Former US President Donald Trump mocked the worsening climate crisis on Saturday. “We’re getting a little more beachfront property, which isn’t the worst thing in the world,” he said during a campaign appearance in Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city.
“I’ve heard that the oceans will increase by an eighth of an inch in the next 300 years. We have bigger problems than that,” said Trump (see video in tweet below), who has repeatedly questioned whether climate change is man-made However, such doubts have been scientifically disproved.
Congressional elections will be held in the United States in November. During his campaign appearance in Alaska, Trump left open whether he wanted to run again in the 2024 presidential election, only announcing that he would then retake the White House. And he reiterated his long-debunked claim that he had been cheated of his victory in the 2020 presidential election.
Republican Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris climate accord during his tenure. His Democratic successor, Joe Biden, immediately stepped back after taking office early last year and led the United States back into the accord. Biden has made the fight against climate change one of his top goals.
Trump backs ex-vice presidential candidate Palin
During his performance in Alaska, Trump expressed his support for former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who is running for a seat in the US House of Representatives. He called on voters to send the “great, legendary Palin” to Washington. Palin was the target of ridicule during the 2008 election campaign when, as a vice presidential candidate, she claimed she could see Russia from her home in Alaska.
Palin briefly appeared next to Trump on Saturday night. “We love you,” she told the ex-president. “We need you back.” Trump announced that Republicans would regain control of the House of Representatives in the congressional election. Referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the 76-year-old Republican said, “We’re going to end the political career of madman Nancy Pelosi once and for all.”
