Trump, Clinton, global warming and so forth

How long has Trump been president? I know he's a monster. I've hated him for as long as I've known of his existence. But since he's been elected, it's only been in the last couple of weeks that I've stopped seeing criticism of Trump as support for Hillary Clinton.

This may be the result of being forced to listen to hours and hours of MSNBC. With them, it probably is nothing but support for Clinton. They hate Sanders (now the most popular politician in the country) even though he campaigned for Clinton (who is now even less popular than Trump). All they do is drone on about Russia because it lets them attack Trump without opposing his policies or being in any way progressive.

Clinton was and is horrible. She may have been the lesser evil, but it's hard to tell. Her only campaign promise was to parlay the war in Syria into World War Three. On global warming, Trump still doesn't believe in it, or he pretends not to, and is doing all he can to accelerate it. But he did end the Trans Pacific Partnership that would have made it impossible for countries to impose new regulations that might slow it down.

Who do you think is adding more CO2 to the atmosphere, North or South Korea? Living standards in North Korea are probably the best we can hope for without wrecking the planet. We should be on their side.

I sit around with my family and their friends. They talk about how terrible global warming is and how much worse it will get, but then they put down Russia for not being richer and they ridicule Communist countries for not emitting enough carbon gases. They think they're doing their part because one of them has a Prius, but then talk about all the places travel by air.
