President Trump’s decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement was as much about money as the environment, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren told a San Francisco audience Thursday.

“This isn’t jobs versus the environment,” as Trump argued in his Rose Garden announcement Thursday, Warren said. “This is a big gift to Republican donors.”

For Warren, a former Harvard University law professor and a leader of the Democrats’ progressive wing, it’s the money that matters to the GOP majority in Congress.

Congress “used to filter things by asking if it helps working families,” Warren said. But now, with Republicans in charge, “every time it’s how can we help out corporate America.”

3. Trump is clueless either way - he just wants Repugs to like him now

“This isn’t jobs versus the environment,” as Trump argued in his Rose Garden announcement Thursday, Warren said. “This is a big gift to Republican donors.”

Yes it is and obviously the Kock brothers and Fux nooze are still controlling the narrative in feeble minds.
