Donald Trump is his base’s global warming: they refuse to admit that he is damaging them and the world, and they continue to vote to enable him.

Eventually global warming will destroy this planet; and the damage will happen soon enough that it will affect them and their children with vicious storms, rising sea levels and wild atmospheric swings.
