But we warned them about climate change.
Scientists said, deregulate, drill, ignore renewables.
You're going to see catastrophic consequences.
Trump said it's a hoax.
He pulled out of the Paris Agreement, rolled back protections, and now we're seeing
Heat waves, intense hurricanes, wildfires burning for months.
Insurance companies are pulling out of Florida, some out of California, because the math just doesn't work when you rebuild the same areas over and over again.
They were warned and they ignored it.
We warned them about the economy as well.
You can't just go around giving permanent tax cuts to the wealthy, imposing massive tariffs, deporting huge portions of the workforce without consequences.
The economists knew it.
They said, oh, this is going to disrupt supply chains.
This is going to drive up costs.

Well, the prices are going up.
Farms can't find workers.
Construction projects are stalled.
