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.

Politicians are generally actors.. not the directors. The directors stay out of the public eye for good reason. Politicians are a firewall that protect their owners from liability and punishment. If you believe the news you get your info from you're feelings and your world view isn't your own. It's been manufactured over time to create consensus and drive policy that primary benefits the ruling class.
