I really don’t know how to begin with the exception of comparing Trump’s administration to every other in history. His is the most corrupt in American history and the crimes committed by his circle of sinners have been protected by a cowardly Republican congress.

One of Trump’s appointees is the poster boy for his party’s corruption and what makes America the least respected nation in the developed world. Greatness is nothing but a dream.

One of the first efforts of the Republican Party which confirmed that it is opposed to the nation of our founding fathers occurred when the Republican Senate confirmed Scott Pruitt as the director of the Environmental Protection Agency. This agency, which was created by Republican President Richard Nixon, was designated to protect our nation’s air, land, and water, was given to a man who filed multiple lawsuits against the very agency he leads when he was the Attorney General of the state of Oklahoma. This is one of the greatest travesties in American history, for the history of the world, and a condemnation of the right wing hypocrites who now control our government.

The fact that Pruitt has bowed to his fuhrer and continues to make attempts to eliminate all regulations intended to protect the future of the world is sufficient to demand his resignation. But this is Trump’s government. He supports Pruitt although he has committed more than a dozen ethics violations and crimes against the American people.

Pruitt’s use of taxpayer dollars to fund his personal ambitions and to further his and his wife’s personal financial security would have demanded his resignation under every other administration. If President Obama had experienced any member of his administration who committed such heinous crimes, Republican hypocrites would have been screaming to the press. This failing Republican Party is an embarrassment to our nation. They have chosen to accept and support Trump’s fascist regime.

A question: Do you love your country? I am asking this question related not to today’s failed administration but related to the nation created by our founding fathers. This nation does not exist today. Trump is a puppet of Vladimir Putin, and expresses his belief in the policies of Adolf Hitler.

In any other administration in history Pruitt would not have been nominated, confirmed, or be in his position today. I am ashamed of my illegitimate government and its blatant denial of the America I have cherished for 70+ years.

Republicans must be removed from office in November. I beg you to please pass this article on to any of your family and friends who love the nation established in 1789. Thank you.
