'It's so stupid': Trump called out for seeking political advantage in climate conspiracy theories

Donald Trump and his political allies have made a new project of pushing the idea that the government is somehow controlling the weather, and are convincing their followers of these conspiracies to such detrimental effect that event Republican officials are speaking out. Rep. Eric Sorensen, the only meteorologist in Congress, discusses with Alex Wagner.

As my mother would say about people like this, "apparently these people say they went through school, but the school didn't go through them".

I’m 73 years old, and have never come across anyone like Trump, the biggest DH ever. Can he talk anything sensible. kids talk with more common sense.

"My apartment is beautiful. It's sealed. I don’t think anything gets out." Sadly for us, YOU DO,

[CommaCam]

Stupid, cruel, deranged, depraved, deplorable.... Lots of words to describe lying about an active emergency. What Trump and others are doing right now is really beyond the pale.

Trump/ Vance and MAGA have exposed two things this Country needs to work on, Education and Mental health.

You are looking at total ignorance in public from a presidential candidate

Red states before disaster-"We're going to secede because we hate socialism!"😡
Red states after disaster-"Please government, we need help! Socialism ain't that bad."🥺

I live in Black Mountain NC the federal and FEMA have been with us from the beginning! These GOP MAGA MORONS need to be voted out of office! And don't forget about mid-term elections in 2026!

if weather can be controlled why wont rain be falling on every single rally of DT?

If I can control the weather I will get a rain cloud to follow MTG wherever she goes.

This man is a lunatic completely unfit for office.

He keeps saying if the oceans rise you’re gonna have more beachfront property. That’s physically stupid and wrong. If your beach recedes, then you have less beachfront property.

[busabrye]

If sea levels rise, you would have less ocean front property! That’s how stupid he is

[vikkiskinner]

If MTG was a political representative in any other country.. she would have been fired a long time ago

[chrisedwards]

As a Brit, I find the lack of legal accountability in the US astounding. Your checks and balances are not working in practice. If they were, he would be in jail already and not allowed to run for office

[derekgreggs]

Tim Walz said it best: these people are WEIRD.

[WayneMcCoy-wkbs]

Here goes Marjorie Taylor Goone at it again, Her Constituents ought to be Very Proud of her Lunacy 😢

[lamiagumbo]

Stupidity didnt used to be a requirement to be a republican. Nowadays you cant be one without it.

[carmensaavedra]

That is dumb and dumber. My god, can we just start living free again without controversy

[joannebottcher]

Listening to him makes me wonder how he could possibly be a candidate for US president!!

A reminder it was the CFC in hairsprays, not the hairspray itself. If you notice, we still have hairspray
