*****SCOOP***** Scoop: Trump tells confidants U.S. will quit Paris climate deal

President Trump has privately told multiple people, including EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, that he plans to leave the Paris agreement on climate change, according to three sources with direct knowledge.

Publicly, Trump's position is that he has not made up his mind and when we asked the White House about these private comments, Director of Strategic Communications Hope Hicks said, "I think his tweet was clear. He will make a decision this week."

I wonder if the Pope will tweet a general comment about climate change soon.

Our (former) allies should know what time it is after that crapfest of a trip.

A minority of Americans support him (of course, in Republicanism this is known as "a mandate&quot .

Then he celebrates it! This guy is an utter moron.

Perhaps Boris E. passed the number and the off shore account info to Vlad on Jared's behalf given that he apparently doesn't have a desk in the Russian embassy yet.
