about their past work as if they're looking to purge those wacky man-made climate change believers, of course he's going to go after his enemies. And by "enemies" he means anyone who's ever uttered less than glowing flattery of him.
Trump has shown he has a mean streak, is vengeful, never forgets past slights, and will go out of his way to hurt people who disagree with him. And now he has the full powers of the federal government behind him. Forget about support from Congress - the Senate majority's leader's wife has already been given a plum cabinet post.
