California Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday called President Donald Trump’s approach to climate change and North Korea “stupid and dangerous and silly,” sharpening his criticism of the president and comparing his supporters to ignorant cave dwellers.
“They’re both kind of very similar,” Brown said at a climate change event in New York. “You should check out the derivation of ‘Trump-ite’ and ‘troglodyte,’ because they both refer to people who dwell in deep, dark caves.”
Brown, the Democratic governor of the nation’s most populous state, has been rushing to recruit other state and local governments to sign onto their own non-binding climate agreements in defiance of Trump. At an event coinciding with the United Nations meeting in New York, Brown said Trump’s election has made it easier to promote climate-related policies, with the rise of a “real adversary that is not believable, is not credible.”
“President Trump is the null hypothesis, which he’s proven,” Brown said. “Everything he’s doing is … stupid and dangerous and silly. I mean, come on, really, calling the North Korean dictator ‘Rocket Man?’ … He is accelerating the reversal through his own absurdity.”
While acknowledging he was making “lemonade out of a lemon,” Brown predicted Trump will “fail very soon” in the face of economic and other international forces.
“These other powers are going to gang up on Mr. Trump, and he’s going to find out, ‘You’re fired,’” Brown said.
Trump has called climate change a hoax and earlier this year announced he will withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement. Many Republicans have argued the cost of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is unduly burdensome.
Brown, touching off several days of climate talks, said of the opposition to Trump on climate change, “It takes what we’re doing today and this week, and all the other things that we have to do to finally put the nail in, I don’t want to say in Trump’s coffin … That’s a tweet, so I better not do that. But we’re getting there. We’re making change. So I’m very optimistic in the face of Washington’s absent leadership.”
Liberal, thy name is projection.
Did he yell it? I suspect Brown’s rather hard of hearing and seems to shout and bluster everything else.
I’d take Trumps values any day.
Brain Fog Jerry would be wise to look at the number of CA voters who voted for Trump who he’s insulting and pissing off even more with his Liberal insanity!!
Really? Then we can cave his head in with a club?
What’s brown and draws flies?
“They’re both kind of very similar,”
“What’s that you say? Valley Talk? You ignorant caveman!”
So now I am a cave dwelling, Bible and gun toting, deplorable...and PROUD OF IT! :)
Thanks moonbeam. Nicest compliment I have had so far today. Well, considering the source.
Trump’s popularity just went up...again. Thanks d-bag Brown!
I may live “in a cave”, but that’s better than California.....
“Gotta find a woman, gotta find a woman, gotta find a woman, gotta find a woman”.
Like Really?
“and comparing his supporters to ignorant cave dwellers”
I love you too Jerry.

And I compare you, Jerry Moonbeam Brown, with the leeches that attach to my body while walking in the woods. You suck my blood, while I do not need or get anything from you.
When I was young I met Edmund Brown leaving church at the Old Mission in San Juan Capistrano She was thrilled to be on TV that night but I still remember she whispered to me, “ His kids are ^%$^damned little brats!”

Don’t you worry, it’s only a shower
For your clothes, here’s a pretty flower

You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
