Senior White House officials are trying to turn President Donald Trump against embattled EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, urging Trump to fire the source of constant embarrassment for the administration, according to a Monday New York Times report.
Pruitt, who is now the subject of 11 federal investigations, has managed to keep Trump’s support through months of damning headlines. However, unnamed officials told the New York Times that that is likely to change in the next few weeks.
Last month’s confirmation of former coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler as Pruitt’s deputy has reportedly given those in the White House assurance that Wheeler would continue to roll back environmental regulations without Pruitt, paving the way for a pain-free ouster of the current EPA administrator.
Not that I expect any qualitative improvement when it comes to a successor, but still I would love to see this arrogant pustule of privilege and paranoia get kicked out on his ear.
That last paragraph of the article was like a crisp slap across the face of the Environment.
Well thank god there’s another person out there willing to kill the only planet we live on for the profit of corporations. I was afraid Pruitt was the last soulless corrupt fuckstick in this administration. I mean, except for Mnuchin, or Pence, or… Oh forget it, sarcasm fails me this morning, this is hard to even stomach.
With the corpse of an oil soaked seabird.
Why don’t they understand reverse psychology when it comes to trump?
