In 2017, volcanic diplomatic outrage erupted when Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the Paris climate accord.

Eight years later, there was no explosion when he did it again.

How can he pull out of a deal signed by Congress? What happened to separation of powers? Checks and balances? No?

That ship has sailed. Dick Cheney had our signature removed from the ICC treaty so we could do war crimes after 9/11.

The thing to know about Politico when reading this story suggesting a lack of diplomatic outrage is that their CEO urged top executives to pray for Trump's re-election.

That’s because we now know he’s a moron

Removing us from the Paris climate Accord does not stop the fact that we are now under climate change you don't see 10 in of snow in Louisiana for the first time in American history for nothing

Nothing he does shocks or surprises anyone these days. The novelty of his absurd extremism has worn off. Now what he does is just normal behavior.

But that doesn't mean power brokers aren't quietly plotting.

Because we knew this is what he does and we become a joke if a dem is in office we care if a Rep is in office we dont

I think everyone is wiping their hands of the USA as a lost cause for the next four years at least.

I think the UK and France are following. Fascism is on the march

Because the world at large has given up on the territories formerly known as America.

Now we are more focused on staying safe from trump's imperial ambitions.

Nobody did anything when he did it the first time!

The world will never trust the US again.
Nor should it.

We (or those that voted for Trump) failed the whole world and all the creatures in it. And these people think they’re pro life.

Everyone expected it.

Returning russia to the stone age might help the US to balance its carbon budget, though. 🤭

What a crock! There is indeed outrage, even if your writers are afraid to speak up.

Abituati forse

They knew it was happening again if trump got elected. When we rejoined, internet commentary can be distilled to a collective eye roll from the rest of the world. We can’t be trusted to be the leader of the free world any longer. We have failed the international community, just as expected.

They all saw therapists who told them not to give the narcissist the attention he desires? Maybe if we turn the cameras off and ignore him for awhile he’ll love bomb us with some human rights.

They should eliminate his picture and all audio of his voice for all reporting. Instead of seeing his face and hearing his voice, let's see and hear the victims of his insane policies.
