Can you explain how Obama is not a total failure at fighting climate change or cite links as to how he has had a meaningful impact on reducing global warming?

I think you mean populist.

You are seeing some who has no intention of running again and hence he is already in second term mode, no votes to win and it is all about him and the mark he makes in history and not interested in other rich gits money, he already has his own, being a successful reformer would be a real ego kick, the Cromwell of his time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Would Trump see himself in that light, ohhh yeahh. When The Shrub, Uncle Tom Obama become just a forgotten bitter history, well they remember Don Don the incredible orange hulk, angry Don Don Smash (they really should not have been so vociferous in attacking Donald's family, not the kind of guy to take that well or ever forgive it).

If you think he's a typical establishment politician you don't know your history.

For politicians like Trump it doesn't matter to his followers if he contradicts himself. What matters is how he makes them feel in the moment.

Yeah he's being sensible. What a boob!

He just said whatever he thought would win him the election.

What he said has pretty much no attachment to what he will do.

He's a fast learner at becoming a typical lying establishment politician, after having been briefed on the actual facts of the nation and the world.

Of course the role dictates what you have to do in it, anyway. It's all part of the machine.

Enjoy the ride, suckers.

He has already flip-flopped on Hillary, and now says he will not send her to prison after all. The alt-right is livid. Next, he will be telling the Mexicans that they will only have to pay for their side of the wall.

He's getting very good at emulating a pancake.

"Many people are saying climate change is a serious issue, many people. Nobody is better at fighting climate change than me. We're going to have the best carbon controls in the world. Obama was a total failure at fighting climate change. Total failure. The rest of the world is laughing at us...."

Maybe someone presented climate change to him as a jihadist terror plot. I can't wait to hear him repeat the phrase "radical Islamic climate change" ;)
