The internet is collectively rejoicing now that Scott Pruitt has resigned as EPA head.

Trump announced Pruitt's resignation, effective Monday, through Twitter. The now former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator not only did the complete opposite of protecting the environment with Reagan-like policies, but also led an administration ridden with ridiculous scandals.

Despite what Trump called "an outstanding job," Pruitt's legacy will forever be known as the grifter who spent a ridiculous amount of taxpayer money not doing his job.

Twitter users were quick to post their reactions to Pruitt's resignation.

Some couldn't help pointing out Pruitt's grifter habits. From the $2,749.62 he spent on "tactical pants" and "tactical polos" to his absurd obsession with buying a used mattress from a Trump hotel. Oh, and much like scam queen Anna Delvey, Pruitt apparently made his staffers pay for his fancy hotel reservations with their personal credit cards, and then never paid them back.

Twitter users also guessed who Trump would pick for Pruitt's replacement. Knowing his track record and complete disregard for conservation efforts, it's not looking good.
