Pruitt is the latest member of the Cabinet stuck in a weird limbo – between the competing priorities of President Donald trump.
He is entangled by extension, degrading, and strange ethics cloud, with a few Republicans rush to defend him, and the President, who is in a fighting mood. As he walked forward with trump on the agenda, the rollback of the car-emission regulations under President Barack Obama this week.
The President said Tuesday in Pruitt, “I hope it will be great.”
This can be Read as a warning to Pruitt. But ultimately it is a trump card that you need to decide whether it is “draining the swamp” liabilities outweigh its rules – and no personal relationship between the two men.

After 15 months in office, President trump is physically unable to change the us-Mexican border as much as he would like, and that seems to upset him.
Although the Department of homeland security says that illegal crossings have fallen to the lowest level in 40 years, the President wants to do more and disappointed that Congress has not given him the green light.
First, he thought about the use of the funds, the Pentagon will build a wall, but that’s not how Federal funding works. So now he says he plans to use soldiers to protect the border.
At first glance, what appears to be monumental, but it is unclear what the President means. A bold image that it can present is simply not allowed under Federal law.
While members of the U.S. military, especially the National guard – can be used to support the American guards (as presidents Obama and Bush sent thousands into it), they cannot be used to arrest and detention.
From his off the cuff lines on the exit of Syria, organization of meetings with foreign leaders, arming teachers in schools, and now this country and the world had again gone You are not sure whether to take this President and his loose tongue seriously.

The Ministry of the interior and the national Park service is scaling down a proposal to increase fares on some of the most popular national parks. The proposal is more than two times the entrance fee in some parks to$70.
But after the vast majority of public comments opposed the proposal, the Department confirms that it is looking at more moderate growth.
The higher fees will generate additional revenues for the Park to solve the problem of maintenance in the national parks, but the Minister of internal Affairs Ryan Zinke is now working with Congress to support legislative proposals to allocate more funds for repairs.
“During the public comment period, the National Park received more than 109,000 comments on the original peak season, the Commission’s proposal” a spokesman for the interior Ministry Heather swift said in a statement. “We take seriously the public’s suggestions and amended the plan based on these. The Secretary remains focused on rebuilding the Park’s infrastructure and this plan, coupled with a bipartisan bill in Congress provides a historic investment.”
The newspaper “Washington post” first reported the decision this week.
