Donald Trump: Stormy, foggy, inclement.
Donald Trump isn’t a climatologist, unless “climatologist” means “bag of diarrhea.” In that case, Donald Trump is a huge climatologist, perhaps the biggest climatologist in the country. I mention a weather-related term because Donald Trump is one of those special people unworried about climate change. He’s sure it doesn’t exist. No chance. Nothing to trouble yourself over. Every NASA scientist is wrong and Donald Trump is right. His opinion isn’t merely a failure of intellect. You see, Donald Trump lives in a delusional bubble that extends in many directions. For instance, in a recent tweet he explained to young people, many of whom who are saddled with student-loan debt and struggling in a difficult job market, how they can put their financial troubles behind them.

And, you know, kids, it wouldn’t kill you if you had some gold on hand. So, Donald Trump is detached enough to not realize that most people haven’t enjoyed the advantages he has, with a developer father who gave him a big hand up in the world of real estate and helped him out when he needed it most. But, of course, as is usually the case with Donald, ignorance certainly plays a role. I mean, how dumb do you have to be to joke about our scary weather on November 7, in the days after Hurricane Sandy caused fatalities and massive property damage?
It’s freezing and snowing in New York–we need global warming!

Of course, Donald Trump doesn’t think these statements are callous because he can prove climate change is fiction.

From 1954 to 1960 there were 10 major hurricanes that hit the East Coast.

Well, yes, there have always been hurricanes and all kinds of horrible weather, but that’s a shallow reading of the data, no better than when Trump was predicting that Mitt Romney would blow past President Obama in the polls in the last couple of weeks before the election. Why didn’t these hurricanes in the past cause the kind of flooding that this one did? Why were there deaths and wreckage in places that hadn’t seen such destruction in the history of recorded weather? It could be, perhaps, because the fucking water level is way fucking higher now because of fucking climate change. You know, the recorded fucking temperature has been warmer than fucking average every fucking month for fucking years and that causes the fucking ice (a fucking solid) to melt into fucking water (a fucking liquid). The possibility must, at least, be fucking considered.
