Trump drops by United Nations climate summit
CBS News ^ | 09/23/2019 | BY EMILY TILLETT

President Trump briefly stopped by a daylong summit of world leaders meeting to discuss climate change at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York before leaving to address a meeting on the persecution of religious minorities and his administration's efforts to support religious freedom.

Earlier Monday morning, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham raised the possibility that Mr. Trump might find time to appear at the climate change summit. "His schedule is ever changing, but it wouldn't surprise me if he popped by," she said in an appearance on Fox News.

And Mr. Trump did end up dropping by a morning session, where he was seen listening to the climate discussion inside the General Assembly Hall. Seated with new U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft and Vice President Mike Pence, the president listened intently for about 10 minutes before departing for his religious freedom event.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, who has been making a push to end new coal plant construction by 2020 to curb greenhouse gas emissions, did not want countries supporting the expansion of coal production to have allotted speaking time at the climate summit, so as a result, the leaders of Australia and Japan will reportedly also not be addressing the summit.

LOL, we know them for what they are.

They would rather we off ourselves (not THEM and their loved ones, of course...because they “care”) to save a rock from erosion.

ROTFLMAO!

Can you imagine all the dumb ass leftists look out the window and see AF1 coming in at window level straight for them...”LOOK OUUUUUUUUTTTT! ARGGGGHGGGGGGGHHHH!”

Trump grins, turns to the pilot and says “Let’s do it again! Can I fly this time?”

I’m sure even though he wasn’t there in person, some golden calf Obama worshiper must have said “I wish Obama were still President. At least Obama made the oceans lower a bit!”
