No, Joe, you are mistaken. First, the Republicans support globalization just as much as the Democrats do, if not more so. The Republicans are the party of big business, and globalization helps big businesses more than it does small businesses. Don't you know that NAFTA was negotiated by the first President Bush? It was signed by Bill Clinton because Bush was voted out of office before it could be signed. Trump is not going to bring any companies back to the U.S.; he doesn't have the power to do that (that was one of his false promises). As for clean energy, coal is not clean and never will be. We must abandon coal. As for China, they built many coal plants when their economy started booming two or three decades ago, but now they accept that global warming is real, and they are taking steps to limit their carbon footprint.

As for the EPA, you can't say they use junk science unless you are a scientist, and you obviously aren't. 90% to 95% of the world's climate scientists believe that global warming is man-made. (Let me add here that being a science-denier is a mark of stupidity -- science reflects reality, and so a science-denier like you is just denying reality.) Without the EPA, there will be no federal agency to insure that American businesses DO use clean energy, and there will be no federal agency which overseas the cleanliness of our air and water.

The first thing that Trump did when he got into office was to issue an executive order allowing coal companies to dump mining wastes into our nation's streams. Does that make sense to you? It certainly doesn't make sense to me! He also reversed Obama's initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. Trump doesn't care about the environment.

Let me repeat that Trump is a con man, and you have been snookered by him. He is not the person he pretends to be. I lived in NYC for 30 years before I moved to RI, and I read about Trump constantly. He is a selfish person who cares only about his own wealth, and the way he cheated his business associates (to the tune of a million dollars or more) proves that. His greatest skill is self-promotion. Trump is out only for himself, and you need to see that.

I'm sorry to be blunt, but you are a fool. You believe in Trump because you like his style, but ALL con men have appealing styles that inspire confidence. Your confidence in Trump is misplaced. He doesn't have the skills to fix our problems.
