Donald Trump just cemented his legacy as America’s worst-ever president

Whose and what criteria is being used to rate Trump as a president or is someone just blowing smoke out their ass?
Oranges and apples- Trump is merely expressing his own opinion, not taking it upon himself to interpret everyone else's opinion.
Utter nonsense. Green energy in Canada and the US created far more jobs in the last decade than oil and coal. Get with the program. Someone has to built all those wind and solar generators.
Green energy sector jobs surpass total oil sands employment

They are self perpetuating by virtue of the american war actions. Look how Iraq introversion turned out. The REALITY IS that there is a LOT of world anger at theUS much of it centered in the ME. Except S. Arabia ..
Something America does not do enough of is some serious introspection and realize that it has some serious character flaws.Most of the civilized world realizes the importance of humility. America is too egotistical and arrogant for that ...
The problem lies with the insurgents, Al qaida and the Taliban much more than with the U.S.
friken Bar and his fake BULLSHevick news
LOL
Your stupid citation left out all the people in fossil fuel - it says approx 180,000 employed in fossil fuels, but the reality is:
"The Fossil Fuel Industry May Not Help the Planet, But It Employs Millions
Even using those restricted criteria, the fossil fuel business employed over 2 million people in America alone"

...while more senior creditors, including the Department of Energy, which provided a $ 535 million loan guarantee to Solyndra, will receive nearly nothing...

Thanks oh bomber!
Lets look at a green economy shall we:

Debunking the conbot myth.
Is the Paris Accord Unfair to America?
We all know one way to divide a pie: give everyone an equal slice. For the atmosphere, that would mean calculating what quantity of greenhouse gases the world as a whole can safely emit up to a given date, and dividing that by the current population of the world. That yields everyone’s per capita share of the atmosphere’s capacity to absorb our greenhouse gases, up to the selected date.
But the world is divided into sovereign states, not individuals, and there is no way to assess each individual’s greenhouse-gas emissions. So we need to move to allocations for each country. To do this consistently with “equal shares,” we need to multiply the per capita share by the country’s population to reach its emissions quota.
By this standard, was the Paris accord unfair to the US? Hardly. The US currently has less than 5% of the world’s population, but emits nearly 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. If fairness means that everyone’s slice of pie should be the same size, it is the US that is being unfair, by grabbing a slice that is three times bigger than it should have.
A different principle of fairness arises if we consider greenhouse gases as pollution, and apply the principle that whoever caused the pollution should pay to clean it up. The reason that climate change is a problem now is that over the past two centuries, some countries have been putting large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
No country has emitted more greenhouse gases over this period than the US. That is a reason to require the US to make deeper cuts now than other countries must make, especially given that the US is continuing to emit greenhouse gases at a much higher per capita rate than other large emitters, such as China and India. If the older industrialized countries caused the problem, it seems reasonable to ask them to do the most to fix it.

You do realize it takes 4 years right?
Right?
:lol:
Doesn't need to be.
No ISIS was not created by any vaccuum they were created by American tax dollars and gifts of weapons and training distributed by among others Americans with the assigned purpose of doing exactly what they are doing, murder and mayhem. These are western implaneted mercenary armies under the control and command of western powers. Any other explanation is baseless.
I'll also add that Obama did not pull out of Iraq, it just changed the weaponized lineup.
