Well, after Trump's disatrous foreign trip and now pulling out of a climate deal that most of the world has agreed to, the United States is officially a second-world country. No longer the world's leader, thanks to that crew in Washington.
That's OK. Everything has a silver lining.
When you see an idiot digging himself into a hole, don't take the shovel away from him.
Let Trump discredit the GOP. He hasn't read a book in four decades and the Republicans haven't had a new idea in just as long.
That was the point. Obama even said on his first campaign trail that the US had to be knocked down so other countries can come up. His meathead supporters must not have heard that, they were passed out on the ground from hearing their messiah speak.
Yep.
Obama did love to go and apologize to the rest of the world for being American.
And ironically, Trump just knocked the US to the bottom of the heap. Nobody wants to deal with him. The objective of the Russians since the end of World War II has been accomplished by Trump in five months: to create a rift in the Atlantic alliance and NATO.

not necessarily. they were probably cheering that part.
Any Treaty is required to be approved by Congress. This is why the League of Nations did not go far under Wilson.
Seems to be quite a number of correspondents here who have forgotten that little detail concerning treaty ratification...to the extent that any of them knew about it at all.

Let's see. Obama signed the Paris Agreement. His political party was destroyed under his leadership.
This speaks for itself about the chickens coming home to roost.
Where do you pull these figures from? Please show us, because everything I have read says that rejecting this longstanding agreement will be very harmful to us. So show us these 2.7 million jobs, Waldo. Coal manufacturing is a dinosaur. Even without the agreement, few coal jobs will be saved (if any). Renewable energy is the future.
Correct. Jobs from clean energy FAR outpace jobs from old technologies. Go to the Citizens Climate Lobby and the data is presented there.
Sadly, this will hurt Trump lovers the most, even if they don't believe it. All those poor coal miners are not going back to the mines. We're in great company now with Syria and Nicaragua.
It seems as if the Trump lovers like seeing us fail and fall in status because he's reversing all the good that Obama did for the country and they hated it. Even they have to admit we're not leading the world anymore. Sad.
This is all Steve Bannon's doing. His whole mission is to dismantle the American government and the unity of nations. An essential part of dismantling the world order was destroying the world's unity concerning climate change.
This is all Bannon........100%
