Kaine: Trump is jealous of Obama


Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) says President Trump is "jealous" of former President Barack Obama's achievements.

"Why did Trump really walk away from #ParisAgreement?" Kaine tweeted on Friday. "He's surrounded by science deniers and fossil fuel junkies."

"POTUS jealous of Obama accomplishments," he added in another tweet. "But in the end, American innovative spirit is stronger than his insecurities."


Kaine added that, in light of Trump's Thursday decision to leave the Paris climate agreement, local governments and private businesses and researchers, rather than the Trump administration, would have to protect the environment.

"U.S. private sector, researchers, cities, towns and states will lead clean energy revolution despite lack of leadership from WH & President," the 2016 Democratic vice presidential nominee tweeted.

Is he will now forever be compared to Obama. And Obama will always be seen as better.

Trump will live with that for the rest of his life.

It's not just Trump. The entire party has no clue what to do other than the opposite of what Obama did.

Media and the Republican Party,are destroying Obama's Legacy in a way that never again,will there be a Person of Color to ocupy the White House.

EO everything President Obama did. It does not make trump a success, I might add every EO trump does can be reversed by the next president. Republicans have not been successful in passing a feasible health care bill, they do not have anything in the AHCA but a large tax cut to the wealthy.

this will make people realize how great the president he was, he will remembered as top 5 presidents of USA.

I hope to see him face to face on day and say "thank you" for making my 8 years pain less, that is one of my desires.

Trump is a whiny little man-baby. Obama is intelligent. Trump is an idiot. Obama commands respect. Trump is a laughingstock. I could go on, but I think everyone gets the gist. See photo below.
