So in his big Paris Accords exit speech, Trump admits that he’s already willing to work with Democrats to negotiate our way back into the Paris Accords, or to renegotiate a new Paris Accords.
"If the obstructionists want to get together with me, let's make them non-obstructionists," Trump says of potentially re-entering deal. pic.twitter.com/f1bVZm6RmZ

Wow, I don’t like the sound of this at all. I would like to think he’s just trying to extend an olive branch to the Democrats for publicity purposes. But given how he handled NAFTA, I think he’s probably serious. And given his track record on the Obamacare repeal thus far, we could end up with only a slightly less bad deal than Obama negotiated in the first place.
Hey Trump, how about we just stay out of the Paris Accords. Period.
UPDATE: I meant NAFTA, not NATO. Too many acronyms making my head explode!
UPDATE:
Europe says NO to Trump’s renegotiation comments:
BERLIN (AP) _ France, Germany, Italy issue joint statement saying Paris climate accord can't be renegotiated.
