If the deal doesnt fit, Trump must quit?
Former Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday mocked President Trumps claims that he will handle climate change likening it to O.J. Simpson hunting for his ex-wifes murderer.
When Donald Trump says we're going to negotiate a better deal you know, he's going to go out and find a better deal? Kerry said on NBC News Meet the Press.
That's like O.J. Simpson saying he's going to go out and find the real killer...Everybody knows he isn't going to do that because he doesn't believe in it.
Trump on Thursday announced his plans to pull the United States out of the Paris climate deal, making it one of the few counties in the world to not support the first international agreement to cut back on pollution.
Trump framed it as a mostly economic decision, claiming he planned to negotiate a climate deal that would not burden the United States with as many costs and regulations.
But hundreds of business leaders argued that the deal, written as is, would have been a boon to the American economy, and the leaders of France, Germany and Italy said in a joint statement the Paris deal cannot be renegotiated.
Trump has publicly wavered about global warming, hinting that he believes in some climate change while never going back on his prior claims that it is a hoax. It is unclear if he and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt even discussed climate change before leaving the Paris deal.
Kerry said Trumps exit says everything one needs to know about where the President stands.
If he did believe in it, he wouldn't have pulled out of Paris, he said.
America has unilaterally ceded global leadership on this issue.
Trump abandoned the deal despite its support from some of his top advisors including Kerrys successor, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Tillerson is a former CEO of ExxonMobil, the energy company that snuffed climate change awareness for years but, even so, came out in support of the Paris accord.
Kerry wondered what made Trump think he knows better.
I mean, what does Donald Trump know that Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of ExxonMobil, doesn't know? he asked.
Poster Comment:
A great accomplishment was achieved by Kerry as Secretary of State: those of us who watched him like a scientist watches a lab rate saw that this imbecile wasn't fit for any job, except perhaps that of towel boy in a whorehouse let alone Secretary of State, but then there was little Hillary.
Are we to believe that John Kerry knows anything worth repeating? Dumber than a box of rocks, and worthless as a sink hole! Who gave him a microphone, and are they that desperate? Maybe Hillary was close by, and it made more sense to give the microphone to him than to her! (Hello?)
He and the equally obnoxious Al Gore(d) would make a great match.
