Turns out Trump is a globalist puppet after all. All of you morons cheering Trump’s latest move to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement was ordered and desired by the wealthy Koch brothers, the shadow leaders of the Republican party. While this is a good move to pull out of Paris Climate Agreement, it is not good that Trump is a scumbag puppet who abandoned ALL of his campaign promises except for just 3: pull out of Paris, force NATO to pay more money and create more jobs. Yeah right! It’s all good and all but what about the rest? What about his God damn core promises? When he first announced in June 2015 he didn’t make a furor out of announcing more NATO payments. NO! He announced that he will build a wall and deport all Mexicans. Well the deportations never happened and never will and the wall is now just “rhetorical” according to Trump!
Then he created another furor which enforced his voter base when he announced complete and total shut down of Muslims entering the US. He continued with furors after furors such as prosecuting the Clintons, yet he abandoned everything. Had he not said these things he wouldn’t have been the president today. So Americans and even foreigners who supported him and helped him win, such as us, the EUTimes, must hold this fat lying sack of filth accountable now. If you people actually want something accomplished, we must start bashing this man for not holding his promises and maybe he will change but if you cheer every little meaningless little fart he does such as making NATO pay more, then its over, we all got suckered by this con-man and his Koch leaders!
Trump’s highly controversial decision to leave the Paris Climate Agreement was well-telegraphed throughout his campaign, but speculation that his one-time detractors the billionaire business mogul Koch brothers were behind the decision is gaining momentum.
“What’s happening behind here is real politics. This is the victory paid and carried out for 20 years by two people: David and Charles Koch. That’s what this is about,” Columbia University professor and Director of the Earth Institute Jeffrey Sachs said in an interview with Bloomberg.
Sachs placed the blame for Trump’s decision squarely on the Koch brothers’ shoulders, claiming: “They have bought and purchased the top of the Republican party… Trump is a tool in this.”
Koch Industries and its subsidiaries are a sprawling conglomerate that comprises everything from chemicals and plastics manufacturing to energy products such as natural gas and petroleum and even fertilizer and ranching, all of which are highly polluting industries that would greatly benefit from decreased regulation and government interference.
Sachs also referenced a recent letter by Republican senators to Trump, thanking him for rolling back regulations through a series of executive orders and throwing their support behind his stance on climate change.
Sachs is not alone in this stance, with prominent Democratic senators expressing similar sentiments online.
Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a member of the Senate Environment Committee, pulled no punches in calling out the Koch brothers and their propaganda network in a statement posted on Twitter.

While not alluding directly to the Koch brothers, Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy echoed Whitehouse’s sentiments.

While the Koch brothers did not vocally support Trump on the election trail, it appears they have made their peace with the controversial president and his pro-business policies.
“We’re principled, and if we can’t get comfortable with the policies that are in place, then we’re not going to support them,” Mark Holden, Koch Industries’s top lawyer, said previously as cited by the Washington Post.
Koch Industries is the second-largest privately held company by revenue in the US, according to Forbes, and reportedly spent almost $900 million during the 2016 US presidential race through a variety of canvassing campaigns for a number of candidates.
US Vice President Mike Pence, Environmental Protection Agency leader Scott Pruitt, and Marc Short, the Trump’s director of legislative affairs, all have ties to the Koch network, the Independent reports.
While billionaires throwing money behind their preferred presidential candidates is nothing new, what stands out in this instance is that the Koch brothers’ sphere of influence extends far enough into another billionaire’s domain.
Indeed, energy mogul and former billionaire T. Boone Pickens, a self-professed believer in climate change, applauded Trump for withdrawing from the Paris agreement.
“The Paris Climate Accord is another bad deal negotiated by the Obama administration and America should applaud President Trump’s decision to exit,” Pickens said in a statement published on his website.
While on face value, Trump’s decision may appear to be borderline nihilistic to his critics, including a swathe of tech industry giants and former advisors who have jumped ship in the immediate aftermath, some suggest he may actually be setting up a bigger win in future.
In an Op-Ed piece published by Business Insider, Matthew De Bord suggests that Trump may be opening the door for the introduction of a carbon tax, a major goal of former advisor and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and an idea Trump’s current secretary of state and former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson has previously endorsed.
Time will tell how the climate agreement fiasco ultimately plays out, but Dan Merica rightly pointed out that, either way, this may ultimately end up a non-issue.
Trump, per a source, will follow the 4-yr rule to get out of Paris, meaning the US will leave on Nov 4, 2020.

So to all of you Trump obsessed freaks out there, try and think about this. Why did you support Trump in the first place? Did you vote for Trump just because he was Trump or for his promises and ideas? This man has given birth to a cult of personality. People have forgotten that they elected him for his promises but now that he ditched all of his promises, why continue to support him? This guy is worse than Hillary and worse than Obama. With those 2 at least you know you were getting the enemy but Trump…. he deceived us all!

Trump is doing what he can while being constantly barraged with the BULLSHIT from the left.
whiny little snowflakes that want to stir the shit pot but won’t lick the spoon….
Quote: “This guy is worse than Hillary and worse than Obama.”
If you actually believe that, then you really need to seek professional psychiatric help. And one more thing, everyone who reads this trash needs to remember to vote or rate this story. And I do have one question for the author. What color mask do you wear when you join your antifa buddies on your anti-Trump marches/protests?
Looks like the EU Times is as Fake News as CNN! What a crock of Bullshit!
Hey turd burger you sound like a typical democrap flack. The Kochs did all they could to stop Trump and now you lying sack of manure, you sound like all the other left wing shills. Go screw yourself.
Have I stumbled upon Buzzfeed?
These points are leftoid narrative tier. Breaking the Paris accords means that some people will be poorer (those who invested/created the climate change investment ‘bubble’) while those that have not gone with it have benefited it.
