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.”
Ignorant cave dwellers = = =
I was just getting used to “Basket of Deplorables”...
Better call up my Tattoo shop for an “add-on”.
I’d like the roast duck with mango salsa, please.
...the level of hatred he has inspired in the left -- the riots, the seething Facebook posts and, of course, the slavering fake news of the mainstream media -- has revealed the left's true, nasty and oppressive nature to the liberal middle. YouTube suddenly abounds with stories of "red pill" moments in which liberals, experiencing the wickedness of the left, suddenly realized that conservatives are now actually the liberal ones. I think this is the beginning of a groundswell that will have a profound and beneficial effect on the culture. [The Surreal Blessings of Donald Trump | Andrew Klavan 2017-09-14]Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Seems to me Governor Brown should be more worried about fixing the dilapidated dam structures in his state than trashing Trump . This is something he could have pushed from day one of his second time in office.
I am sure that talk like this will only serve to encourage us red necked folks out here in fly over country to vote to give California more and more and more and more of our tax dollars for his Super Train and illegal alien support programs.
Mrs. Brown came out of her hole, like a Mohave Green in October, to exercise a statewide violation of civil rights - disparaging a California super-minority of some 2 million voters publically.
Now how is a republican going to be able to trust the state government to deal with them fairly in any matter the state is involved in? Including tabulating votes?
tsk tsk Mrs. Brown. I hear the rumblings of a class action brewing, Troglodyte Deplorables style.
He’s going to wish he were in a cave when fat boy lobs one at him.
If you’ve got a cave, you can come in out of the rain, otherwise, as a liberal, you just stand and get wet.
You might also be a homophobic, racist, sexist, misogynist. But then, I don’t know you personally, just tossing out some of the labels we have borne....
He’s trying to take the focus off that pension nightmare in CA
Damn and here all this time I thought I was just a deplorable:-)
California is in rebellion to the United States of America and this scumbag traitor Jerry Brown should be arrested, tried, and executed for treason.
No kidding, over half the state.
I just about had enough of F’n California.
Calexit can’t happen fast enough.....
We need a parallel effort to expel CA maybe cal it #CALGONE.
Everything they call us is what they’re already guilty of. They are so predictable.
Can we send Jerry Brown to North Korea..nah, even I wouldn’t wish THAT on North Korea
