President Trump holds up a pen after signing an executive order at the Environmental Protection Agency headquarters in Washington on Tuesday. (Ron Sachs/Bloomberg News)The email arrived at lunchtime Tuesday from a top aide to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt. “Our Big Day Today!” read the subject line of the message, which went to thousands of EPA employees. It detailed how President Trump would be visiting the agency, whose budget he recently proposed cutting by nearly a third, to sign a sweeping executive order aimed at unraveling efforts by President Barack Obama’s administration to combat climate change. In the Map Room, Trump sat at a small table and scribbled his signature on the order.
