Senator Tim Kaine tweeted that President Trump is "jealous" of former President Obama's accomplishments.

While slamming President Trump's recent decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, Senator Tim Kaine said that Trump is "jealous" of President Obama's accomplishments.
The former vice presidential candidate tweeted on Friday, "Why did Trump really walk away from #ParisAgreement? He's surrounded by science deniers and fossil fuel junkies."
In another tweet, Kaine said, "POTUS jealous of Obama accomplishments. But in the end, American innovative spirit is stronger than his insecurities."
Obama also spoke out against the Paris accord decision on Thursday. 
 “The nations that remain in the Paris Agreement will be the nations that reap the benefits in jobs and industries created. I believe the United States of America should be at the front of the pack," said Obama. "But even in the absence of American leadership; even as this Administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future; I’m confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we’ve got.”
