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

KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE (CO-HOST): I don't think this is a deal that anybody should be crying about. Like we said, it's nonbinding, and the United States is already a clean energy, oil and gas leader. So, we can keep doing what we're doing, we can keep reducing our emissions. Why would we in fact put ourselves at an economic disadvantage, giving and subsidizing an economic windfall to other countries, in sort of a climate redistribution of wealth scheme? It makes no sense to me.

I think he did the brave and courageous thing, and in fact, I told him that this morning at 8AM, when he called. And I spoke to him about it, and this was something very much so on his mind, but he seemed like--

GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): Wait a second, who called you?

GUILFOYLE: The president.

1. More logic to be found on a cereal box

Yes we were a leader; our commitment and membership was for the world to see and as an anchor for world action. Now China and Germany get that prestige and power.

These people are morons.

2. Gosh...FOX em..."News" is the Trump admin advisor now??

Had to see how it would play with the knuckle draggers who watch FOX?? HELL YES they'd want you out,they don't give a crap about climate change.

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!

9. Jeezus - This scares and disgusts me on so many levels

Calling a Fox bimbo for advice - Intelligence agencies, the Pentagon, experts up the ass AND HE CALLS A FOX AIRHEAD.

Shaddup, Kimberly. Please.

15. Where was this non-binding agreement costing the US any money?

[defacto7]

16. And... what's wrong with some wealth distribution anyway?

Only those who hoard it or dream of hoarding it can answer that.
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.

[Sugar Smack]

17. Really? Did he leak anything juicy in your ear?

OK, that was disgusting. I forgot myself.
