Why is Trump looking for the deal to put America first when the deal is about the planet NOT America, therefore, should put the planet first?

I'm not even sure this is putting America first. I mean, these fossil fuels won't last forever anyway. Either we begin adapting now, or we leave it to later generations. Who's going to lead the world toward energy sustainability and independence? Looks like it's not the United States.

@Xuan12: China is. They just invested 900 billion dollars into developing, patenting, and selling environmentally friendly energy sources. They're creating jobs, saving the planet, and making bitchloads of money off of it, not to mention forming alliances left and right. The yanks are too fucking stupid to know what's good for them.

@BlueMetalChick:
True, she did win the popular vote, but technical vote count is not what is being disputed here.
Tindrummer's post wasn't about who the true winner of the pissing contest was that came of that election. His post was about the offense he had taken by your blanket use of the term "yanks", which is a derogatory term that carries an all-inclusive connotation, as if all Americans think alike, hence voted alike.

@BlueMetalChick:
I understand what you meant, but a few posts up, you stated "The yanks are too fucking stupid to know what's good for them".
Where the offense was taken, was that those American (yanks) who did not agree with decisions that were made, were painted with the same brush as those Americans who DID agree with Presidential decisions that were made. I think in this case, it may have been more prudent to separate who you were really referring to, be it Democrats or Republicans.
When you said "yanks", that one word implies that Dems and Repubs and all other factions in-between, are of the same camp, hence collectively held responsible (in your view) for being a collection of stupid people residing within one nation.

@BlueMetalChick: Yeah, most people actually didn't vote for him.
