Before withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, Trump called a Fox News host for advice

Plus those idiots LOVE to see programs cut and GUT so their favorite RICH person can get that cash in the way of a 1%er tax cut. Meanwhile they get laid off or work for years without a cent in a raise. But...they LOVE it!

Investing in countries we have taken advantage of over centuries or who are unable to afford the infrastructure we have denied them seems only reasonable to help them reach global climate goals.... or is their lack of financial status just a mind set on their part where pulling of the proverbial bootstraps is all that's needed? The hell with bootstraps. We need to get this done.
