It’s been a busy week for woke celebs. Don Cheadle defended President Trump and chastised Kathy Griffin earlier this week for posting a gruesome photo of a bloody, decapitated head, and now he’s back to chastising The Donald.
Cheadle isn’t the only celeb speaking out against Trump’s position on the Paris Climate Agreement, and he’s in good company.
If you care about your kids maybe reconsider your #ParisAgreement decision. Barron will thank you when he sees you, whenever that is. https://t.co/Wfb8SSksjT

If President Trump pulls the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement, it will be a horrific mistake.

Congrats/TY @AGSchneiderman! Wish you could make #Trump reverse his insane/troubling decision to pullout of #ParisAgreement #climatechange. https://t.co/vQpdiVjg1l

Donald J. Trump has toyed back and forth with the American people in regards to his thoughts on the Paris Climate Agreement and finally publicly announced that he has decided not to participate in the agreement:
“The United States will withdraw from the Paris climate accord but begin negotiations to re-enter either the Paris accord or an entirely new transaction in terms that are fair to the United States and its workers. So we’re getting out. We’ll see if we can make a deal. If we can’t, that’s fine,”
The Paris Climate Agreement is an agreement within the United Nations participants on how to globally deal with greenhouse gas emissions, including how to reduce them and how to pay for the changes needed to do so. Participating countries agree to start implementing the agreed upon changes in 2020.
The United States joins a very short list of countries unwilling to participate — the other two being Nicaragua and Syria.
Even former President Obama felt obliged to say something and released this statement:

Somebody needs to tell President Trump that the pull out method never works.
