3. The Appointment of Scott Pruitt as EPA Administrator echos Orwell's 1984.

On February 17, 2017, Scott Pruitt was selected Administrator of the EPA by Trump. This was a seemingly controversial move, as Pruitt had spent most of his career countering environmental policy. He did not have previous experience in the field and had received financial support from the fossil fuel industry.

You'll recall that the purpose of the Ministry of Truth was propaganda, the Ministry of Peace was in charge of waging war, the Ministry of Plenty suppressed the economy, and the Ministry of Love was where Winston Smith was tortured. It's fitting that the goal of Trump's Environmental Protection Agency should be destroying the environment.

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”

“But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.”

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

“Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.”
