Well, true. I just refuse to get my hopes up until corroborated better.

Apparently Trump told the Europeans he wanted to stay and they leaked it to box him in. The master negotiator at work.

Good for them, and good for him to want to stay in.

Leaking anything related to Politics should be against international law, punishable by a minimum sentence of a year in prison.

Well, he could still end up doing more to fight climate change than Justin Trudeau.

We're in agreement. Trudeau sucks.

But no, Trump and his policies will do far more long lasting damage to the environment.

President Trump (D-NY), on the stump in 2020:

"We have to build a wall, and we have to build it now. They're so stupid! Our leaders just let it happen. When the South sends its people - and believe me, I know Southerners, I have many Southern friends, and they're all calling me saying, 'Donald, something has to be done, we have to figure out what is going on down there'. If we were to cross the Ohio River trying to shove our beliefs down their throats, what do you think would happen? Yet we're letting them invade with their Bibles and Baptist Law, and their fried food and their tacky words - and last time I checked, this is America, and we speak ENGLISH - they'd hang us from the tree! They'd hang us from the tree.

I'll bring back Reconstruction, and I'll bring a hell of a lot worse than Reconstruction, believe me. And it's not just the idiots you have to take out of there. You have to take out their families, you have to take out their families to shop somewhere other than Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart! Did you see it yesterday? Right? The other day, Wal-Mart opened another store in the South. I'll never shop at a Wal-Mart again, never, ever!"

Well, true. I just refuse to get my hopes up until corroborated better.

While I'm not getting my hopes up either,  just remember that things that come out of Trump's mouth - directly or indirectly - mean nothing. They are utterly devoid of meaning. Just ignore everything coming from Trump or the White House and you'll be better informed.

If this is true, then clearly John Kelly is doing a stellar job.  Bannon got Trump to withdraw from the PCA in the first place.

When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Won't believe it until I see it.

It's not "treason." For the sake of Americans, which is who he needs to think about, I hope he pushes for amnesty and really does stay in the climate agreement.

I'm... honestly not sure if you are being serious here or not.
