President Trump praised his newly sworn-in head of the Environmental Protection Agency at his rally in Melbourne, Fla., saying he'll represent a "big difference" in reversing the actions of the Obama administration that were "clogging up the veins of our country."
"He'll do so good," Trump told the crowd.
..
Trump's former head of the EPA transition, Myron Ebell, told media outlets that the administration is looking to cut the agency's staff by two-thirds, dropping from 15,000 to 5,000 employees.

Hahaha...WINNING!!! Where these government “workers” find employment...they definitely don’t want to work.
I want the EPA out of my gutters.
Who knows how many contractors they fund.
And not only that. Our President continues to be out there, surrounded by us little folk, listening and sharing what he's accomplishing.
DC is shocked.... He's representing the people who elected him.
The EPA is a good idea that was perverted and twisted out of recognition by lefty statistics. A seasonal mud puddle in my yard is not a wetland.
haha. I believe he is!!!! :D
The idea was to reduce pollution that crossed state lines. Fine.
It became a way to control every aspect of life.
When you need an “environmental impact study” to obtain permission to build a mall, because it impacts the economic prospects of stores in the downtown, that is not dealing with pollution, it is central planning writ large.
Hah, the EPA’s control over every puddle or pond on private homeowners’ property is about to come to a screeching halt. And the EPA will have its staff cut from 15,000 to 5,000. The EPA is chock full of unelected fascist tyrants, making life miserable for small property owners throughout our country with its rules and regulations, as well as destroying entire industries.
The EPA almost succeeded in polishing off the coal mining industry, one of our major sources of fuel, not only in this country but throughout the world. Trump should make it possible for our coal mining owners to be able to ship their product offshore to countries that need it as another source of income for our coal mining industry. Currently they can’t sell worldwide.
Obama wanted coal mining to be so expensive that the industry would fail; Hillary Clinton stated she wanted to put coal miners out of work. They are gone; a new sheriff is in town, just in the nick of time, to save this vital industry, and the jobs of the mine workers. Trump to the rescue, thank goodness.
And he can retort that coal is found in seams and veins - not arteries....
That would certainly be a good start, but hardly sufficient.
“If Trump can get the mines back up and running and the average household ‘s electric bill down then would be like a tax cut.”
Exactly right.
I agree completely, but in the midwest there were at least five or more coal fired power plants closed up, shuttered, shut down, nearly twenty years early due to EPA BS and have already been reduced to rubble, and replaced with gas fired units that are far more expensive to operate than the payed for coal units that state agencies and coops were all in on destroying to avoid their own destruction through the EPA train wreck.
Thus a giant travesty played out in the eight years of the b@@@k A$$#d B#####ds reign of destruction. I won’t soon be forgetting what he perpetrated on the power generation industry and the folks who for years fueled it at affordable rates so that American’s could enjoy the fruits of affordable power. Don’t rightly know how many total coal fired plants were destroyed in the eight years of his hated and hatefull reign but any were too many. May he enjoy his taxpayer funded retirement.
Meanwhile we labor under the ever increasing cost of electricity thanks to our former presidents policies.
They should just shut it down.
Two words: hiring freeze
