Hmmm quite a crowd. Vive la France!!

 

this article 

 

its incoherence and lack of organization, Trump’s victory less resembled a modern social movement than a peasant’s revolt from the Middle Ages. His campaign lacked a coherent program, although its messenger, a New York narcissist, possessed a sixth sense that people “out there” were angry. Trump’s message was negative largely because he had nothing positive to say, though that had the useful effect of driving his enemies slightly insane. 

So while he’s succeeded in stirring the blue hornet’s nest, he’s created no productive movement. Successful social movements—the Jacksonians, the New Dealers, the Reaganites, and the European social democrats—directly appealed to the working class with policies that for better or worse, challenged the existing social and economic hierarchy.

Trump, like Jackson, identified with the plight of the “left behind” America, notably rural areas and small towns that have seen their business communities shrink, while larger metropolitan areas have grown much faster. The new economic order, evident throughout the Obama era, represents what urban analyst Aaron Ren describes as “the decoupling of success in America. Those who are succeeding in America no longer need the overall prosperity of the country to personally do well. They can become enriched as a small, albeit sizable, minority.”

Trump brilliantly played off this geographic and class segmentation. But unlike others who successfully played populist themes, Trump did not emerge from and understand the mindset of those further down the social order, as did Jackson, Lincoln, Truman, Reagan, Nixon, and Bill Clinton. Trump simply stoked resentments, many but not all well-justified.

Trump has taken few concrete steps to address the causes of his supporters’ distress. Changes in trade negotiations and jawboning corporations are good first steps but limited in their effect. There is little in what he’s proposed since January that would help the middle and working class. Unlike Reagan, who cut rates across the board, Trump seems to be listening mostly to the Goldman Sachs grandees to whom he has entrusted our economy.

so not only does he skip his own rally but, the Trump Campaign blasted out an email with link to Infowars (CNN is Isis):

supporters stand up and show their support for President trump on Paris accords

 

yeah, about 50 clowns who can't spell Paris and probably couldn't point to it on a map.

infowars "performance artists"said to have received funding from mogilevich ...good luck!!!!

 

The peasant revolt!!!

President Obama never had the approval of 2/3 of the Senate. Therefore, the Paris agreement (aka a treaty) was invalid. 

 

President Trump righted that wrong. 

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

to the point about the definition of a treaty 

In US Law there are Treaties,  congressional-executive agreements and sole-executive agreements.  Article II with the Advise and Consent of 2/3 of the Senate only applies to Treaties.  

In international law all three types of agreements are Treaties. 

So Obama did not need approval of 2/3 of the Senate and Trump does not need Congress to change the agreement.
