Trump flies massive jet to global warming torn LA to hand out free stuff to voters.

No disconnect with climate reality or campaign laws there!

So he actually handled one box of the voter gifts himself, and then to get rid of the heavy-to-him box he said, "Give me a good, strong guy,” because, you know, women (who carry children all the time) can’t lift heavy things.

Trump can’t even open his mouth once without screwing up. What did this photo op cost? Not just in money, but also in injury to our global environment and the air we all breath? How much does this one man pollute compared to the average person? I know, the air belongs to the rich and they get to burn it up however they want, right? No, it is not right. It is especially not right that they won't even acknowledge the problem to everyone on the planet created by the wealthy, industrialized world. That would mean an end to private jets and massive yachts. To scientists, it means the end of life as we know it, but hey, they deny that too. Maybe when that mansion in Florida is ruins sticking out of the water .....

even Clinton does - lets argue on something we don't sound hypocritical on. Sure it is not a great idea, but unless they are taking a train across the US, not going to be the best issue.

4. Oh yeah, let's be silent about the causes of global warming because our candidate flies in a jet?

Bullshit. Donald didn't have a campaign event there, he flew there for a five minute photo op. What did his minute of handing out free stuff cost?

5. Or maybe people should realize that global warming is caused by humans.

And act accordingly. If our leaders can't act accordingly, how do you expect others to do so.

"They all do it" is bullshit.
