Trump says East Coast could use 'Global Warming' during cold
President Donald Trump  said Thursday the East Coast "could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming" as bitterly cold temperatures are expected to freeze large swaths of the country this holiday weekend.
 Trump  wrote on Twitter  "In the East  it could be the COLDEST New Year's Eve on record."  He  added: "Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country  but not other countries  was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!"
 The president  did not acknowledge the difference between the weather and the climate. Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions during a shorter period  while climate is a longer view of weather patterns.
 Trump  has repeatedly expressed skepticism about climate change science  calling global warming a "hoax" created by the Chinese to damage American industry.
 He  announced earlier this year  his  intention to pull out of the landmark Paris climate agreement aimed at curbing greenhouse gas production. The accord set goals for slowing the rate of climate change by reducing the emissions that contribute to melting Arctic ice  increasing sea levels and changing weather patterns across the globe.
Last year set a record for Earth's average global temperature. In an impromptu interview with The New York Times Thursday at his golf club in West Palm Beach  Florida   Trump  said  he  thinks special counsel Robert Mueller is "going to be fair" with respect to Mueller's investigation of Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election last year and alleged ties between  Trump  campaign associates and Russia.
 He  said that "everybody knows"  his  people did not collude with Russians  insisting in the interview that the "real stories" involve Democrats and their relationship with Russians during the campaign.  Trump  also told the Times  he  wasn't worried about the uncertainty concerning when the Mueller investigation might be concluded.
Of the Mueller probe   Trump  said  "It makes the country look very bad  and it puts the country in a very bad position. So the sooner it's worked out  the better it is for the country."
