All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

Bound to wind up defensive and sensitive Trump supporters in denial of his and their racism.

Such a liberal administration. Not fascistic at all!

Oh my god he's a FUCK-ING-MOR-ON!

At the start of a bilateral meeting with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar in the airport's presidential suite, Mr Trump said it was an "honour" to be in Ireland and that Brexit could be "very, very good for Ireland".

"I think that will all work out, it will all work out very well and also for you, with your wall, your border," he said.

"I mean we have a border situation in the United States. And you have one over here but I hear it's going to work out very well. I think it's both going to work out well, it's going to work out very well here."

Mr Varadkar told President Trump that Ireland wanted to avoid any wall or border with Northern Ireland post-Brexit.

Just has no fucking idea outside his own weird little coterie...

That stuff about Ireland's border is hilarious, in a black, end-of-the-world kind of way.

Nixon ran an Honor America Day. It was to support his Vietnam war. It turned into a riot.

Can we do that?

[Tero]

Hey Irish dude, how is your wall coming?

[Seabass]

The stupidity is just shocking. And 90% of Republican voters continue to support this beef brain. Holy fack. God and baby Jesus, how can this be happening...

There's good weather on both sides.

Team Trump keeps taking the climate conversation backwards

Trump described the conversation during an interview with Piers Morgan, who asked what Prince Charles said. “What he really wants and what he really feels warmly about is the future,” Trump responded. “He wants to make sure future generations have climate that is good climate as opposed to a disaster. And I agree.”

So far, so good.

But Trump then added, “I did say, well, the United States right now has among the cleanest climates there are, based on all statistics, and it’s even getting better. Because I agree with that. I want the best water, the cleanest water. Crystal clean, has to be crystal clean air.”

In other words, the president is clumsily trying to do what Andrew Wheeler has tried to do: confronted with a global environmental crisis, Trump and his team would prefer to change the subject to something more pleasant.
The problem, however, is that the president’s pitch is effectively incoherent. Asked about climate change, Trump talked about air and water quality. Obviously, air and water quality are important, but they’re also beside the point.

When Morgan tried to press Trump on whether he understands the most basic elements of the climate crisis, and whether the American president “accepts” the scientific consensus, the Republican replied, “I believe that there’s a change in weather, and I think it changes both ways.” Trump added that “climate change” used to be called “global warming” but “that wasn’t working.”

I'd nearly un-ignore him to read that.

Some kind soul might quote him for you to chortle at...

If he ever gets over his current snit and returns...

The above quote proves Trump is a climate denialist.

that “climate change” used to be called “global warming” but “that wasn’t working.”

This is a classic denialist line. Totally untrue of course. All you have to do is simply ask what the CC in IPCC stands for.

The Trump supporters here claim they are not denialists so why do they support denialism?

[Brian Peacock]

If fact 'climate change' was first adopted by denialist because 'global warming' was clearly too plain a description to argue with. It's harder to conflate and/or equivocate over 'climate' and 'weather' for example when considering the matter in a 'global' context.
