Dear President-Elect Trump: Climate change is not a hoax. Please consider this: It’s raining near the North Pole.

He's as corrupt as they get, too? And empowering the worst aspects of the established GOP? The only thing anti-establishment about Trump were his marketing slogans that people somehow mistook for ideology and/or policy.

As far as "intelligence", swap it out for whatever perceptual malfunction allows people to take the person who said this...

If I were to run, I’d run as a Republican. They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they’d still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific.

...at the word on literally anything. There were two rich New York democrats running for office, one with a long history of grift, willing to sell out anyone or anything for an ego boost, including the climate (which is the aspect I find most unforgivable, everything else can come and go). He's not even doing it based on any ideals - it's just less valuable to him than his ego. At least Clinton's sloppy political triangulation accounted for facts about the climate, even if she didn't go nearly far enough.

But yea, good job sticking it to the man. Mike Pence, Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, and the rest of the GOP C-team are totally going to give voice to your needs. The man is reeling and the people in your neighborhood will surely be better off once the GOP deregulates finance and unleashes the fossil fuels industry. Truly the road to Greatness.
