So Trump probably told some European official that they would talk about it, not realizing that when you say that to a political official it usually means you officially intend to talk about it.

Maybe he really did just find out Cat 5 hurricanes exist
Yeah, and staying with the Paris accord isn't automatically a good thing either. It could just mean he wants a seat at the table to make things harder for others who actually want to do good. If he left the table he wouldn't have an influence.

Im curious to see the mental gymnastics they use to blame this on Ryan and McConnel.

Didn't he turn back on that DACA deal with Pelosi? Last thing I heard was that he was back to saying he wanted the wall.

The Globalists will not control us! But folks, this is a good deal. There were very bad hurricanes and it will get worse! Worth it?

Joke's on him, though. Undoing the messes he himself created won't make us like him any more and will only reaffirm our stance that he's a fool who doesn't know what he's doing. Plus, he loses his base this way... outside of the ones who will do mental gymnastics to pretend this is what they wanted all along.
Whatever gets him closer to impeachment suits me just fine.
I'll be honest, when I saw the recent news about him not knowing hurricanes can go up to 5 I said to myself
"Now he's probably thinking to himself ""if that was cat.5 imagine what a 6, or 7 or 8 would look like!!! It would be the day after tomorrow all over again! That's bad! Very bad!""
Yep trump, that's what climate change looks like

Probably trying to win brownie points on the left so that he can feel that he's "liked" again.

They are just gonna pretend that withdrawing was a negotiation tactic and he just got the US a MUCH better deal. Nevermind that there was no "deal" to be made since this was more or less voluntary.

Nah. Trump's just an idiotic and easy to manipulate child.
He has no principles. Just wants to be liked. It was basically impossible for him to be liked doing right wing shit. Now he's trying elsewhere.
We know it's the latter. There's no question.
Trump is a Monster. No one should believe he wants to do any genuine act of good will or that it actually comes from the goodness of his heart.
Trump only wants people to love him. He realized that doing this stuff is getting people to say nice things about him on the left and right cable networks (I don't think Fox news will ever really turn against him) so he keeps doing more.

Omg this is hilarious if true.
maybe he actually genuinely believed climate change was a hoax by the chinese
and after seeing its effects he realized "wait a second... i don't think the chinese are behind these off-the-charts hurricanes in the atlantic ocean"

This administration is so incompetent it seems like news agencies/angry WH staffers are leaking out reversals on all of Trump's shitty policies in hopes that he somehow forgets what his stance was and switches it after seeing some positive press. It's pathetic that it seems like that is the only thing that can get through his thick, stupid, hateful mind.

Im pretty much of the belief he will go with whatever because he wants people talking positive about him. He doesnt give a fuck about party lines, he only cares about his ratings.

Turns out the key to being a successful president is just to say you are going to do a bunch of things and then just do none of it.

Aaaaaand there it is. I thought he might be smart enough to try and win some sympathy by changing his stance after the hurricanes but nope. Still not trying to hide the fact that he is a giant orange sack of puke.

Don't trust the White House to know this. There may not be an official change yet.
WH said there was no deal about immigration too and then Trump said the wall was still being funded, it's just the wall is now routine repairs.
