among other things.

Trump, displeased by Schwarzenegger’s vote for Ohio Governor John Kasich in the primaries even after Kasich dropped out, criticizes Schwarzenegger mainly for his low ratings on “Celebrity Apprentice.”

Schwarzenegger replaced Trump as the show host after NBC fired Trump for racist remarks.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
