  1. Scott Pruitt…Donald Trump told reporters Friday that he continues to have confidence in him.

    Me too Two Scoops!

    I’m confident that he’s living the high life off taxpayers money, that he’s deceitful and a practiced liar comparable to yourself and is bought and paid for by the dirty fuels industry.

    I’m also confident that if his security detail ditched him that within 24 hours he’d be dragged into an alley and beat up.

  2. The “confidence” statement from the Grand Poobah himself. Oh, fine - nothing to see here.

  3. Trump in other words - “what do I know?”

  4. Pruitt is merely following the lead set by the Trump Family in using their public positions to line their pockets and live luxuriously on the taxpayer dime. To condemn Pruitt would be to condemn themselves. Not gonna happen…

  5. I have confidence that he will have at least 20 ethics scandals before I think of firing him.
