UN makes power play against Trump
The Hill ^ | Oct. 5, 2016 | Devin Henry

Posted on 10/05/2016 11:21:28 AM PDT by Innovative

International governments have made a power play against Donald Trump by ratifying an international climate deal earlier than expected, effectively preventing him from “canceling” the deal as he has promised to do.  The European Union’s Tuesday decision to join the Paris climate deal will push the deal over the threshold for ratification; it will formally take effect in 30 days. 

That means Trump, should he be elected president in November, could not “cancel” or renegotiate the terms of the agreement.

President Obama committed the United States to reduce its emissions by 26 percent to 28 percent by 2025 as part of the deal. The agreement is nonbinding, so Trump would be free to ignore it if he wins the White House.

It's plain for whom this ignorant twit is pulling. He's so ignorant that he doesn't appreciate how he's helping Trump!

Nope, no middle ground. It is impossible to deal with the left. They Always LIE!

So, I want their sorry treasonous A$$es tried and in jail.

Period.

Doesn’t even need canceling. Was never US law in the first place. Temp could still hold a press conference and publicly state that it means so little it doesn’t even require cancelation. Best of both worlds.

This will help elect Trump

How do you figure? Not 1% of 1% of a 1/2% of the registered voters know about this and the others are busy watching NFL Sunday Ticket and could care less kneeling along with the BLM crowd.

Everyone except Patriotic Americans is against Donald. Coincidentally, the same ones that are against Donald are also against Patriotic Americans.

“Anything from the UN is free to be ignored.”

Anyone who ignores the UN gets a nod from me. If they give them the finger, they get a raise.
