Yep, the regressive left. A well earned moniker coined by a democrat of all things. 

Honestly, I would't care because people have friends or people they look to for advice they interacted with in the past. Nothing wrong with asking for advice or talking to a friend. 

Party over country is your agenda then

Trump only prays to covfefe

Actually, every indication seems to be that he called her because she happens to be on that Fox News show that regularly praises and defends him, not because of any expertise or education she herself has. =P She has absolutely no background in either environmental sciences, or even economics if we want to use that whole 'Jobs, Jobs, Jobs' line Trump has been floating around. Before she entered television she worked as a Prosecutor for criminal cases, with no sign that her background gives her any particular knowledge or authority on the matters Trump called her about.

Her sole defining characteristic seems to be that she was a safe bet as someone who'd give him a pat on the head and a cookie, rather than trying to change his mind with picture-less documents that were longer than a single page.

I'm not particularly outraged, we already know the guy seeks validation above substance every chance he gets. =P

The left =

Oh I agree. That is the biggest blow from all of this, we now have the image of a country who ignores sciences at all cost, even if the vast majority of countries agree.  And we get lumped with Syria of all countries. I heard this morning on CNN where Cuomo was asking Chris Collins why Trump would do this and Collins just goes on a tangent that (as always) this was a bad deal for the US and it was costing millions of jobs, that the decision was done for the benefit of the american people and that all the countries were laughing at us because we had 'harder lines' to meet than other countries. The only thing that Trump got was that now all the countries are ACTUALLY laughing at us for leaving. Yes, jobs in certain places will be lost but we can begin to focus on making more job in cleaner energy and in the long run (in theory), it will lead to the benefit of the american people.

You're competely right, we are becoming an embarassment in the eyes of the global community and the civilized world.

Like most dems, you're reversing reality.  Right leaning people want things that benefit the whole country and not just for a few groups a certain political party panders to for votes. More jobs and stronger economy helps all americans. 

Well, what does "stronger economy" even mean? More money? It doesn't really mean much, as there could be more money, but result of most people having less if it concentrates towards to the upper class.

While I think your constant "regressive left" propaganda is silly and that "fake outrage" is just as common with the right (you often do it here, actually), I do agree that this story, while decidedly odd, is pretty much meaningless.  I very much doubt that Trump calling this person had any influence on his decision making at all.  He probably "worked the phones" with right-wing media figures he knew would praise him on the air.  There may have been an element of ego in it as well.  Also, the Huffington Post is full of absolute crap and I put it in the same pile as many of the shows on Fox News.

I mean, if Trump was going to take advice from anyone in the media, it would be Alex Jones.  I'm not sure if I'm kidding or not, which is really scary now that I think about it.

I'm not a dem. Nor left like you try to propogate. Pro-Conservation is what I am. And that short sighted benefit will hurt the world. Instead of pander to industries like coal mining which has no future, the US should invest into jobs that help the environment. There are plenty of jobs that do that which will and can boost the economy
