[Mr. K]

They know what his thoughts are? Interesting...

How about he just looked at this stupid ILLEGAL agreement and said “OMIGOD WE ARE *NOT* SENDING $3 TRILLION DOLLARS OVERSEAS”

[Williams]

I was listening to a reporter on Fox who often criticizes Trump. He said this was a phony deal that everyone knew would have no effect on anything, even CO2, and that the reaction has everything to do with the behavior of Trump’s opponents and nothing to do with the substance of the Paris Accords.

[originalbuckeye]

So, the ‘agreement’ doesn’t allow anyone to pull out for three years?? WATCH TRUMP! Obama was the most destructive pResident in our history. He really needs to go away.....with Hillary. Let them catfight each other in a cage match.

[Fhios]

The Trump administration will begin the process of withdrawing from the Paris agreement, which will take at least until November 2019. The agreement doesn’t allow signatories to pull out for three years after it goes into force.

One President cannot encumber another with a Presidential agreement (non treaty). The agreement lives and dies with the originators Presidency. There is no exit rule Trump has to legally follow. President Trump can cut off any exit rule right at the souls of it's feet.

[HombreSecreto]

What is this three years to exit nonsense? The Senate never ratified this treaty so John Kerry’s signature (as you know John Kerry served in Vietnam...hat tip Rush) means nothing.

[VanDeKoik]

The blue collar billionaire.

He never lost that everyday man persona that his dad instilled in him.

[Drew68]

Trump pulled the United States out of the Paris Accords because it was a very bad deal for Americans, not out of spite towards people he doesn’t like. That’s something Obama would do.

[dforest]

This “treaty” er agreement, whatever, was never ratified by Congress. I do not care what they call it. It is a treaty and it is not legal.

We should be able to pull out of this easily because it was never subjected to the Constitutional ratification.

Hussein’s signature is insufficient like everything else he ever did.

[Rebelbase]

Not to mention the global elites will lose millions in planned future green investments.

[Sir Napsalot]

And predictably the same elitists have exactly the reactions for us to see clearly.

Leftists and elitists (aren't they one and the same) are so transparently foreseeable, it is as fair as shooting fish in a barrel.

[Da Coyote]

Which is why the Trumpster was elected.

Amazing, is it not, that such a supposedly dumb guy can outwit all those “elite” folks.

I’m thinking that “elite” does not mean what it’s supposed to mean.

[lacrew]

That’s funny. Yesterday, Scott Pruitt was on Savage, and he stated the US would immediately quit making payments to the Green Climate Fund.

[sickoflibs]

Love it!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He’s talking about YOU, Leonardo.

[RummyChick]

Leo is one of the worst hypocrites

[philled]

It is nothing to do with climate— it is only about taking American dollars. If the claim is that we are due three years of commitment ($$), tell them that there is only one check being cut and they and the UN have to figure out whose name goes on it because we’re only going to fleeced by one of them. And we’ll deal with that one in the (hopefully) near future. The UN makes NATO look efficient.

[trebb]

The rich guy wants to stick it to the rich jet-setters.....

“The agreement doesn’t allow signatories to pull out for three years after it goes into force.”

Boolshite. Signing has no binding effect until ratified by Senate, which it has not been.
