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."

Take option three and withdraw from the underlying criminal organization. We a not talking about pollution here but cutting the legs out from under our economy. If the EU and it’s member third world states want to commit economic suicide, like their demographic and cultural suicide, they should be allowed to do so without dragging us down into their pit.

Isn’t a confidant someone that doesn’t talk out of school? You know, they don’t leak . . .

The Paris Accord is just a redo of Kyoto and Congress said "NO" unanimously to Kyoto.

Trump should not hesitate.

And as usual....it's all about money. As far as the EU and in particular, Merkel....SU

Tillerson

We know he is for climate change.

Tillerson is from Wichita Falls, Texas, where the average high in June, July, and August is in the 90s.

If I was from Wichita Falls, I'd be in favor of climate change too.

I agree. He wants to be on USA soil when he announces our withdrawal.

Thank you President Trump.

He gave the European, NATO nations a chance on his trip.

He may have changed his mind if instead of snickering at him or promising to ‘start’ paying the full amount due for Nato AFTER Trump leaves office, they had actually started paying now.

OK.. it was their choice.
If I’m right, (I hope I am) Trump will cancel the agreement.

Go Trump!

I am trying to understand, since it’s an unratified treaty, why there will be any period of time where we have to have any involvement if the decision is to withdraw. What are we withdrawing from? And I particularly want assurances that while Trump is trying to craft a new budget with a whole new direction, that we have to have a nickels worth of money to lay out for this turkey.

My wife and I said “maybe” when we meant “no” but wanted to avoid an argument at that time. They knew what maybe means.

....Obama never consulted Congress and unilaterally signed it on behalf of the US....

By bypassing the Advice and Consent of the Senate which is REQUIRED by the Constitution for Treaty ratification, and Zer0 signing it anyway, the Treaty is void on its face.

"This was a no brainer! Be considered the Best Republican President EVER or Making Ivanka happy LOL"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

My bet is that Ivanka (as beautiful as she admittedly is) has essentially zero grasp of the science involved.

If Ivanka can answer this one simple question -- with zero help -- I will graciously concede that her input re GoreBull Wahruming might be worthy of consideration:

If you traveled 40 ppm of the trip from LBJ to LAX -- where would you be?

(40ppm is at least 4X the fraction of atmospheric CO2 that is controllable by mankind.)

You get dozens of girls getting ripped to shreds in Europe, and the ‘super-smart’ people there respond by inviting millions more of the terrorist types in?

For once, I sure hope this ‘leak’ is real - Trump should not have anything to do with people that REFUSE to protect their own societies...and then go off claiming that they’re SAVING THE WORLD!

Ivanka’s main job is to help get President Trump reelected in 4-short years.

My guess is that Ivanka has been assigned the job of being a buffer on this topic.

He could comply with it if he resumed expansion of nuclear power.

2) Reversal in 4th Circuit. oops.

Is the 4th Circus laden with Democrat partisan judges? What's going on with the ridiculous courts overstepping clear boundaries so extremely?

If the GOP Congress had any balls, they'd join forces with the Executive Branch and start working on widespread reform of what appears to be a runaway Judicial Branch.

It seems to me as if the President isn't highlighting these battle lines as clearly as he needs to. The sequence of actions that the Courts have taken regarding the President's plenary legal authority regarding immigration—and, by extension, Congresssional authority as well—justifies an all out Crusade against such out of control Judicial abuse.

Similarly, there should also be a Crusade against the Deep State and Swamp. IMHO, the President needs to do more to connect with the People regarding why it's important that these battles are fought.

I can't imagine the USSC upholding all this Democrat Judicial insanity on immigration, can you? How could they? It seems like a smackdown of great magnitude is needed by the USSC...
