BERLIN (REUTERS) - Former US vice-president Al Gore suggested on Tuesday that the presidency of Mr Donald Trump could end prematurely for "ethical reasons", drawing laughter from a packed movie theatre at the European premiere of his latest film on climate change.

"We're only six months into the experiment with Trump. Some experiments are ended early for ethical reasons," Mr Gore said, acknowledging the "provocative" nature of his comment.

Mr Gore said he was convinced that US cities, states and business executives would meet US obligations under the 2015 Paris agreement to fight climate change, despite Mr Trump's decision in June to withdraw from the global pact.

"We have a global agreement and the American people are part of this agreement in spite of Donald Trump," he told hundreds of movie-goers at Berlin's Zoo Palast cinema after a showing of his new film, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.....

This moron, if he’d been POTUS, would have refused to bomb AlQaeda after 9/11, to prevent damage to the fragile Afghan ecosystem.

If America could stomach the “ethics” of the Clintons and Obamas, they will handle the ethics of Trump very well.

Would that include sending boatloads of cash to 3rd world kleptocracies to "help" them save the planet?

Wouldn’t it be ‘refreshing’ if a man who happened to have risen to the highest office in the land and was very rich had his own ‘detail’ and they were going out ridding us of these parasites one by one as these veiled threats were being leveled against him?

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

The Ctrl-Left has made their lie big enough, and they have kept repeating it in the hope that normal people will eventually come to believe something, anything sinister about the first great President since Ronald Reagan. However, the Constitution governs. "Ethical reasons" are like "Russia" - neither high crimes nor misdemeanors - not to mention that there is no evidence.

The really sad part of this is that if President Trump committed treason, accepted bribes (how do you bribe a billionaire???), or committed other serious crimes, real Americans would have supported impeachment. Now though, having heard insiders cry "wolf" so many times, no rational person will believe the next claim that President Trump should be impeached. It will look like what all of the other attacks on Trump have been, a lawless attempt to overthrow the election.

The last of the TN Gore clan in politics, Mr. "No controlling legal authority" - those tin-cupping telephone calls from the WH while VP.

Reminds one of that video of Bubba - the North Koreans will NOT get nuclear weapons.

But if the NKs do, the Chinese can help with any multi-stage rocket launch capabilities needed - and, of course, for a "small" finder's-fee to the tax-free Klinton Foundation for - you can even pick the name.

“Some experiments are ended early for ethical reasons”

Mind you, Hillary would probably be now worthy of a specimen jar had she won in November.

He’s wrong. We do not have a global agreement. The President has decided. Gore does not get to decide.

W on this forum has fallen a great deal but these days his greatest accomplishment in hindsight was preventing a Gore and Kerry presidency.

“”We’re only six months into the experiment with Trump. Some experiments are ended early for ethical reasons””

Who does he think he is, Dr. Quest?

AlGore is of course a massive jerk. But I was chilled by Kelly reciting how his job is to speak truth to power but follow orders, until...

“The principal ultimately decides and it is our way that so long as that decision is legal, moral, and ethical, one salutes and executes.”
