Trump mocked for reason he says global warming is 'a good thing': 'More ignorant than a 5 year old'

Former President Donald Trump said that global warming is "a good thing" because it will give Michigan residents more seafront property.

Speaking during a Flint, Michigan town hall on Tuesday, "Nuclear power — when I hear these people talking about global warming — that's the global warming that people have to worry about. Not that the ocean's gonna rise in 400 years an eighth of an inch."

Trump continued, "And you'll have more seafront property, right, if that happens. I said is that good or bad? I said isn't that a good thing? If I have a little property on the ocean, I have a little bit more property, I have a little bit more ocean.

Former President Barack Obama staffer Rohan Patel replied: "He is unfit on one of the most pressing issues of our time. A vote for Trump is a vote to decelerate the transition to sustainable energy and transportation."

Michigan GOP Watch wrote: "If Michigan is seafront then half our country’s population is under water. His brain is mush."

Parent Coalition for Student Privacy co-chair Leonie Haimson said: "This guy is stupider & more ignorant than a 5 year old."
