Opionions on Trumps speech today on withdrawing from Paris Climate Control (Obama, military)

[Atalanta]

Did anyone watch his speech in its entirety today?

I did.

I am an avid believer in taking care of our planet and all life forms on it.
This is one area I have not been in support of around Trump.

I listened to his speech and it makes sense why he pulled out.

Our huge financial obligation to under developed countries.
Under developed countries will not have mandated coal restrictions for years.
They take are manufacturing jobs(jobs are sent overseas), because we have to shut down plants.

The United States already sent $450 billion to this organization and there is no answers to exactly where it is going.
Some of this funding was taken away from Military funds.

I can see why he did this as a way to take care of America.

He said he would like to renegotiate a new deal that did not put most of the burden on America.


I am still torn on Earth and pollution and hoping a new deal can be negotiated.

But everyone, all countries have to step up and have to partake in the same efforts and finances.

Me too...and I'm not quite cynical to believe it can't be done without treaties and endless government regulations (and the costs that go with them)

Lets see..."facts" based on a study of what would happen is ONLY the US abided by the paris accord and no one else did.

Once your narrative starts off with lies...well..there you go.

renegotiating it would have shown strength. This? Just showed that he believes whatever he is told. bad facts in, bad results out.

I watched it.

Great speech.

Trump still winning.

Leftist heads are still exploding.

Great day to be American

Well, we are in the elite company of Syria and Nicaragua - so there is that.

A Trump supporter supporting Trump's hate of the environment? Shocking. Never would have guessed that. Republicans have made their hate of the environment very very clear, and never so much as they have the last four months.

We can't actually pull out of the deal until Nov. 2020. Another reason to send this man back to his glided cage in the sky.

Its welfare/ distribution of wealth on a global scale. No thanks.

It's nice to see a President act in favor of the American people as opposed to being a shill for the special interests, like Obama was.

He repeated a lot of nonsense that he has said before. Fact check reviewed it here:
