> "that have cost their country's fortunes and given those same countries no chance for success." This is a weird statement coming from Trump. I wouldn't think his base would care for improving the lives and economies of other countries, specially undeveloped countries. | ||

He frequently has campaign rallies and press conferences where he makes statements on both sides of the issue, though if the audience is limited he will tailor the message so only the side present hears the argument in their favor. Every post speech interview I've seen and heard from Trump supporters discount every thing he says that they personally disagree with and heartily approve everything he says that they agree with. Somehow he has insulated his own actions/words and his supporters, and it makes it difficult to reason with these supporters when you bring it up to them - it's quite uncanny. | ||

I mean, he's saying everyone else who tried to do something about climate change had bad results, so let's do nothing and we'll be better off. Doesn't seem weird to say that if you want to do nothing. | ||
