Al Gore: ‘I was wrong’ on Trump

By Aida Chavez - 07/18/17 08:56 AM EDT

Former Vice President Al Gore says he's given up hope that President Trump will "come to his senses" and act on climate issues.

Gore on Monday night told "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert that his hopes about Trump were wrong.

"I went to Trump Tower after the election," said Gore, who was on the show to promote his new documentary, "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power."

"I thought that there was a chance he would come to his senses. But I was wrong."

Gore said he initially worried that Trump withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement last month was "disastrous." But he felt some optimism after seeing how other countries "doubled down" and pledged to do even more to fulfill the agreement's goals, as well as other U.S. leaders' promises to work toward the deal.

"A lot of our most important governors and mayors and business leaders said, 'We're still in the Paris agreement, and we’re going to meet the commitments of the country regardless of what Donald Trump tweets.' "

What Al actually meant was that he thought that once Trump got a taste of the power of office he’d become One Of Them, and that it hasn’t happened.

Gore was wrong about Trump. We were right about Trump. Isn’t it funny how things work out?

One thing Algore is right about is being wrong.

tipper was a mental health activist of sorts. Why doesn’t she involuntarily commit this pathological degenerate? Maybe she’s similarly affected.

“Al Gore says he’s given up hope that President Trump will “come to his senses” and act on climate issues.

Gore is delusional.
