This week, President Trump showed once again that, unlike his predecessor, he reads the fine print, and is not swayed by the unscientific blather of the internationalists who use fine talk to cover power-grabbing, anti-Americanism, and corruption.
He wisely pulled out of the Paris Accord -- something always billed as a perfectly voluntary agreement of nations. Had it been more transparently called a "treaty" the Accord would never have passed even minimal scrutiny and constitutionally mandated Senate approval. So it combines bad science, bad economics, and bad politics.
Here are some of the provisions, not reported by the mainstream press, which underscore that it was no more than a redistribution scheme designed to hamper U.S. competitiveness papered over by gaseous, meaningless platitudes about saving mankind.

Great read..., well laid out and written. Trump may be the worlds savior they just do not know it yet as they continue to listen to the lying media and what is left of the Democratic Party.

I disagree, at least concerning the Paris Agreement.
Trump hired a pro-Agreement Secretary of State, a pro-Agreement Secretary of Energy, a pro-Agreement West Wing adviser (Jared Kushner), and a Chief of Staff who claims to be “neutral” about the Agreement.
In my opinion, Trump rejected the Agreement because he knew millions of his Conservative supporters would walk away in political disgust if he accepted it.
In my opinion, Trump will actually allow some of the provisions in the Paris Agreement to become policy, or to become regulations, simply by not opposing the behind the scene actions of the federal bureaucracy.

I suspect you are right. We will be led to believe we have a victory and end up with what we peons usually end up with.
