Why It’s Dangerous Trump Thinks He Knows A Lot About The Environment | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC

  1. Trump: ” I’m an environmentalist…a lot of people don’t understand that.”
    Well he was right about the 2nd part of that statement.

  2. Trump just wants to build a resort in the Amazon jungle. “Let it burn” I’m sure is what hes thinking

    1. He’s thinking of all the MONEY to be made from Oil, Gas and Minerals, once that Useless forest is out of the way, same thing he thought about the devastated land in California!

    2. @a. barker Trump’s “Advice” isn’t worth the toilet paper stuck to his shoe!
      His IQ is somewhere between 65-75 and that speaks for itself!

    3. @Dmitri Fukov Multiple fires were started simultaneously, the government routinely used “Slash/Burn” policy until it was outlawed. The G6 know about this dangerous tactic; burning down villages for cattle ranchers/agribusiness; is greed, not nature.

    1. the truth is there for everybody to see (by definition) , demanding to be told the truth is part of your evergrowing incompetence …..

    2. Who is going to give you the ‘truth’? You have been lied to for so long, it is doubtful that you know the truth.

  3. How embarrassing. He skipped the summit meeting on climate change while claiming he had a meeting with two people that went to the summit meeting.

    1. ​ DAYBROK3 The time is getting closer to when he goes to a military tribunal…should be a new holiday when traitors HRC, Hussein, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Strzok, MCCabe, Ohr, Yates, Mills, Huma, Podesta, and the rest of the seditious treasonists get hanged

  4. At some point in time, Trump has stated that he knows more about war, steaks, casinos, healthcare, trade wars, technology, and now he claims he knows more about the environment than anyone else. So far, the one thing we know for sure, that Trump knows about more than anyone else, it’s lying.

    1. @derry667dingo well, he just blurted ANOTHER lie. I grew up in France. I remember goblets, lovely in the afternoon light. Delicious, too. I think you are dead right.

    2. He’s also in France. Remember he knew how to put out the Notre Dame fire with water bombers? Might have flattened the cathedral, but it would have put the fire out….
      Not many people know this, but Trump knows a lot about fires after helping out the first responders on 9/11…. SMH…

  5. Good job right wingers for picking the most corrupt, dishonest, divorced from reality and bigoted person you could find! You really triggered the libs good!

  6. Trump has got to go…the USA needs a President that looks to the present and future for clean Green Energy. and a President that can understand it’s a Global Economy.

    1. you have said all that needs to be america needs a president not unlike his acting appointments most that will be gone by the end of him

    1. How about all of you stop driving cars? Turn the electricity off in your house and stfu you hypocrites😂😂😂

  7. I am a leading expert on pretty much everything. In spite of that I can barely answer any questions put to me and I just string a few statements together that sound ‘good’. Anyone who disagrees with me is wrong, part of the ‘fake news’, an enemy of the people……Why is anyone taking this lying oaf seriously?

  8. The only thing Trump “knows more about than any other people” is psychosis, although he’s clueless about his own.

    1. Donald J. Trump is a Malignant Narcissistic Sociopath really believes he is smarter than everyone and when he says “I and I alone can fix it” – he really believes it!

    2. @Nancy Stowell You got it, Nancy. Handing this guy the reins of power was a huge mistake we, and the rest of the world, will very much regret. Take care.

  9. If he wants a clean, wealthy, “spectacular” country, then he should resign from office TODAY.

    1. Julie Purpleskater And let who take his place? A democrat to suddenly take the White House? Please, y’all can’t even decide what crime your going to charge him with while dismissing others that do it right in your face, ahem media. I can surely support my claims. Can you

    1. He should take his rake and get there as fast as he can. He can’t get there fast enough. I’m sure Nancy Pelosi will he make the arrangements. Hurry up Trump do your duty!!!

    2. @Marni Miller ‘Cause he “…knows all about science/the environment”… “We have the cleanest.. air/best water…” a lot of fracking/drilling for oil/big beautiful pipelines! “America’s really rich ’cause of me”! We don’t need health care, a coffin just fine!

  10. Oh my God, world, the people of America apologize for this orange, clueless buffoon. We promise to make it right in 2020.

    1. I feel so bad for those of you in the US that didn’t vote for this mongrel president. Truth, honesty and integrity has to prevail. Please do right by the planet and get rid of him.

    2. @aquelpibe Please note, the majority didn’t vote for Trump! The DNC was hacked Putin /Wikileaks/Cambridge Analytical all helped Trump win the electoral college. Our election process is deeply flawed; reforms are required once the corrupt are removed from office.
