Paris Agreement: Climategate 3.0
I broke the Climategate story seven and a half years ago. That's right: I did it. In this article I discuss how--while also discussing what was so bad about the Paris Agreement, how even the foremost activists didn't like it (they didn't think it went far enough), and how most of the parties to the agreement don't even believe their own narrative--because they won't act like it!
But he didn't seem to understand why or show any understanding what the criteria for a judge should be, only emoting over Gorsuch's academic background with names and titles that impressed him.
During the campaign he promised to appoint judges who will overturn the right of abortion, which he may or may not have done. Who knows what the next one will be -- anything from conservative religious zealot to progressive in order to pander to one pressure group or another for whatever he emotionally feels works at the political moment ('You got one now it's their turn')?
As for the rescinding, he hasn't revoked many (most?) of Obama Executive Orders. In particular he hasn't rescinded the National Monument decrees he campaigned against (when he wasn't swooning over "Federal lands").
Pragmatism is the philosophy of William James, Charles Peirce and John Dewey that has increasingly dominated American thought and politics for a century. It is the foundation of Progressivism with its premise that government power is a "tool" for whatever you want to accomplish. It holds that truth is whatever "works" and that what is true today need not be true tomorrow. It is against principle on principle.
Your cynical, 'nothing wrong with" being a Pragmatist, take what you can when you "find" yourself able to get away with it, isn't even civilized. It is not what Atlas Shrugged is about.
Obama "fullfilled promises", too. It matters what they are. Trump's are typically vague and contradictory the more he talks, including major issues like the promised repeal of Obamacare now turning into a Republican version of government entitlements and control. Trump is an emotional thinker who lacks the principles and understanding necessary to "promise" anything meaningful. The Trump idolizers don't know the difference.

Birth control is easy and cheap. It just takes a decision, by the woman, NOT the man (it's none of his business and if he REALLY wants a child, adopt one) to take control.
The "too many people" issue is plausible but not likely. Consider, all of the current population of the earth would only fill 1/5th of the Grand Canyon.
They have also failed to reform taxes as Trump pushes for what amounts to a national sales tax on imports, Trump is now pushing his massive "infrastructure" spending plans as the biggest "monument builder" of them all, and he has put the revocation of Obama's National Monument decrees on hold in a 'study'.
