I agree with the first statement, but so far, Trump presidency was not exactly a bad thing for the climate.
Economic war with China and renationalisation have positive impacts on CO2 emissions.
Iran sanctions increased oil prices.
Coal subsidies haven't succeeded in reviving the coal industry.
Poor, uneducated families still die from drug overdoses and immigration has decreased, reducing the US population growth.
