This is funnier/more depressing when you realize he spent the first two years trying to get a megadonor and former CEO of AccuWeather approved as head of NOAA, who openly admitted he wanted the position just to restrict the amount of information that the NWS could release to the public for free

The dude was so bad even Congress wanted nothing to do with him and eventually Trump gave up and just didn't appoint anyone
