California Gov Says ‘Something Needs To Happen’ To Trump

Maxine Waters has called for anyone associated with Trump to be publicly harassed, Sen. Cory Booker has called for his followers to “get up in the face” of Trump supporters, and now California’s governor Jerry Brown is adding himself to the list of those calling for violence against the Trump administration.

“Something’s got to happen to this guy because if we don’t get rid of him, he’s going to undermine America and even the world,” Brown said on MSNBC yesterday. Literally, any action Trump takes is treated as it’ll cause the end of the world, whether it be the repeal of net neutrality, repeal of ObamaCare’s individual mandate (which had no effect on the number of people insured), or cutting taxes. Miraculously, we all managed to survive those three separate occasions that the sky fell.

While the sky has yet to fall, Brown thinks climate change is the issue where Trump will doom us all. He’s used this hurricane season as the catalyst to argue Trump’s environmental policies will exacerbate such natural disasters.

Referencing Trump pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord, Brown said that “Trump is an enabler. We often hear the term ‘enabler.’ He’s an enabler of climate negligence and climate avoidance. So that’s what’s bad about it. So we have to make sure that all these other countries, whether it’s Russia, or Poland, or South America, Brazil, whatever the heck it is, everybody’s gotta step up, and the President of the United States should be the cheerleader, the exemplary, and instead, he’s the saboteur.” By the way, the Paris Climate Accord required payments of $100 billion per year from the developed world until the year 2100 to reduce global temperatures by 0.2 degrees Celsius.

Brown was then asked, “As a governor, how do you feel when the president of the United States says that nearly 3,000 people did not die in Puerto Rico, even though it was the result of a scientific study and says that it was a Democratic conspiracy to claim all these deaths?” (Note the actual death toll is probably closer to 1,000). Brown called Trump’s statements unprecedented, then added this: “hopefully this election is going to send a strong message to the country; the Democrats will win and then Trump — well, something’s got to happen to this guy, because if we don’t get rid of him, he’s going to undermine America and even the world.”

Meanwhile, climate-related deaths are at the lowest levels they’ve ever been. While controlling the climate is difficult, adapting to it has proven a more suitable strategy.

In 2013 there were 29,404 reported climate-related deaths, which was 99.4% less than in 1932, which had 5,073,283 reported deaths for the same category.

What will Trump do next that will supposedly end the world? Stay tuned until tomorrow to find out!
