President Trump has privately told multiple people, including EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, that he plans to leave the Paris agreement on climate change, according to three sources with direct knowledge.

Publicly, Trump's position is that he has not made up his mind and when we asked the White House about these private comments, Director of Strategic Communications Hope Hicks said, "I think his tweet was clear. He will make a decision this week."

We indeed have a regular poster who visits all the sites at Free Republic, but especially the Ivanka/Jared ones...

This poster fits the three points in your “fake story~triple whammy” to a T.

Hope this is true and makes sense to announce the decision from here rather than from Europe.

You did’t say it would be in Spanish ;-) Meanwhile, Trump has been getting an earful in Europe. Now Mattis is saying Trump is keeping an open mind. It was interesting that tonight’s episode of Madame Secretary had the theme of many of our Naval bases worldwide being in danger because of rising sea levels. Is that true? But very little is being spent to raise the bases a few feet in anticipation.

“The fact the Merkle was irate over Trump then the more the better. Poland would make a better ally than Germany.”

I totally agree... Not only Poland, but most of the former Warsaw Pact countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

This is a sanctioned leak.

If so, Scott Pruitt is the target, since he was the only source that was named.

Stationed in Germany in 1980’s. Can confirm squishy fat German women. I wish the wall had come down 2 years earlier.

On "yes," "no" and "maybe" there was an old saying (from an era of stricter morality):

If a diplomat says "yes," he means "maybe." If a diplomat says "maybe," he means "no." If a diplomat says "no," he's no diplomat.

If a lady says "no," she means "maybe." If a lady says "maybe," she means "yes." If a lady says "yes," she's no lady.

Trump needs to give McConnell 2 options: Either approve his tax cuts, NOW, or he sends the Paris agreement to the Senate for ratification.

Should have been done months ago. But, in the interim, if Trump wants to spin the RATS totally out of control as a distraction then he should send a bunch of different Second Amendment bills to the Congress and watch Schumer and Pelosi and the rest wet themselves trying to stop them. For example: National Reciprocity. Take Suppressors out of the category of Class III, Require BATFE to take SELF DEFENSE into account in issuing all subsequent regulations on firearms. In other words remove the "sporting purposes" language. Do these as LEGISLATION and not EO's which are all too easily undone. Watch the RATS lose their minds.
