The executive order carries big implications for the environment and economy. But even amid such serious considerations, Pres. Trump took a moment to lighten the mood by teasing Gov. LePage. The two men had crossed paths several times during the presidential campaign when the Governor was significantly heavier. After undergoing bariatric surgery, he now cuts a much slimmer figure.
