Much of the time we don’t know who are the President’s cabinet secretaries. Who was Bush’s Energy Secretary? Who was Obama’s head of the E.P.A.? You know you are in trouble when you can actually name these people.
So we have Ricky Perry as the head of the Energy Department, giving loans to nuclear and coal-fired plans. We have Betsy DeVos, head of the Education Department, who would like to end public education. We have Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, whom I like, if only because he called Trump a moron. We have Mr. Zinke in Interior who is downsizing National Monuments except in his home state of Montana. We have Tom Price of the expensive airline flights–no wait, he’s gone.
The title for the absolute worst has to go to Scott Pruitt, the EPA head who has fired scientists, thinks global warming is a hoax, has been meeting with top executives of companies that emit pollutants that produce global warming and speaking almost daily with lobbyists of companies that the EPA is supposed to regulate while holding almost no meetings with environmentalists, consumer groups, or public health advocates.
So, Trump supporters, tell me how all this makes America great again? Really, tell me.
