Trump just cemented his legacy as Americas worst-ever president

Trump just cemented his legacy as America’s worst-ever president
Trump is doing his best to ruin the world for our children and grandchildren
Dana Nuccitelli Thursday 1 June 2017 15.42 EDT

In an inexplicable abdication of any semblance of responsibility or leadership, Donald Trump has announced that he will begin the process to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate treaty, joining Nicaragua and Syria as the only world countries rejecting the agreement. It now seems inevitable that the history books will view Trump as America’s worst-ever president.



However, withdrawing from the Paris treaty is an important symbolic move – a middle finger to the rest of the world, and to future generations. America is by far the largest historical contributor to climate change. Ironically, on the heels of Trump’s claim that most NATO members aren’t paying their fair share to the organization, America has announced that we won’t do our fair share to curb the climate change threats that we are the most responsible for.

The Rotting Republican Party

And the GOP has become the Party of Trump. His decision was reinforced by a letter from 22 Republican senators urging withdrawal from the Paris climate treaty. Those senators have coincidentally received over $10m in donations from the fossil fuel industry over the past five years.

There was never any hope this shitbag would even be a mediocre president, because he's been nothing but a selfish, ignorant asshole for the nearly 71 years he's been contaminating this planet. He's never done a single good thing for another human being where he himself didn't personally benefit and he completely lacks any ability to learn and evolve.

The credibility and prestige of the office was turned into a joke the day this scummy lowlife was sworn into it. It will never be the same again.
