So so many things that Trump is doing are so so wrong.



The $$$ comes from our National Parks. Our parks need it! It’s supposed to stay in the park system to improve or hire needed staff. Trump’s stealing it. He should’ve put vanity projects into his budget last year!

CONGRESS SHOULD’VE STOPPED THIS IN OVERSIGHT!

Our Congress is failing the country!

Steve Bannon's "flood the zone with shit" strategy makes it impossible to fight every battle, which ultimately normalizes fraud and abuse.

When I see the gold this decrepit egomaniac has splattered over our nation's Capitol, it looks like shit to me.

I have friends who work for the park service getting creamed by visitors flocking to Yosemite with NO RESERVATION SYSTEM in place to control the volume coming. The money they are bringing in is not being used to help them and improve the visitor experience but rather to shovel billions to one of his cronys who did not know what they were doing and fucking up the reflecting poo . We now see what a waste of taxpayer money this was and how it could have been used to help all National Parks.
