Mayors and municipal leaders across the US are already stating publicly that they'll stick to their agreements, nobody is about to start building coal-fired power stations in America knowing that there's an excellent chance that they'll be shut down by the next president, meanwhile the rest of the world is lining up to reconfirm or strengthen commitments.
This isn't actually going to change much at all, aside from being a decision that will make Trump even less popular both at home (apparently, 69% of Americans think that the US should remain in the agreement), and across the world.
The man's a fucking idiot.

Trump scored ~65m votes in a country of almost 325m, that's less than 20% of the population, so it's entirely possible that the above stat is true.
