Pruitt in resignation letter to Trump: You are president because of God's providence

Source: The Hill

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator (EPA) told President Trump in his letter of resignation on Thursday that Trump is president because of "God's providence."

"My desire in service to you has always been to bless you as you make important decision for the American people," Pruitt said in a letter obtained by Fox News. "I believe you are serving as President today because of God’s providence. I believe that same providence brought me into your service. I pray as I have served you that I have blessed you and enable you to effectively lead the American people."

can be. There doesn't appear a single honest word in the entire piece. But, what about all the damage he has already done. It would take a brilliant ,talented and dedicated person with the of an enlightened President just to restore the wreckage he has already done to the environment and the spirit of most Americans.

It is very good news that he is gone. But, who knows what reprobate Trump will choose to replace him.

God created the earth; only Pruitt's, Trump's and Repugs (Kochs et alios) "providence" is to destroy it.

But Pruitt's fawning and adoration of Trump makes me think his wife should be asking some questions.

I would be fine if they went off somewhere (Trump and Pruitt) and left the rest of us to clean up their mess.

for the point that there is no god. That these crooked, thieving bastards always claim that god is on their side makes me more convinced there is no god. Otherwise they'd be struck by lightening on the spot.
