Is Trump conrolled by the fossil fuel lobby?

The rest of the G20 (all 19 others) rebuke Trump and continue with the Paris deal.

The Paris deal itself is nowhere near strong enough but is at least a step forward. The lobbyists and neo-con pacs who are 'informing' Trump will have none of it though because it threatens their bottom line. Oligarchic cowboy capitalism is killing the planet and Trump is their figurehead.

He's controlled by Putin and Putin likes oil

@lorne13 Not really. I do believe that Russia was involved in the hacking. We have yet to see evidence but that Trump has been briefed about Russian involvement and forced to admit so, + the Comey sacking indicate its more than likely.

Russia did want Trump to win because he would be more friendly than Hillary. I don't believe Putin has direct control over Trump though. Its hard to see how and America is a much more powerful country.

@Burnley123 the US likes to brag about being powerful but I believe their economy is weak and clearly based on borrowed money

@lorne13 The economy is propped up by borrowed money and the country is arguably in decline. Russia has it ten times worse though.
