People said I didn't accomplish anything on climate change during my two terms as president. Not true. That is a blatant falsehood. At the very end of my second term I signed the Paris Agreement. It had no enforcement mechanisms but it appeared to do something and it allowed me to burnish my climate change credentials. I'm all about creating a false impression to improve my all-important scam legacy.

Now that we're facing climate chaos I'm partnering with The Fully Autonomous Kill-Confirm Turrets Company. The Fact Company will secure our borders and more importantly - it'll put at least a dozen million dollars into my pocket. Win-win - I say.

I was extraordinarily proud of the Paris Accords because, look I know we’re in oil country and we need American energy. And by the way, American energy production, you wouldn’t always know it, but it went up every year I was president. And you know that whole suddenly America’s like the biggest oil producer … that was me, people.

I truly hate him so much. Hot take, Obama did more to doom us than Trump did. Trump is a symptom, Obama was the cause.

Eh, the rot had set in long before Obama, Clinton's inability to reverse Reagan's policy program ensured a Trump would eventually appear.

I think it’s the way he fucking brags about it. Clinton doesn’t go out all the time talking about how proud he is of how he doomed us all. Or if he does I don’t see it as often. Obama hasn’t been president in 8 years and I still constantly see him, always so full of himself and bragging about putting those final nails in our collective coffin.
