Actually, you're putting your personal feelings of Trump ahead of a wise decision that Trump made.

At least you don't disagree with the points the article made that's a start I guess.

I didn't comment on the article so your comment is illogical. I merely responded to your comment that I quoted.

Nothing, but it's par for the course.

The truth is that Trump is doing a pretty good job.

I get that some on the left don't like Trump's policies, by even the left should be pleased with how Trump has handled Syria, and how well he is handling the North Korea situation.

No doubt about it.

Most anything he does will come under scrutiny from "the left", but everything he changes that Obama did will get scrutinized to death just because.

Oh yeah, he is doing a bang up job. Making enemies all over the world and inspiring hate crimes at home! And his family seems to be involved in corruption like we have never seen before. He is really draining that swamp, what with all of his cronies in Cabinet positions and his ethics waivers.
Remember how he had the 30 day plan to eradicate ISIS? He didn't want to share it, but he definitely had one. And now they are gone! Oh, wait...

While I didn't care for Mitt Romney too much, he sure didn't say the BS Trump does.

Pretty sure there's not much that's scripted from Trump. He's not going to talk like your typical politician.

Inspiring hate crimes?! Like these ones? fakehatecrimes.org

Are you referring to the lunatic in Portland, whose Facebook posts show him to be Sanders/Stein supporter? You can watch a video on YouTube of him being kicked out of a Trump rally on April 29th by real Trump supporters who tell him his hate speech has no place with them and will not be tolerated.

Maybe you are referring to Eric Clanton, antifa goon and former ethics and philosophy professor. He seemed to be fueled by hate when he attacked innocent people at a Trump rally with a U-lock.

I wonder what Kathy Griffin was trying to inspire with her "art." Peace? Love?

The narrative that Trump inspires hatred or violence in his supporters is false and completely baseless.

Default Mr. Trump, you don't know Pittsburgh

Indira Lakshmanan, a Pittsburgh native, made many of the same points expressed in this column this past Friday as a panelist on PBS' "Washington Week."

<<But just as they came together after World War II to clean up the soot-filled air that once blacked out the sun, becoming a model for environmental campaigns elsewhere, [Pittsburgh] civic leaders steadily transformed the economy into a hub for higher education, medicine, high-tech, advanced manufacturing and — wait for it — green energy, which now accounts for 21 percent of jobs.
>>

https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/...QOM/story.html

According to this Clean Jobs Pennsylvania website linked in Lakshmanan's column, Pennsylvania in total has 57,000 (over 12,000 apparently in Pittsburgh proper) clean energy jobs, about 15 percent more than the nation's total coal mining jobs.

http://www.cleanjobspa.com/

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t17.htm

The Trump administration's uniformed championing of the coal and carbon fuel industries over the nation's clean energy industries, actually may be a large economic negative for Pittsburgh.

See post 23 here:

EPA Chief Pruitt flat out lies about coal jobs
