Wow, even the brain dead, brown nosers at FOX don't agree

with the Liar in Chief's decision to opt out of the Paris Accord, as per this article, just released.



First and foremost, withdrawing from the Paris Agreement is the wrong move.
As a dealmaker, President Trump may very well have been able to renegotiate within the parameters of the Agreement, but to be clear, withdrawing from the Paris Agreement isolates the United States and only threatens our most important national interests.
Trump’s move to withdraw of course also comes after his week abroad in Europe, where the President of the United States unmistakably failed to endorse Article 5 of the NATO treaty, unfortunately leaving our generations-old allies to question America’s commitments.
I reference the NATO treaty here, a hallmark of our post-war global order, alongside the Paris Agreement because the two treaties share an essential detail:
That is, they both were designed to uniquely communicate to our allies that, regardless of transitions of power between US administrations, America keeps her word.
Unfortunately, Trump’s likely move to withdraw does much to threaten the integrity of our international commitments.
R. Nicholas Burns, a former Under Secretary of State in the administration of George W. Bush, has stated that, in terms of leaving the Agreement, “I can’t think of anything more destructive to our credibility.”
