President Trump's decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris accords on climate change has made the nation a laughingstock on the world stage. The U.S. joins only Syria and Nicaragua among the world's countries as a non-signatory. Sad to say, but the Republican Party has become the Stupid White People's Party. Their disbelief of science has carried the day in favor of oil company greed, and the folks who believe Obama was born in Kenya and any other conspiracy theory you can think of. It might be funny if it weren't so tragically sad. German PM Angela Merkel said after Trump's visit to Europe that the U.S. can no longer be trusted. Sadly, she's right.
Trump has done more damage to America's reputation on the world stage in four months than any other president in 4-8 years, with the *possible* exception of George W. Bush.
Trump was only elected because white people *HATE* Hillary Clinton and because Republicans would vote for a known serial killer if he had an R next to his name. As Anne Coulter said, we knew Trump is a pig, but voted for him on the issues. SIGH!
I no longer think there is *any* hope for the Republican Party as currently constituted. It's turned itself into a combination of racist white NUTS, the investor class who only care about themselves, and party faithful who will accept any monstrosity for the sake of political power.
Enough. The American people have to stand up to this nonsense, and maybe the positive from all this is that Trump will force them to. But even if that happens, most likely we'd be back to the same old thing the next election cycle. The GOP has to be *forced* to change its morally bankrupt ways, and it won't do so until voters brainwashed for years by Rush and Fox News force them to. I doubt it will happen in my lifetime.
If there is any consolation, though, it's that the U.S. will sign the Paris accords again as soon as a Democrat is elected president, which may be as soon as 2020 the way Trump is going.
you say trump had no morals or ethics but you disregard all of the times obama acted without any class, or morals. which brings me to point out that even a refined person can still be scum. its the wolf in sheeps clothing
Besides of this, there is a reasonable fear for new wars, which fordermost consecuences will revert on Europe first.
Did I write Europe first? Forgive me ...
there are MILLIONS of whites in america. some vote for republicans some for democrats some for third party. thats not a pattern. the reason why trump won wasnt due to any racial patterns or else we wouldnt have had two terms of obama. the fact that people have free will means they get to choose what they believe in.
white supremecists support both groups racism had nothing to do with trumps election. anyone that says so is ignorant. all the hate crimes done in trumps name when he was elected was later discovered to be the acts of hillary and some bernie supporters. after trump was elected in several cities black people took to the street using racism as an excuse to terrorize the neighborhood dragging white people from their cars to beat up just because they were white. one guy actually had a bernie sticker on his car.
BTW, generalizations are just that. Doesnt literally mean Trump received zero minority votes. Hell the grand dragon of the KKK would probably get a few minority votes if he were a major party nominee. Clearly Trump was elected primarily because of the strong support of white voters.
