Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein sent his first-ever tweet, and it was to condemn Donald Trump for pulling the US out of the Paris Climate deal to slow the pace of man-made global warming.  He was just one of many business luminaries to criticize Trump.

"Today's decision is a setback for the environment and for the U.S.'s leadership position in the world.  ," Blankfein tweeted.

Trump's decision is a victory for his nationalist chief strategist Steve Bannon, and Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt over pro-Paris Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Trump's daughter Ivanka and her husband and White House advisor Jared Kushner.  It immediately alienated the leaders of forward-thinking technology companies.

Tesla boss Elon Musk tweeted, "Am departing presidential councils.  Climate change is real.  Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world," while Disney CEO Robert Iger also resigned from the president's advisory council via Twitter: "As a matter of principle, I've resigned from the President's Council over the withdrawal," he wrote.

Even before the official announcement, 25 major companies took out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times with a letter addressed to Trump.  The companies - including Google, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Mars, Schneider Electric, Morgan Stanley, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts - urged Trump not to withdraw from the Paris accord.

Reaction from world leaders to Trump's idiocy ranged from disappointment to disgust, but none trolled the orange clown harder than French President Emmanuel Macron who offered to start a new "brain drain" from the diminished and fading United States:

"To all scientists, engineers, engineers, entrepreneurs, responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the United States, I want to say that they will find in France a second homeland," said Macron on the U.S. rejecting the accord.  "I call on them:  Come and work here with us - to work together on concrete solutions for our climate, our environment.  I can assure you, France will not give up the fight."
