That's the whole issue though, isn't it? That he prioritizes short term policies over any long term thinking?

If we get to the point where climate change is a short term issue, we've already lost unless by that point we're advanced enough to colonize other planets.

For people who lost their jobs because of moving production to China and illegal immigrants going to Mars is not really important issue. It is not going to return any profits in their lifetime.

No. There is no point where colonizing other planets is easier than fixing this one.
