“Not Using Hairspray and I’m Gonna Ruin the Ozone?” — Trump Mocks Climate Alarmism at Governors Dinner

During remarks at the White House Governors Dinner, President Trump used humor to criticize what he sees as excessive climate regulations and misplaced priorities. Referencing everyday restrictions and exaggerated warnings, Trump argued that leaders should focus less on symbolic environmental panic and more on real-world issues affecting Americans — from energy costs to economic growth. The moment drew laughs from the room and highlighted a familiar theme of his presidency: skepticism of climate bureaucracy and a push for practicality over fear-driven policy.
