Robert Leslie Stencil Calls On President Donald J. Trump: To Finish What Was Started and Cement America's Energy Legacy
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – May 25, 2025
Washington, D.C. — In the wake of President Donald J. Trump's recent executive actions aimed at revitalizing America's energy sector—including renewed support for nuclear, the rollback of restrictive environmental regulations, and efforts to dismantle wasteful government subsidies—Robert Leslie Stencil is calling on the President to seize the moment and support General American LNG, the largest privately funded clean energy initiative in American history.
A Vision Aligned with 'America First'
General American LNG is not just another energy project—it is a fully designed, shovel-ready blueprint for energy independence, job creation, and economic prosperity. Suppressed under the Obama-Biden administration, this project is now being revived with the support of everyday Americans, conservative thought leaders, and industry advocates. It aligns completely with President Trump's promise to put America First.
Key Project Highlights:
Job Creation: Over 244,000 new jobs projected across a 30-year horizon—without burdening the taxpayer.
Infrastructure Expansion: Development of 5,000+ natural gas fueling stations nationwide.
Fleet Modernization: Annual conversion of 500,000 light-fleet vehicles to clean-burning Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
Educational Investment: Launch of a college-level training curriculum to prepare a skilled workforce in the CNG transportation sector.
Energy Independence: Expansion of LNG exports to free-trade and non-free-trade nations, driving global demand for American gas.
No Burden on Taxpayers: The entire plan is 100% privately funded through LNG export profits—not government subsidies.
> Robert Leslie Stencil built this plan for the American people, and he's handing it to President Trump as a thank-you—for standing up against the corruption, waste, and rigged systems that have held America back.
A Direct Appeal to Conservative Leaders
President Trump, this is the legacy project that cements your energy dominance agenda. This is the cherry on top. But it can't move forward without your support.
We are calling on YOU—and on the conservative movement—to act.
We urge the following conservative news leaders and organizations to help carry this message forward:
Matthew Boyle, Chief Political Correspondent, Breitbart News
Glenn Beck, Founder, The Blaze
Charlie Kirk, Founder, Turning Point USA
Steve Bannon, War Room host
Jesse Watters and Laura Ingraham, Fox News
Tucker Carlson, The Tucker Carlson Network
A Challenge to Energy Industry CEOs: Step Up
The natural gas industry has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to support a national infrastructure and energy plan that won't cost taxpayers a dime and will expand markets for your own product. We call on the following leaders to publicly rally behind this effort:
Nick Dell'Osso, CEO, Chesapeake Energy
Joseph Dominguez, CEO, Constellation Energy
Bernard Looney, CEO, BP plc
Marshall McCrea, Co-CEO, Energy Transfer LP
John Christmann, CEO, APA Corporation
Robert Phillips, CEO, Crestwood Midstream Partners
Now is the time to rise, unite, and push this project back into motion.
Why It Was Suppressed—And Why That Ends Now
This project was intentionally suppressed by the Obama-Biden administration. The DOJ was weaponized against Stencil because he spoke out against government subsidies that forced Americans to pay for projects they didn't benefit from. Americans never received equity or return on those investments—but were still forced to buy the end products.
Stencil's refusal to play the game—his demand that projects be funded by profit, not public money—was met with brutal resistance:
He was charged with 41 felonies, later reduced to 38, in an effort to bury him and kill the project.
Four federal judges involved in the case violated financial ethics rules by holding stock in energy companies that benefited from his conviction.
Exculpatory evidence was withheld.
His release was denied during COVID, despite prison approval.
This was lawfare before lawfare had a name. The same system that targeted Trump targeted Stencil first.
President Trump, you're dismantling that system now. This is the moment to set things right.

President Trump, this is your moment. The question is not whether America can lead—
the question is, will you bless the plan that puts your name on the largest private energy project in U.S. history?
The American people are watching. So are your enemies. Let's finish what you started. Set Robert Leslie Stencil free, and bless his projects president Donald j Trump.

Trump lays into Musk, suggesting he has ‘Trump derangement syndrome'
President Donald Trump appeared to confirm the deterioration of his relationship with Elon Musk, saying he was 'very disappointed' in the tech billionaire after Musk repeatedly blasted the president's sweeping domestic agenda bill in recent days. 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore,' Trump told reporters in the Oval Office less than one week after the two exchanged effusive praise on Musk's last day as a special government employee. Since then, Musk has strongly criticized what Trump calls his 'Big, Beautiful Bill' that has passed the House and faces an uncertain path forward in the Senate. On Tuesday, Musk called the bill a 'disgusting abomination.' Trump and Musk have not spoken since Musk lashed out at the legislation, a source familiar with the dynamic told CNN. 'He knew every aspect of this bill. He knew it better than almost anybody, and he never had a problem until right after he left,' Trump said, adding that while Musk has not yet personally attacked him, the president expected that could be next. Trump repeatedly claimed that Musk's concerns with the bill were centered on the repeal of electric vehicle subsidies that benefitted Tesla. Musk has admitted his company has struggled in the wake of his political involvement. Musk didn't wait to respond, posting his reactions in real time on his social media platform X. 'Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,' Musk said. He added: 'Such ingratitude.' Musk denied Trump's claim that the Tesla CEO knew the inner workings of the bill ahead of time, and countered that the elimination of EV tax incentives has nothing to do with his opposition to the massive domestic policy bill. 'Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill' Musk in a separate post. 'In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way.' One Republican strategist who has worked closely with the tech billionaire downplayed the idea that Musk's opposition is only about the EV subsidies, telling CNN that Musk was genuinely troubled by projections of how much the bill would add to the deficit – the reasoning Musk has publicly cited on multiple occasions. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the legislation passed by the House would increase the deficit by $2.4 trillion. During Thursday's Oval Office appearance alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump reminisced about his campaign bromance with Musk, who contributed at least a quarter-billion dollars to efforts supporting Trump's 2024 presidential bid and once called himself Trump's 'first buddy.' 'Elon endorsed me very strongly. He actually went up and campaigned for me. I think I would have won – Susie would say I would have won Pennsylvania easily anyway,' Trump said, referring to his chief of staff Susie Wiles, appearing to hint at tensions between Wiles and Musk. Trump appeared to moderate his tone at times, saying he 'always liked Elon' – before implicitly accusing him of so-called 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.' 'He's not the first – people leave my administration, and they love us, and then at some point they miss it so badly, and some of them embrace it, and some of them actually become hostile. I don't know what it is. It's sort of 'Trump derangement syndrome,' I guess they call it, but we have it with others too,' he said. 'They leave, and they wake up in the morning, and the glamour is gone,' he continued. 'The whole world is different, and they become hostile. I don't know what it is.'

Delta warns new tariffs could force it to stop buying foreign-made airplanes
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Delta Air Lines warned new tariffs on imported airplanes and parts could force the airline to stop buying foreign-made planes impacting millions of customers. The Atlanta-based carrier told the U.S. Commerce Department in comments seen by Reuters Thursday that in 2023 and 2024 it took delivery of 47 Airbus aircraft produced in Canada, Germany and France. If the carrier had not been able to take delivery of those planes because of tariffs it would have forced flight cancellations impacting 10 million customers. Delta said a "similar impact could be expected going forward" if the Trump administration imposes new tariffs.

Why Tesla (TSLA) Shares Are Trading Lower Today
Shares of electric vehicle pioneer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) fell 4.9% in the afternoon session as momentum slowed after a 40% rally that followed the Q1 2025 selloff, suggesting that the recent surge may have exhausted short-term buying interest. It is also possible some investors were taking profits amid uncertainty as they wait for more concrete updates on Tesla's highly anticipated product updates scheduled for later this year. These updates are critical for improving Tesla's growth story, as reported sales in Europe and China were weak in the first quarter of the year. Contributing to the pullback, a widely circulated Bloomberg report resurfaced concerns about the safety of Tesla's driver-assistance technology, highlighting a fatal 2023 crash. The timing of the story is especially sensitive, as Tesla prepares to unveil its AI-powered robo-taxi service in Austin later in the month, a launch that risked being overshadowed by renewed scrutiny and could shake investor confidence in the company's autonomous driving ambitions. Adding to the wall of worry is Elon Musk increasingly looking like an enemy to President Trump rather than a confidant. President Trump has shown the willingness to punish companies that do not fall in line with his agenda and vision. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Tesla? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Tesla's shares are extremely volatile and have had 131 moves greater than 2.5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 9 days ago when the stock gained 5.2% after the major indices (Nasdaq +2.0%, S&P 500 +1.5%) rebounded as President Trump postponed the planned 50 % tariff on European Union imports, shifting the start date to July 9, 2025. Companies with substantial business ties to Europe likely had some relief as the delay reduced near-term cost pressures and preserved cross-border demand. The update should be beneficial for Tesla, as data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association revealed the company sold 7,261 cars in Europe in April, down 49% year on year. So, the delay could help the company avoid being caught in the crossfire of retaliatory tariffs and potential complications from escalating trade tensions between the US and the EU. Contributing to the stock's momentum, CEO Elon Musk noted in a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) that he would be allocating more of his time to the company. He added, "I must be super focused on /xAI and Tesla (plus Starship launch next week), as we have critical technologies rolling out." Tesla is down 19.8% since the beginning of the year, and at $304.24 per share, it is trading 36.6% below its 52-week high of $479.86 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Tesla's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $5,152. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
