President Trump Pulls out of Paris Agreement, but It's a Moot Point!

in news •  8 years ago 

I struggle to understand what Trump's objective is with pulling the US out of the Paris Agreement. The agreement is not binding. Rather than just ignore the agreement and do nothing ,why does he go through the effort of creating so much controversy? Its like he wants to be unpopular..

In all seriousness, country leaders should start doing what their roles imply and LEAD their country forward. People are tired of hearing bullshit from politicians who don't represent the ideas of the very people who got them elected. I mean c'mon we have achieved amazing things, we have self driving cars, we are developing nano technology, there are even programs working to get us to Mars, yet few can say that they believe their leaders are doing whats in everyone's best interest. It's about time we make politicians accountable for their actions.

I think he sees it as an opportunity to bolster his political base -- coal miners, blue-collar workers, etc. He's been suffering in the opinion polls, and some fissures are developing. This is a way to slam dunk an easy, moot point.

I think he's done it to show that he keeps his election promises! Hasn't Australia done something similar
