Trump meets with NY Times
“President-elect Donald Trump changed his tune on several topics – among them climate change and prosecuting Hillary Clinton – in statements Tuesday to The New York Times and on Twitter”. The organization has filed more than 20 lawsuits against the Obama administration over Clinton’s private email use.
But Trump told the Times he had a different view after speaking with retired Martine Corps.
Asked if he will condemn them, Trump said: “Of course I did”.
Trump, the president-elect I did not vote for, has apparently begun speaking out of the other side of his mouth.
“If I thought he was a racist or alt-right or any of the things, the terms we could use, I wouldn’t even think about hiring him”, he said.
He called out Eugene Sledge’s book “With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa”, (“you’ll find the spirit of the Marine Corps overcoming the most hard combat conditions”, he said), noting the list “requires you to do a lot of reading because there are many different styles of leadership”.
During one of his debate with Clinton, Trump told her: “If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation further”.
“I’m going to think about it”, he said in a “60 Minutes” interview, his first sit-down interview after the November 8 election.
Trump, who previously called man-made global warming a hoax, said: “I think there is some connectivity” between humans and climate change. “There is some, something”. It depends on how much.
While Trump did say he believes there’s “some connectivity” between humans and global warming, he expressed concern about how much climate regulations would hamper USA competitiveness. And he may no longer try to “cancel” the nation’s participation in the Paris climate change agreement, which almost 200 nations signed in 2015 to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Going after her, he added, is “just not something that I feel very strongly about”.
He also said he is keeping an “open mind” on the Paris climate accord. “No matter what he says, Trump’s 100 days plan and his proposed Cabinet appointees put climate denial front and center in his administration and put the planet and its people at risk”. But at least six Democratic electors are trying to deny Trump from winning an Electoral College majority in an attempt to block Trump and undermine the Electoral College’s legitimacy.
From a political standpoint, Trump’s decision could be mixed, said Gary Rose, chairman of the political science department at Sacred Heart University.
Mattis wrote that “the problem with being too busy to read is that you learn by experience (or by your men’s experience), i.e. the hard way”. I will tell you this: Clean air is vitally important. What’s more, Murphy said the Times hadn’t altered the parameters of their meeting.
