'Earth to Trump: F**K YOU! President's Paris Climate Pact Withdrawal Inspires Amazing Headlines

BY JASON LE MIERE ON 6/2/17 AT 10:49 AM

In announcing that he was withdrawing the United States from the Paris climate change accord, President Donald Trump said the deal would have allowed the rest of the world to have a laugh at the expense of the United States.

“We don't want other leaders and other countries laughing at us anymore, and they won't be.” he said from the White House Rose Garden as he confirmed that the U.S. would join Nicaragua and Syria as the only countries not to be part of the pact.

Whether or not people were laughing at the U.S. before, there has been plenty of mocking of the American president since his decision. World leaders have generally kept a respectful if critical tone, although French President Emmanuel Macron, he of the robust handshake, did take a shot at Trump’s famed slogan, saying, “Make our planet great again.”






“America First! Earth Last!” read the headline on its front page.




And the magazine came out with another cover Friday, making use of the president's famed catchphrase from his reality show, The Apprentice.







In Spain, headline writers pulled no punches in their assessment. “Trump,” said Barcelona-based ARA, “Against the Planet.”

world.

They have the mindset of 10 yr olds who are mad at the neighbor kid for showing them up on something.

This is a win, win, win for Trump and friends. You see, they dont care if the planet is destroyed, or we lose millions of jobs.
