Trump vows to cancel the Paris climate deal, stop funding UN global warming programs and save the coal industry.
Gotta love these plans. No wonder the big-government fans are apoplectic over Donald Trump as he paints targets on their most sacred cows.
In Australia Bill Shorten, potential Prime Minister, called Trump: “Barking Mad.” Shorten, showing his diplomatic talent, was burning goodwill with a potential US president and 45% of voters in the largest economy in the world and our most important strategic ally.
Below, the Trump plans this week: to use cheap energy; to stop trying to change the weather, and finish feeding faceless foreign bureaucracies.

Trump: “We’re going to cancel the Paris climate agreement,” he said.
Trump slammed both rivals in his speech, saying their policies would kill jobs and force the United States “to be begging for oil again” from Middle East producers.
Trump said slashing regulation would help the United States achieve energy independence and reduce America’s reliance on Middle Eastern producers. “Imagine a world in which oil cartels will no longer use energy as a weapon,” he said.

Trump said he would stop all payments of U.S. tax dollars to U.N. Global Warming programs.

In addition to his pledge to pull out of the Paris climate deal, Trump promised to only work with “environmentalists whose only agenda is protecting nature” and to “focus on real environmental challenges, not the phony ones”.
He contrasted this approach with that of Hillary Clinton, whose plan to combat climate change he called “a poverty expansion agenda”. Trump also attacked renewable energy sources, claiming that solar energy was too expensive and attacking wind turbines for “killing eagles”.
Vox – Trump Energy Speech
Coal production in the US has fallen 25% due to competition from fraking, and EPA regulations.
Donald Trump wants to bring back coal mining by repealing those EPA regulations. “We’re going to save the coal industry,” Trump promised
On renewables:
In his press conference with reporters before the speech, Trump elaborated: “I know a lot about solar,” he said. “The problem with solar is it’s very expensive.”
He also criticized wind turbines for killing birds in California. “Wind is killing hundreds and hundreds of eagles, one of the most beautiful, one of the most treasured birds,” he said. “So wind is a problem.”
“A Trump administration will focus on real environmental challenges, not the phony ones,” Trump said. “We’ll solve for environmental problems, like the need for clean and safe drinking water.” Later he elaborated: “My priorities are simple: clean air and clean water.”
Trump is so right it’s not even funny.
My Daddy was a coal miner ...owned his own mine and worked it...
then came home and worked on our farm every day...
sheep, chickens, fruit trees and all kinds of vegetables..
why don’t Daddies look after their babies like my Dad did ???
There’s an even better solution to poverty than a $15 minimum wage (Basic universal income)

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
The man keeps saying things that no one else would dare utter and I like 99.44% of them.
Kick the UN out of the USA! Solve a lot of problems with their crime committing diplomats who claim diplomatic status thus not prosecutable. Sell the building too to pay their debts.
