Doug Burgum, the Regime Toady of Our Time

The Revolving Door Project, a Prospect partner, scrutinizes the executive branch and presidential power. Follow them at therevolvingdoorproject.org.

According to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Donald Trump is the “king of PEACE”—an odd position for a Lutheran like Burgum, as it would rank Trump above the “Prince of Peace,” Jesus Christ—and Europeans should be “cheering” for him to annex Greenland. It’s also odd for the interior secretary, whose duties principally concern federal lands, to be commenting on European opinion.
