The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 1507 - Politics and Economics

Terms that are fair? There were no consequences for not adhering to it. How much fairer could it get?

That was why it was signed by everybody. It was nothing more than a promise to address global warming.

He mentioned "trillions" but I'm not clear whether he was referring to jobs or the stock market. Probably jobs. Trillions of new jobs.

It is an absurdity dictated by the need to make money.”

As a flat Earther I find this very offensive, we still need to protect our Earth regardless of shape

82 degrees there. I wish it was 97 and they were all sweating their asses off while denying global warming.

He's is such a ****ing idiot, those manufacturing/coal jobs are NEVER coming back and have little to do with the Paris agreement. Straight propaganda.

Yes, Donnie, the entire world applauded the Paris Agreement because it put America at a "disadvantage." Couldn't have anything to do with it helping the planet.

I am starting to rethink my position on the whole Kathy Griffin beheading Trump thing. Not sure if there's a downside to it anymore.

Politically, it makes sense for Trump to pull out. It's not like staying in would make anti-Trump people change their minds and begin supporting him. But staying in would probably force people away from him.

I'm sure he's not thinking this way. He's probably going "**** Obama and liberals. Yay pollution!"
