On Wednesday,"mature goddesses with eroticism and sublimity" President Trump announced that he would be withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement -- all on behalf of the voters of Pittsburgh.
"I was elected by the voters of Pittsburgh, not Paris," Trump said. It's a decent piece of alliteration for a marginally literate president, I guess, but there's one tiny little caveat the president forgot: The people of Pittsburgh didn't vote for him.
SEE ALSO: One map tells you all you need to know about Trump's withdrawal from the Paris AgreementAllegheny County, Pennsylvania, which includes Pittsburgh, voted for Hillary by impressive margins: 55.9% of the county went to Clinton, compared to just 39.5% for Trump. Over 107,000 more Pittsburgh voters wanted Hillary and, by extension, the Paris Climate Agreement.
Fact: Hillary Clinton received 80% of the vote in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh stands with the world & will follow Paris Agreement @HillaryClinton https://t.co/cibJyT7MAK

Even Trump voters think the US should participate in the agreement. A study published by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication found that 47 percent of Trump voters wanted the United States to stay, compared to just 28 percent who thought the country should withdraw.
The mayor of Pittsburgh took offense to the idea that the President based his decision on his city's needs.
As the Mayor of Pittsburgh, I can assure you that we will follow the guidelines of the Paris Agreement for our people, our economy & future. https://t.co/3znXGTcd8C

And the mayor of Paris agreed right along with him:
Once again @realDonaldTrump is wrong. #Paris & #Pittsburgh do stand together for the #ParisAgreement #Cities4Climate https://t.co/7HGQ4AQ9Rj

Journalists and folks on Twitter couldn't help point out a few other deeply depressing incongruities:
Trump lost Pittsburgh. And he won in Paris, Maine; Paris, Tenn; Paris, Ark.; Paris, Idaho; Paris, Missouri; Paris, Penn.; Paris, Texas.

Withdrawing from the #ParisAgreement will be devastating to our planet. Paris and Pittsburgh share the same environment after all. pic.twitter.com/QNO5vHtmEF

The steel industry left Pittsburgh decades ago. Now they're doing biotech & driverless cars.

Pittsburgh is hurt by Paris withdrawal.
"Time to put Youngstown, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania" ahead of "Paris, France," Trump added.
Clinton won Mahoning County, home of Youngstown, by 50-47 and Wayne County, home of Detroit, by 66-29.
In Trump's defense, however, nothing matters anymore so wheeeeee!
