This article uses the word 'wilding' which is not in widespread use.

Trump got into politics when there were a series of rapes in Central Park in New York City. The police, under pressure to find the culprits, coerced a group of young black men into false confessions, in which the police described "wilding" where the falsely accused supposedly ran around raping and killing white women. Trump took out full-page newspaper ads calling for them to be executed, and the Central Park 5 spent many years in prison before eventually being exonerated when DNA analysis became possible.

So "wilding" is is a reference to wanton rape and attempted murder, to Trump's racist smearing of the innocent, and to the perfidy of police.

Trump officials have delayed finalizing the repeal of the agency’s “endangerment finding” over concerns the proposal is too weak to withstand a court challenge.

The key problem is that it's been put together by Travis Fisher, who is the Cato Institute lead in blocking renewable energy for the benefit of the fossil fuels industry, and promoting "abundance" in place of cheap renewables. He brought in a bunch of climate denialists who openly said that their goal was to "call into question" the science, rather than go where the evidence led.
