    'Potential' ?! I think his potential has been fully realised.

    That's defeatist talk.

    I fear otherwise, unfortunately.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    You need to replace biased with "fake news". And add in a random reference to Russia.

    Him attacking the fake news media by denying something that no one has said - that sounds real enough.

    He didn't half put his foot in it in Israel as regards to the security breach and Geographical short falls:

    John Irvine said "If there is no disasters then this visit will be described as a success" !!

    I suppose that Trump has now set the common denominator: If he doesn't f*ck up, it's a good thing.

    He's been very disappointing so far.

    I guess it's like when sitcoms go to Spain for a special episode - it never really works. He's just funnier in the White House.

    Barging Nato members both metaphorically and literally today. Kudos.

    Thought the speech he gave was surprisingly good other than the 'losers' bit. It was almost as though it was professionally written, he read it but then felt he had to put his own mark on it.

    No-one bothered by his withdrawal from the Paris Treaty then or just resigned to his stupidity and hoping the impeachment comes sooner rather than later?

    No doubt his disciples will be chuffed that they've given it to the man right up until the sea water is coming in their front doors!

    You have to admire him for sticking with his guns rather than folding too easy. That's what we need with Brexit. I wonder how much diesel, plastic pollution is created by China shipping all that sh1t around the world, which we all willingly consume!?

    I don't see how people can be moralist when they are complicit.

    And yet China are still committed to trying to do something about it, only the US, Syria and Nicaragua aren't at least paying it lip service.

    Meanwhile they are the ones knocking out all the useless sh1t we buy which ends up in land fill within six months. Nobody wants to bring that up as it's cheap.

    I like Trump he's not worried about what people think in a PR bullsh1t world. He does want he thinks is right for his electorate & country. Trumps not a man to do what's easy.

    Given your previous two posts, are you sure you've understood that headline?

    The world is starting to move away from fossil fuels to renewables and China has clearly decided it wants to lead that. The idiocy of Trump's move is that the US will be left behind and his decision will have the opposite of the intended effect.

    California said they would continue to try to reduce Carbon emissions, same as a few other states.
    We see with Trump the clear split between different Americans. I'm just wondering if, the longer Trump stays in power, he is sowing the seeds of the break up of the Union.
    For example, California will be at total odds with say West Virginia in terms of the environment. One will feel it an economic necessity to mine coal and the other will see their Carbon reduction as a global statement of intent and after all, California could be almost totally self sufficient. What reason would California have to stay in a Union of such diverse political and cultural diversity when the diversity is not mutually conducive?

    America is a young country, is it pre-pubescent or is it into the roller coaster teens?

    It's a good point. I think many countries have this disparity. I guess Trump is helping a state which is less affluent and who voted for him (Pittsburg). That's democracy in action. California can wait till next election.

    Trump does what is best for his rich cronie business friends and family. This deal isn't about coal, it's about allowing big business to save money on waste products.

    But... the mayor of Pittsburgh said that the Paris agreement is good for American business. They are also manufacturing solar panels there as modern technological production takes over the old.
