re: Trump said pissing off Europeans was Secondary benefit to leaving Paris

The US since W. Bush has been alienating the international community with its actions, and Trump's action has continued this trend. China is ten years away from being the biggest economy in the world. The US' world power is diminishing rapidly. Even if you're a climate change denier (because you like to see liberals angry), you can't ignore the impact this has on our international standing and our ability to be perceived as world leaders.
