Al Gore on Donald Trump: "His wall is unlikely to get built" | GQ Politics | British GQ

[@Mobjob20022000]

He looks like Boris Yeltsin

[@Da1Dez]

Wonder what Blair's legacy would have been like had Gore become president instead of Bush.

[@jakescott6927]

Good point - never considered that

[@veronicavaquer6812]

I continue to love this interview series by Alastair Campbell. Please keep them coming.

[@Darren-bh6lg]

Really????

[@amann7969]

You're beautiful where are you from?

[@Czechbound]

Jesus, that closing flourish nearly deafened me

[@williama.ridley1803]

What a great ambassador for the US. Shoulda, woulda, coulda been a transformational President.

[@sivikasi]

Great interview. Am I the only one who thought Jeff Goldblum was speaking at times? They have very similar accents

[@usamakaratella2417]

The world would be a very different place if Al Gore was elected instead of Bush in 2000.

[@OutSideTheBoxFormat]

I'm so glad Clinton and Gore gave N. Korea nuclear capabilities.

[@kahirm3677]

He was elected - the Supreme Court stopped the recount.

[@cadddie_ai]

be real

[@TB-dz8lm]

Agree or disagree with his politics, he really is an incredible speaker. Fascinating.

[@te2393]

There would have been no Iraq which was so instigated by Don Rumfeld and Cheney

[@folieadeux5463]

get david cameron on here and ask why he ruined his country.

[@cBearTV-]

If only he'd insisted on the recount, oh how different things could've been not only for America but globally too.

[@MightySheep]

I love how he summarizes very complex topics in a way that is easy to understand. Very big brain, much articulate.

[@mikehoncho2763]

Remember when GQ stood for Gentlemen Quarterly, Pepperidge Farm remembers

[@petehampton6051]

Al Gore, the best president America never had

[@kingoftheseamusic]

"People who suffer together have stronger connections than people who are most content"

[@paulgleitman7754]

And all the other courts in the country as well.

[@cazkelly]

The interview didn't age very well did it?

[@kendall_knows_best2872]

You are hearing me talk

[@peterkrauss3292]

Well done Mr. Gore, well done, dynamic, passionate appeal to common sense responsibility

[@loungejay8555]

This aged well, Biden is building the wall 😂

[@martynduffy]

AL GORE is a really pleasant person

[@allah2670]

His wall is half complete. What a waste of money.

[@MrJimheeren]

The fact that this intelligent man didn’t become president of America despite having more votes is a crime against humanity

[@TrumpFanNetwork2]

American elections are not decided by the popular vote. Says something about your intelligence.

[@benstevenson4832]

Al Gore is a highly intelligent and intellectual individual! 👍☺

[@fishjj76]

I think Al Gore might be onto something with the tobacco industry analogy. What if climate change victims sued the fossil fuel industry for damages. That might facilitate change.

[@GoogleUser-lk6xn]

He would’ve made such a great president

[@mariarahelvarnhagen2729]

Innit Edith Wharton ?

[@mariarahelvarnhagen2729]

Out ?

[@mariarahelvarnhagen2729]

Innit Self Demolition ?

[@mariarahelvarnhagen2729]

Sots ?

[@mariarahelvarnhagen2729]

Don't ?

[@wouldbegood]

~~~~~~~~~~~~tWaDDle~~~~~~~~~~~~

[@ccwbee]

Joe Biden proceeds to build the wall

[@jacquelinebtoccigailhelena5184]

What about Alan Savory! That's C02 emissions Harvard researched!

[@stephenroche5107]

Is it me but do american poiticians as they get older begin to look like they are made of plastic.

[@piusx8317]

It's just you

[@ReturnOfTheJ.D.]

No, it looks like that to me also.

[@MSF_London]

Just you

[@TT_1221]

Great Interview. It needed another 10 minutes to tease out the Iraq decision. He is super intelligent and would have made a great President.

[@andypandy4607]

Shame it wasn’t him instead of bill clinton

[@sikosis999]

its so hard knowing a man is a good man, agreeing with aspects of what he's say'n but being unable to concur with some of his message, data and time lines. Mr Gore is a good man, he serves with grace and ability. As an independent its much easier to say I enjoyed this interview, Alastair is one of my favorites! (and yes, i am "american") I wish them both success and hope Mr Gore finds solutions to the issues he engages. Alastair, "Sit Up!" :) much

[@danielorozco1728]

I'm Mexican :(

[@JakeMissy-cr4oj]

If you live HERE, you are American in my book.

[@andypandy4607]

Jake Missy your book is wrong

[@JohnDoe-vz7bn]

He’s super cereal you guys!!

[@wouldbegood]

These guys are living in 2006.

[@andypandy4607]

Probably still got their big iPods

[@MichaelJones-wh9cy]

LOCKBOX

[@ntc3337]

Is this the same guy who said Trump was "unlikely" to get elected??

[@southstandboy]

He wasn't alone in thinking that!

[@billydey4142]

NTC33 you say that as if everyone thought he would get elected, 70% of people thought he would lose

[@billydey4142]

inkey2 No I meant 70% of people around the world, also you can still vote for someone and think they will lose. He lost the popular vote as well by 2 million I think

[@seamusin1697]

Billy Dey Trump lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes. In fact, there is some question as to whether there was tampering, namely by the Russians, in some of the states where Trump had a very narrow margin of victory and which helped him win the electoral college.

[@seamusin1697]

NTC33 In fairness, there were many that thought that Trump wouldn't win. Regardless of whatever Gore may have stated at the time, it does not take anything away from his critique here or his laudable work over the past several years for the environment.

[@tuoratoo]

Hard to fathom people are really buying Al Gore 3rd grade level platitudes.

[@te2393]

He should run for presidency again because the Democrats don't actually have a candidate that can compete at the moment

[@katiemiaana]

Two minutes in, can't stomach the hypocrisy. I can take a climate change lecture from Jeremy Corbyn, lifelong vegetarian who doesn't fly private jets and live in a mansion, but not this guy.

[@piusx8317]

So do you want him to live in a cardboard box? Be realistic ...

[@robg71]

Gore flew in on his Private Jet to, discuss the Climate "Crisis' :)

[@nathandrake5544]

As opoosed to taking a boat? Or swimming?

[@robg71]

Commercial Flight?

[@las0rts781]

@@nathandrake5544 or video-conferencing?

[@pinetree1616]

Gore refers to the Civil Rights and suffragette movements as "struggles." They weren't struggles. They were movements created by powerful factions and were well-funded by many elites. There's nothing grass-roots about most, if not all, social movements. Even if a movement starts out genuinely grass-roots it will quickly be co-opted and steered in a direction that the progenitors of the movement won't like.
