Trevor Noah declares the environment the Trump administration's 'biggest enemy of all'

Erin Jensen | USA TODAY

On Tuesday's "Daily Show," Trevor Noah pronounced the environment the Trump administration's "biggest enemy of all."

“The Trump administration has had a grudge against Mother Nature ever since wind,” the comedian said in the NSFW clip as a photo with President Trump sporting windblown locks appeared over his shoulder.

Noah warned the administration was "coming for our furry friends" as a result of proposed changes to regulations protecting endangered species. ABC News reported July 19: "Republicans have proposed changes to give state governments a bigger role in decisions about endangered species and some industry groups, such as ranchers and mining companies, have said that the law creates too many burdens and that land protected for certain species sometimes conflict with their business."

The outlet also reports: "The changes proposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would also revoke a policy that gave blanket protection to all species in a category like 'threatened' or 'endangered' and instead create specific rules for how each species listed as 'threatened' or 'endangered' should be handled."

"This is insane," Noah said in response to the news. "If the Trump administration gets its way, instead of automatically protecting endangered species, it would decide the fate of each species on a case-by-case basis. And you know that's going to be arbitrary as hell, right?"

Noah then did an impersonation of Trump deciding which animals to protect. "It's just going to be Trump, (going) like, 'I've decided to let you live, turtle. You're green and you have a shell, which makes you the closest thing we have to that sexy M&M,' " the host cracked. " 'Ooh, those curves, baby.' "

Noah believes money stands behind the Trump administration's desire to modify the law.

"Experts say it'll lead to easier construction of pipelines," a Fox News report which Noah showed his audience stated.

"That's right. Trump is willing to kill off whole animal species in favor of pipelines, because I mean who doesn't love a nice, adorable pipeline, yeah?" Noah said sarcastically.

"I don't know about you, but I spend all my time watching BuzzFeed videos about adorable pipelines," he added. "Like, I love it when the big pipeline and the small pipeline become friends."
