Trump would be willing to cut down the very last tree on the planet.

That's what was done on Easter Island, and you have to ask yourself, what were they thinking when they cut down the very last tree? Did they think that their gods would magically create new trees? Did they not understand what would really happen once there were no more trees? For one thing, they could no longer build boats to go anywhere.

Our entire planet could become just like Easter Island.

probably had plenty of people who encouraged it. Followers, as it were.

We can hope that Trump's followers will fade into irrelevance soon, but I don't have any real hope for that happening.
