That's an actual strategy, like when Obama banned dumping coal tailings into rivers 3 months before he left office, so that Trump's EPA guy would have to reallow it.

Obama's EPA guy didn't actually want to ban the practice, or he'd have done it sooner, just get headlines "trump reverses Obama-era ruling to allow dumping mine tailings in rivers"
