WTF? I can only think of three reasons he’d want an “old” (does that mean used?) mattress from a hotel.
A) To get rid of DNA evidence.
B) To sniff it.
C) To sleep in the same bed donnie did. This is probably the goal of all true and loyal trump lickspittles.
Or maybe, since Pruitt is batshit crazy, it’s all of the above.
The whole thing brings to mind the episode of Monk when he took the black light wand from the crime scene work-up kit and inspected a ‘clean’ hotel room for traces of body fluids… A combination of hilarity and grossness ensued.
Made me want to surrender all my frequent flyer miles… Could not imagine bringing a ‘used’ hotel mattress into my home.
Excuse me! I did not invite that image! 
Please, make it go away!!!
“This mattress smells like pee!”
It has been rudely foisted onto my awareness, of late.
Not to take away from this, but “Millan Hupp” sounds weirdly like a porn name… or the answer to how much Pruitt wanted to get from the EPA job: “A mil and up.”
Perhaps he thinks it will put him in solid with Donald *uck?
With that headline I thought that Pruitt wanted to get his DNA out of possible evidence for proof of his trysting place at a Trump Hotel pied-à-terre.
Turns out to be more Penny Ante
Maybe there were bribes stuffed in that mattress…
Rank in order of probability:
This really makes no sense. A guy with his financial abilities and connections wants a used mattress? There had to be a crime committed with it.
pee stains are extra.
Makes me wonder what happened to the sheets. Seriously this is the most paranoid guy in that administration, and I’m guessing for good reason.
Maybe a close aide, one that has been “a longtime friend, dating back to his days in Oklahoma,” one that is “willing” to take on “personal requests” because of their “personal friendship”.
“Well, we worked very closely together and spent a lot of time together,” she said. “I traveled with him, so naturally a friendship developed.”
Naturally.
Maybe a used mattress is recommended for cheaters. That way they can’t be caught by what shows up in the stuffing. “It was already there, Honey. Not mine!”
“You lack vision, but I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on all day, all night. Soon, where America once stood will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food. Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see. My God, it’ll be beautiful.”
The Ghost of Eustace Tilly has been pretty quiet lately, I miss him…
OK, that has got me thinking.
The immediate conclusion is that he would want the mattress to cover his own DNA trail. But it’s just as likely he wants it to provide a bit of “security” on someone else. Hmmm.
The aide claiming she never followed through actually makes this scenario more likely - maybe there were limits to how much she wanted to expose herself legally.
If he just wanted the Trump Int’l pick for mattresses, almost by definition the best in the world (right, Donald?), he could have bought one new - just find out what it is and where he can get one himself. I’m sure Trump would be flattered by the request.
