He tweaks the left... and they absolutely fall for it every time. Amazing.

You don't think he actually believes it or should people give him a pass when he lies or shows he doesn't know what he is talking about?

He's skeptical like many others and has a right to share his views. He trolls - most will/should ignore it but many take it hook, line, and sinker. I happen to believe in climate change - I just don't believe there is anything that we can do to change it.

How do you ignore it when it's coming from the President?

I don't see the coverage of Trump as being that negative by the way. His behavior is almost universally offensive. They're just reporting what he says and does.

I’m sure you don’t.

He deserves some more negative coverage than others because as you said, he’s offensive and obnoxious. But the media has taken it way beyond what he deserves. The only time the media even talks about the economy is to complain about income inequality. In a fair world, he gets a lot of negative coverage. Not this much. The media cannot be fair to him, they are too crazy and biased.

Most of his negative coverage is engineered by design. Trump loves it.

And I see plenty of positive coverage on the economy in the mainstream media.

Of course he can share his opinion but when like 99% of scientists believe something most people tend to believe them.

Nice quality for a President - trolling.

Remember for Trump this is just a reality TV show. As long as the ratings are good he's happy.

his statements don't surprise me at all after what I have read for over a year now, I don't see how they can surprise anyone. Get a pass? with the criticism he has taken, no , that is not going to happen, every word, every golf swing, everything is scrutinized. I get the feeling he does not care if only a small percentage of people take him seriously. If you don't believe that there is actual global warming, then you are not paying attention. Carbon dioxide levels alone cannot be refuted.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
