tulc(wonders if the reason it didn't get reported by "the media" was because it isn't true?)No, Trump didn't sign a bill this month to clean up oceans

Between the Mueller report and efforts to undo the Affordable Care Act, is President Donald Trump taking on marine trash?
"President Trump signed legislation to clean up millions of tons of trash from our oceans and lakes last week," reads the text of a Facebook post published on March 21, 2019. "But the media won’t report on that… ever."
This post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
We’ve checked a similar claim before. In late January, an article posted to Facebookclaimed that Trump had signed a bill "to clean millions of tons of garbage from the world’s oceans."
The story was referring to the Save Our Seas Act of 2018, which Trump signed on Oct. 11. He then said that more than 8 million tons of garbage is dumped into oceans every year and that the law "will help address this problem."
But Jordana Merran, communications manager for Ocean Conservancy, a nonprofit that supported the Save Our Seas Act and celebrated its passage, said it’s not accurate to summarize the legislation as a bill to "clean millions of tons of garbage from the world’s oceans."
Rather, the law Trump signed reauthorizes "the longstanding amount of $10 million annually" for NOAA’s Marine Debris Program, she said.
Or as it would be called if a Democrat had done what President Trump did today: "President Trump flip-flopped today on kids getting vaccinations."Trump got credit in the media today for encouraging vaccination. I live in Canada, it was reported on here. I know it was reported on in the US too bc my friends who live in Cali have posted links about it today, from different sources. So he did get credit for finally doing what's right.
tulc(just thought that should be pointed out)The president’s endorsement of vaccines, which comes as the U.S. is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in decades, is notable because of Trump’s history of conspiratorial thinking on the subject. In the years leading up to his presidential run, he tweeted several times to advance the long-debunked notion that vaccines are linked with autism.

✔@realDonaldTrumpHealthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes - AUTISM. Many such cases!
- Mar 28, 2014
And in a 2015 GOP debate, he said, “Autism has become an epidemic … I am totally in favor of vaccines. But I want smaller doses over a longer period of time.”
Perhaps even more troublingly, Trump flirted with appointing notorious anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a vaccine-study commission shortly after he took office, before pulling the plug on that disastrous idea.
Or as it would be called if a Democrat had done what President Trump did today: "President Trump flip-flopped today on kids getting vaccinations."
President Trump Might Not Be an Anti-Vaxxer Anymore

Here's the actual bill he signed: S.756 - 115th Congress (2017-2018): First Step Act of 2018Media has given many the wrong impression of Trump..
No they didn't. Trump didn't sign such a bill. He signed a piece of legislature similar to the one Obama signed in 2012 which provides $10,000,000 to promote international action to reduce marine debris, and for other purposes. Hopefully, the effect will help eliminate millions of tons of debris from the oceans.Media has given many the wrong impression of Trump..

The meme that you provided originated on Face Book but was removed for false or misleading information.
I really think we need to be able to flag stuff here that is false or misleading.
Is this the extension of the bill signed by Obama?
