Trump's destruction of America as we know it continues.
Despite the parks’ successes, President Trump is privatizing most of the 400 owned U.S. sites and 59 National Parks. He’s cutting funds for lands where low-income and middle-class Americans have escaped to for a century.
Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke announced that the Trump administration plans to utilize “public-private partnerships” so that Trump can cut $1.5 billion from the department’s budget. “Public-private partnership,” says the non-profit National Resources Defense Council, is “code for privatizing the management of our national park system. The idea is both unpopular (huge majorities of Americans in virtually every demographic oppose privatization) and unwise (our national parks are a public good and therefore should be publicly managed).”
