An excerpt:

Imagine the businessman Donald Trump putting his real estate up for sale when the market was near the bottom.

His misguided move to increase production in a soft energy market is bad for government revenues, not necessary for national security and likely to damage natural resources that millions of Americans use and enjoy.
