Diction: Trump often speaks in short, simple sentences, while the author of the article writes with complex sentences and intellectual speech, with the author introducing sentences like, "The agency also has an 18-member Board of Scientific Counselors, made up of scholars, which offers guidance on the quality the EPA scientists’ research."
Devices: This article appeals to logos with many facts and numbers about the EPA organization. This includes how the organization helps to protect our environment and promote a healthier way of conservation.
Tone: The tone of this article is informative to the readers and critical of Donald Trump's actions against the members of the EPA.
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to acknowledge the possible future of the EPA, our planet as a living space, and environment as a whole when our president believes that climate change and global warming are hoaxes.
Argument: Many counselors had their positions terminated by Trump, unnecessarily and shockingly. The American mainstream may not have been thinking about the impact on the EPA when they voted last November, but the fact remains that it’s going to take a long time to repair the agency after Trump and his team are done with it.
