Donald Trump put his stupidity on full display this past week during his trip to London where he was allowed to mingle with members of the British royal family. The President appeared almost cartoonish in his tuxedo, lied about protestors, and mocked the mayor of London with untrue statements. But it was his disagreement with Prince Charles on climate change that stands out as one of the most embarrassing moments of the trip, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

So Donald Trump has returned from his trip over to the UK. In fact, it's actually been back for about a day and a half at this point. However, I think it's important to remember the fact that during this entire trip, Donald Trump was an absolute embarrassment to us here in the United States for multiple reasons. I mean, obviously first and foremost, we had the picture of him standing in that Tuxedo looking like bugs bunny about to conduct an opera. Then of course, we had him lying about all the protesters, and let's not forget the fact that he actually began the trip by maliciously attacking the mayor of London. But all of that to me, maybe with the exception of the attacks on the London mayor pale in comparison to what he said to piers Morgan about climate change. See, here's what happened. Donald Trump apparently had a meeting with Prince Charles. The meeting was supposed to last 15 minutes.
Instead, it went on for 90 minutes, and during the meeting, Prince Charles was trying to educate Donald Trump about the dangers of climate change, the threats that it poses to the entire world. And Donald Trump wasn't having any of it, didn't want to hear it, didn't want to be there, showed the British royal family that he, the leader of the United States is an absolute moron and doesn't care about the biggest threat to the planet. So he told Piers Morgan, his good buddy on good morning Britain on Wednesday. What happened at the meeting? Here's some quotes he said,
"He is really into climate change and I think that's great. What he really wants and what he really feels warmly about is the future. He wants to make sure future generations have climate that is good climate as opposed to a disaster. And I agree."
Okay. So you're sitting here saying like, man, this guy cares about the future. Wow. He just wants people to have a good environment and I totally agree with that. And then Donald Trump added this. He said,
"I did say, well the United States right now has, among the cleanest climates there are based on all statistics and it's even getting better because I agree with that. We want the best water, the cleanest water. It's crystal clean, has to be crystal clean, clear."
Keep in mind, I did not just stumble while reading that those were the actual words in the actual order that Donald Trump said them in this interview. But let's get one thing straight. Uh, the United States does not have anywhere near the cleanest air or the cleanest water or the cleanest soil for that matter. In fact, our emissions are pollution since this man has become president are actually going up. You know, fine particulate matter in our atmosphere, in our air, the air that we breathe every day has gotten worse. One third of Americans are now drinking contaminated tap water on a daily basis. A third of us in this country, 110 million, and that number's going up. More than 2000 water districts in this country have levels of lead in their water. That's actually worse than what was in Flint, Michigan. So no, we do not have the crystal clean, clear water that Donald Trump told piers Morgan we have.
