Former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said it would be “really stupid” for President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. participation in the Paris agreement on climate change.
As part of a wide-ranging talk about the 2016 campaign, Clinton said a withdrawal from the Paris accord would be “a breach of an agreement” that would cede U.S. leadership on fighting global warming.
“You stand with your prior administration whether it was of your party or not,” Clinton said at a tech conference in southern California, also saying it would be “totally incomprehensible” and “incredibly foolish” to withdraw from the Paris agreement.
Trump is expected to withdraw from the accord sometime this week. White House aides have told reporters Trump favors exiting the deal, which the Obama administration joined in 2016.
European leaders, environmentalists and Democrats have urged Trump to stay in the Paris agreement — even though Trump already began dismantling the Obama-era policies meant to comply with the accord.
Clinton echoed arguments commonly made by Paris proponents, including that withdrawal would cost the U.S. economic opportunities in green energy.
“The President is a very impulsive, reactive personality,” Clinton said. “So, if we all like the Paris agreement, he may decide to get out of it, not even understanding one bit about what that means, or even understanding the economic cost of it.”
“There’s a huge market that somebody’s going to own and we’re giving it up,” Clinton said.
One really great thing about America’s many long years of war is that we have all these incredibly talented , vastly experienced , highly accurate long range snipers . Which have all been hewn in the fires of the most intense of combat . Pulling the trigger for them has become a fine art . the can deliver hit after hit at over 2000 yrds . The world’s worst problems are then eliminated . Next bad guy target....
For years all of our worst enemies have been ‘over there’ . Not so anymore .
Really stupid is her scientific conclusion
Thank you. I had never seen that great Thatcher quote.
And yet she doesn’t know why it would be bad.
You miss the beautiful intentional falsity of any Clinton statement. This is what they do, craft self-serving lies by which they obscure reality. Like: she takes responsibility but it wasn’t her fault.
These nobodies have no class. When you lose, you’re done. Go away.
Perfect!
Who cares what she said...
Hillary Clinton, sore loser.
Still stone stupid and still not in jail!
That’s why we have ISIS in Iraq and Syria right now. Obama was so obsessed with undoing what Bush had done in Iraq that he made sure all US troops were removed, creating the vacuum that ISIS was able to exploit.
This broad is the gift that keeps on giving.Just like herpes.
Do it already, Harry!
Hussein Obama's reasons for removing US troops from Iraq were much different than that.
Hussein started wars/Arab Spring in Egypt, Libya, Syria..... The purpose was to overthrow gov't and create refugees.
Then Hussein would bring in huge numbers of Muslims into the US. The purpose was not to help the "refugees", the purpose was to fundamentally change the US.
President Trump was NOT kidding when he said Hillary and Hussein started ISIS. America's FIRST Muslim President was working for them, not us.
The climate change cult is the folly of the over-educated. The epitome of human arrogance. Pulling out of the Paris Accord is essential.
This outrage is all about money, OUR MONEY. This is why Merkel threw Trump under the bus. They see the big slush fund called the US tax payor slipping away from their grasp.
If The Beastly Bitch Of Benghazi is for it you know it’s bad for America.
Is she is against it you know it is good for America.
Just wait until the Iran ‘agreement’ goes by the boards — then you’ll see a full left-wing freak-out.
