Out of Place
Many commenters were angry at Trump for attending a meeting where they believed he lacked the expertise of other leaders, and representing the entire U.S. in the same way. They wondered if he understood the gulf between his own understanding of climate science and that of the other leaders.
Contradictions
Some users pointed out the inconsistencies in Trump's speech, including some that were contained in a single sentence. Others thought that Trump's legacy would include a major stain for the damage he did to the environment.
Biden
Some speculated that Trump might have lost interest in events with other world leaders since he will not be among them in two months. They figured Trump might have wanted to leave to avoid questions about his successor.
Undone
Many of Trump's critics were glad that Biden has promised to rejoin the Paris clime accords, meaning that this strange move by the president will be undone and rendered irrelevant.
Conspiracy Theories
Some users mocked Trump's commentary on the Paris accords, believing that he was sharing more unbelievable conspiracy theories. They thought that it would require mental gymnastics to believe in such a conspiracy, while not believing in climate change itself.
Countdown
For many users, stories like this one are just another part of their countdown to inauguration day, when Biden takes office and Trump leaves.
Global Perspective
Some viewers were hopeful that the other world leaders would not identify the U.S. with Trump, but with Biden instead.
