I appreciate that. While I think other leaders are accountable for making deals, I understand it's not always possible to close a deal. I get that. Regardless, leaders should try harder. Something else along this line too, trump catches heat for bailing out on the Paris Climate Accord and I agree that he should be held accountable for bailing out. But euro leaders are also bailing out on the Accord, they just aren't as assholey about that as trump is. Germany won't meet its PCA promises and their leaders decided to just give up on them. Canada is also bailing out on their promises via trudeau's goal of becoming a major oil producer. these same leaders point at trump for bailing on the deal.
