Everything is personal for Trump, and everything he does is for short gain. I think Bannon worked on him after his trip, fed Trump's resentments, and got him persuaded to leave the Paris Accords, something that's pure Bannon.
Trump tried to leave that door open, but once out, the US won't get back in. Bad for us, but possibly the best thing that could have happened for the other 200 nations in the accord. With a wishy-washy United States in the lead, the accords would never have gotten very far.

Why is church attendance declining

When a man is so weak that he throws global tantrums, it might be time for a White House playpen.

But we need to have the nuclear football removed from his toy chest.

I definitely agree. I've never felt less safe as I have since he gained access to that.

Let's face it the accords are pretty lame and will accomplish nothing besides screw the Western worker and consumer anyways.

No, that ain't happenin. It's bad business.

Madonna, Ashley Judd, Kathy Griffin, Meryl Streep, etc.

Y'all can get in the back of the bus. Remember that one?

Oh don't worry. We'll remind ya.

I say we gut all the Planned Parenthoods across America and turn them into nuclear power plants, just out of spite.

We can turn art galleries into Bass Pros. Gut all the soon to be failed movie theaters into mega-churches.


Keep it up snowflakes. Trump is here to stay.



If we cons want to see a show, all we have to do is install coin slots onto our liberal counterparts and let em rip.

Hollywood is alienating half of its audience. You think we're gonna continue to waste our time and money watching them snowflake idiots try to shame us, preach to us, anything but entertain us? Don't think so.
Speaking of petulant children...

But, back to the topic...

"This all stems from a CNN report Tuesday that the loneliness of the presidency is getting to Trump and is affecting his mood along with his waistline. He's "lonely, angry and not happy with much of anyone" reporter Gloria Borger wrote.
A source, who was described as "someone who speaks with the president," put the situation even more bluntly. "He now lives within himself, which is a dangerous place for Donald Trump to be," the person apparently told CNN. "I see him emotionally withdrawing. He's gained weight. He doesn't have anybody whom he trusts.""
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/donald-tru...153339181.html

"In this White House, reaching resolution is often a spectacle, loaded with internal debate and public jockeying, presided over by a leader who seeks to wring out every dramatic moment before an audience, but who is also prone to second-guessing and indecisiveness."

"...a White House where aides aired dissent more publicly than in previous administrations, often on television where they suspected the president would see it. Others in Washington picked up on that tactic: Republican lawmakers on both sides of the health care debate used TV appearances to lobby the president."

For President Trump, decisions accompanied by drama

The Paris Climate Agreement was doomed the moment Trump was placed in power by the Russians. Having a temper tantrum because the leaders of several European nations gave as good as they got was just icing on the cake.

Trump's face is that of a winner! Peeving off Euro-trash and the loony American left is what got him elected.

The Paris Accord isn't meaningful..THAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THIS! Besides, it was illegal to begin with.
