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.

hi Burnley123
"...... to penetrate the corporate misinformation machine is to enter a world of mirrors. Spend too long trying to understand it, and the hyporeality vortex will inflict serious damage on your state of mind."
Frightening.

@sogdianrock @sogdianrock Some of it is quite simple and blatant though. Read the Monbiot article above. They want us to be confused and give up looking.

hi Burnley123
the quote was from the article . It was what I took from it as summing it up for me. I question the capacity of electors to penetrate such a fog of deception. Hence it is frightening. Politics puts people off and that is Trump's main tactic I think.
Good question btw.
Best wishes
