In public, President Trump said his decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement was ‘more about other countries gaining a financial advantage’ than about climate change.
But on Sunday, while Trump was lunching at his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, a Politico Playbook spy overheard him voicing doubt that climate science was accurate, as members of his administration hedged on whether he still viewed global warming as a ‘hoax.’
‘They can’t even get the weather report right, so how come they think they can get that right?’ Trump reportedly said, according to Playbook’s source.
Trump hosted NFL great Peyton Manning and Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., for a game of golf, according to reporters who spotted the duo at the White House after the president returned from the Virginia club.
Trump’s weather-related comment is more in line with what he has said about climate change in the past, than how he sold the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement last week.
Back in 2012, he tweeted: ‘The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.’
He followed up over the next two years with similar tweets.
‘Give me clean, beautiful and healthy air – not the same old climate change (global warming) bulls**t! I am tired of hearing this nonsense,’ he wrote in January 2014.
Trump often brought up the ‘hoax’ on the campaign trail as well.
