President Trump’s tweet poking fun at global warming alarmists has prompted a mass triggering, with the blue check brigade once again losing its shit over a Trump trolling.
Trump tweeted the following late last night in response to reports of record cold temperatures:
In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 29, 2017
Now, when its exceptionally warm, that appears to be solid evidence of climate change, according to many, but when its really cold, that logic seems to evaporate.
Cue the mass triggering:
It’s funny – when Trump made his Paris Accord announcement, the White House evaded for days as reporters asked whether the president still believes global warming is fake.
He just…tweeted it out.

Imagine being so ignorant that you don’t understand why a single cold snap doesn’t disprove climate science based on centuries of data https://t.co/KuPIrgwaIf

Reminder that Trump's Irish golf course just got permission to build seawall.
The original application for the wall cited global warming and rising seas as a reason for needing the wall https://t.co/C4RQDM1z5Q https://t.co/pI8SEZzmdC

Thanks to Twitter I know that when it gets cold outside, @realDonaldTrump will wonder where global warming went pic.twitter.com/9WpWleUiOK

Dear lord. For the record, global climate change creates more extreme weather on both ends of the spectrum. #Science. https://t.co/i3ift6dTHQ

The president is still the world’s leading proponent of the world’s stupidest talking point about climate change. pic.twitter.com/N8ThtBABc6

This is simply among the stupidest ramblings ever tweeted – especially from the leader of the free world and a nation that ONCE led the world in science. You condemn us with your contrived ignorance and outlandish arrogance. Happy New Year. https://t.co/x0H1mBl8X3

The ‘reporters’ (stalkers/jilted lovers) at CNN and MSNBC got straight in on the action, tweeting out articles from… USA Today:
Climate change is about the long-term changing of our climate — and increasing unpredictability in it. Not about a cold spell. https://t.co/mbqtOpp0xS
— Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) December 29, 2017
By the Trump logic, a warm summer would be incontrovertible evidence that climate change is real

'It's cold outside, but that doesn't mean climate change isn't real'https://t.co/L9hQXLIrlL

This is a jaw-dropping misunderstanding of what climate change is… https://t.co/aa0wATPjea

A reminder that President Trump’s tweets are to be treated as official White House statements… so the official White House position is that global warming could be a good thing. https://t.co/HPkt8kQmXY

Looks like our President still fundamentally misunderstands what global warming is. Or is misleading those who don’t understand the science. https://t.co/wXTA3qeq25

Buy a drink for the climate experts at @NOAA, @NASA, @EPA, @NSF, @Smithsonian, @DeptofDefense, @USDA.

Climate change is about long-term trends: "2017 has seen far more record highs than record lows… Over the last 365 days, there have been roughly 3 record high temperatures in the U.S. for every record low temperature, according to federal gov't data." https://t.co/3hjD0CX2kg https://t.co/pI8SEZzmdC
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) December 29, 2017
And the triggering continued:
This statement shows we are idiocracy. "It's really cold outside today" is not about climate. And while people who laugh at science wont get it, yes, global warming can lead to mass freezing. Today, however, is just weather. But the least informed will keep laughing the loudest. https://t.co/KOlNUaNhU4

Either @realDonaldTrump doesn't understand the science behind climate change, or he is intentionally misleading the American people. Also, Merry Christmas (even though today is Dec 28) because the President says we can say that again (even though we have always been saying it). https://t.co/8KwaxdbvzB

I’m going to say something really crazy: I believe in science. Climate change is real and we have a moral obligation to protect this Earth for our children and grandchildren.

Even The Dictionary was triggered:
The global in #GlobalWarming means pertaining to the whole world. #ClimateChangehttps://t.co/37E30cDZVq https://t.co/gk7GmIJs0d

A few found the trolling hilarious:
Donald Trump must be the first leader in history who believes it's his duty to regularly troll the majority of his own citizens. https://t.co/obFYQaFmz0

I was at the Military Bowl in Annapolis today and could have used some Global Warming. Trump is right! https://t.co/KnfEX8XTEO
