Billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer called President Trump a traitor if he makes good on his promise and exits the Paris climate change agreement.

"If Trump pulls the US out of the #ParisAgreement he will be committing a traitorous act of war against the American people," Steyer tweeted.

Steyer was very active during the presidential campaign through his group, NextGen Climate, and has become a leading activist in an agenda that supports moving the nation toward 100 percent renewable energy over the next 25 years.

How can a correction of an unConstitutional act be called “ a traitorous act”?
When a sitting President makes a treaty with other nations, and does NOT seek to have it ratified by Congress, as it is called out in the U.S. Constitution, to do so, THAT act is a traitorous act!

“Did Tom Streyer just declare war on the US?”

Sounds like it to me.

Steyer, if you open your mouth again in public, that will be tantamount to treason and you should be executed on the spot.

(Pretty good imitation of liberal “logic, huh?)

Trump's in this for America, not the global community, as he has often said. It's bad for American workers and jobs. This poppycock about "green jobs" down the road is malarkey. And that just p*sses off these progressive, Marxist liberals whose whole life and mantra is globalism and climate change.

Trump recognizes this built-in disadvantage to the US and just wades into the pack of liberal wolves with no fear and tells them so. Boy, will the heads start to explode now. ODorko is even mouthing off.

I agree with you on all counts.

We’ve got a leader again. Love it!

Steyer must have some good pharmaceuticals.

Steyer - just one more extremely wealthy left wing POS residing in CA. Nothing more needs to be said.

There’s ‘splody liberal brain matter all up here north of Baltimore. Had to rinse down the front sidewalk.

Yes, who made his money from coal.

Just remember the guy behind the words is Stephen Miller. Few give the speech writer his proper due. He did a marvelous job on the foreign tour and he continues to shine on all of President Trump’s speeches. We need to give a hat tip to this master conservative word smith. Thank you Jeff Sessions for providing President Trump with this talented communicator.
