That's because the national parks aren't really seen as national parks by these people. They're seen as future mining/timber/grazing/drilling sites.

Eventually Park Service employees will be treated as little more than security for corporations ruining the land to keep taxpayers off the land at their own expense.

Trump is a sick individual.

Even his own followers don't realize what is going on.

Taking from the public --- for his own pet projects is Trump's worldview.

He thinks it's all his private property.

I used to think Coriolanus was extreme,like his example in #1 for example.

No Longer.

Not just the NPS, but US taxpayer money in general.

Look at his apparent desire to pay out millions to the J6 criminals he pardoned.
