Sure Ryan Zinke believes in climate change, he just doesn't care about stopping it whatsoever.
Trump illegally shrinks Utah monuments, riling tribes and environmentalists

And therefore THIS dipshit thinks it would only be fair to have the DoE flag flying over DoE headquarters when HE is there? That takes a very special kind of asshole.
To be fair, however, I don't think he got the idea from the Queen of England/Britain. Zinke used to be in the Navy, and he probably got the idea from flag officers. If an admiral is on the ship, they'll fly the admiral's flag. I'm sure that's what Zinke had in mind when he made them do that.
So....Zinke is upbraiding Trump in at least two ways:
1. Zinke has a BIGGER SECURITY DETAIL than Trump. He has more body guards than the f-ing PRESIDENT, and
2. He gets his own FLAG, which they're only allowed to raise when HE'S there. Even the President doesn't do that.
My understanding of Trump is that the one thing he can't stand is for any of his minions to get more publicity than he does. That's why he fired Bannon. So...is Zinke Pinky NEXT?
