Trump’s phone call with (or, really, to) RFK Jr. is the unhinged rant of a crazy person. But you won’t know that without listening to the whole thing (which is painful). Journalists will try to make it make sense by quoting selectively.

“The more I ponder this, the more I realise that the only thing preventing us from fixing the climate, is the super rich not being willing to be slightly less super rich.

The poor can be hurt as much as you like but you must never hurt the rich.” #climate #ClimateCrisis #climatechange
