Trump Takes Office,
Immediately 1 Term Deleted Across Entire White House Website
Talk about moving fast! The instant
Trump took office today, one term was immediately deleted across the entire

site for the term “global warming” yielded no results on the site, and
the only mentions of “climate change” led to archived pages that have been
deleted. And part of Trump’s “America First Energy Plan” was a promise to
increase drilling:
