(23,957 posts)For years, the deniers have been shopping this wacky idea that climatologists are creating a climate change hoax to gin up lucrative government research grants. Never mind that the money they'd get from shilling for the petrol industry dwarfs anything they could possibly get from the government, these greedy university bastards are in it for the money so don't trust 'em!
IMHO, Trump's China conspiracy theory is a step up from this. Still ridiculous, but at least there's a motive that could be plausible if you're a racist xenophobic climate-denying douchebag.

I watched the last season of Celebrity Apprentice only because George Takei was on it. Soon as he was eliminated, I quit the show and will likely never watch his shit again.

Trump is not this sage of a businessman. He's a buffoon with a lot of money in his pocket and a rodent on his head.
