"Trump is so bad he's good" is a tired take at this point. Polling shows that the Russian story is basically resonating with Democrats, but not doing much on the other side of the aisle (granted, Republicans stayed with Nixon up until almost-impeachment...) Paris has broad bi-partisan support. "Let's distract from the Russia issue by something that people actually care about" is not the best strategy is it? Think about the absolutely massive bad press AHCA has generated, combine that with the fact that Paris is only symbolism, and you have a political move with bad optics and no effect on reality. A global minimum if I've seen one (if you have enough cognitive dissonance to think AHCA isn't a massive mess). The problem with "Trump is a political savant" is that it's indistinguishable from the "Trump has severe ADD and just does whatever comes up" narrative. EDIT: check weather.com (at least the US site). When your political move make a meteorological site go full-monty on you, maybe you've generated a couple problems.

> Polling shows that the Russian story is basically resonating with Democrats, but not doing much on the other side of the aisle (granted, Republicans stayed with Nixon up until almost-impeachment...) what does it matter who is resonates with if there so far is no real evidence of wrongdoing? > The problem with "Trump is a political savant" is that it's indistinguishable from the "Trump has severe ADD and just does whatever comes up" narrative. My guess is that you, like many others, didn't watch his entire speech today nor dissect the reasons he is leaving the non-binding accord. I'd love to hear actual rebuttals on his reasoning rather than tireless critiques of his character. It's old, it's boring, it's why he will win in 2020. He is a bold leader that is making good on his campaign promises, all of them, something I can't remember a single politician doing in my lifetime.

Whether or not his policies will manifest in the way he envisions, it's still refreshing.
