Trump is like Denmark’s King Cnut: Al Gore

Despite President Donald Trump’s repeated dismissal of the climate crisis, 92 per cent of new power generation installed in the US was renewable, former vice-president and environmental activist Al Gore told CNA on Monday (Sep 7). Mr Gore also compared Trump to Denmark’s ancient monarch King Cnut, who was “drunk on his power”.

“(King Cnut) laughably believed that he could command the tides of the ocean to stop and he could not,” he said. #usnews #usa #algore #trump
