Trump’s Position on Climate Change
We’ve all seen Donald Trump’s tweets that use the snap of cold weather in the Eastern U.S. to ridicule the idea of global warming, and we’ve seen how this is immediately attacked as “ignorant.” Yet it’s important to draw the distinction between an ignorant president and ignorant voters.I doubt very seriously that Trump personally disbelieves the accepted science behind climate change (he has access to the weather map below), but that doesn’t stop him from selling his crap to his supporters, who are a combination of:
a) uneducated people, who will believe anything he says, as long as it appeals to their hateful and racist nature, and
b) rich people, who will roll their eyes and put up the national embarrassment associated with anything he says, as long as they can have their tax cuts.
Trump isn’t ignorant; he’s a master manipulator and showman with no integrity whatsoever. He gives his followers what they want, regardless of what it is, and he’s as good at this as anyone who’s ever walked the Earth.
People say he’s a “monster.” That’s debatable, though one thing’s sure. He’s successfully hard-wired himself into those monster-qualities that were looming just under the surface in the American psyche until he came along and lift the top off the box: hate, bigotry, a thirst for violence and revenge, ignorance, selfishness and greed.
Again, you’ll never find anyone more talented at putting on this kind of disgusting and disgraceful theater.
As we enter 2018, maybe it’s time we closed this show, and replaced it with a new one that features an old-fashioned theme. How about a little honesty and compassion in the new year?
Craig,
Or then again he could just be poking fun at all those po-faced, santimonious, fantical climate alarmists !
If I were him I would be delighted to see the indignant outrage by oversealous, self-righteous humourless opponents.
The Puritans must have felt much the same at the restoration of Christmas festivities by King Charles the Second. After eleven grim years, the people of England delighted in poking fun at their former humourless rulers and were encouraged by a populist and clever Monarch.
Did you ever consider that perhaps it’s you who have become like those Puritans in 1661 ? Humourlesss, rigid, sanctimonious, docreinaire, unwittingly hypocritical ?
Don’t you realize it might be the outrage and unrelenting hatred for the President by the liberal media and leftist-elite that sustains his support ?
Regrettably, the public’s ignoring Trump would not make him go away.
