Teddy Roosevelt, a real Republican President, believed that our wilderness areas were one of our greatest national treasures. Unlike the current administration, his accomplishments were many, but he considered the beginning of our National Park System his crowning achievement. 109 years later, Donald Trump and his Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, have begun the destruction of some of the areas most revered and loved by our 26th president.
Today, in protest, 10 of the 12 National Park Service advisory board resigned. (The attached article mentioned nine resignations, but as I began to write this, a 10th member joined her predecessors.) Zinke has refused to attend meetings with the board, following the example of his fuhrer, Donald Trump.
“Our requests to engage have been ignored and the matters on which we wanted to brief the new department team are clearly not part of its agenda,” the letter says. “I have a profound concern that the mission of stewardship, protection, and advancement of our National Parks has been set aside.”
This is more proof that Trump and his circle of sinners will be remembered as the most destructive administration in American history.
Trump’s support of big business is deplorable. He has no interest in the people or our nation. His support of the petroleum industry; allowing them to drill without restriction; is deplorable. It is easy to understand why Trump has become the most hated man in the world in less than a year.
Zinke is just another of the many poor choices made by the worst president in American history. Trump is either suffering from senile dementia, or is a paranoid schizophrenic.
Please help me spread the truth; thank you.
