National Parks: Free entry on Trump’s birthday.

[JLW]

In 2026, Americans will get free admission to national parks on President Donald Trump's birthday but no longer on Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day, according to the National Park Service website.

Now can you imagine what the reaction from the right-wing would have been if Obama or Biden ordered that all national parks were to give free admission to all Americans on his birthday.

At least with MLK and Juneteenth they are federal holidays.

I guess when the next president comes into office he can cancel Trump’s birthday and make his/her birthday free admission day. Why stop at parks, why not give federal employees a day off with pay!

It is just weird and just another deterioration of the norms that used to govern the presidency.

It's the same self-aggrandizing bullshit he's known for.

I fully expect him to try to rename a city or something soon.

Absolutely. It is only a matter of time before Trump goes full Kim Jong Un.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Given what a one week pass costs these days Trump is doing everyone a solid.

Meh, if it was just some random day the vile dems would ***** about it.

He's the one who raised the prices IIRC.

Seems pretty similar to telling you he's gonna give you your tariff money back as a "bonus" for "free".

Removing both Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth is another manifestation of the racist Trump regime.

The handful of Museums owned by the federal government are free every day they are open except for the Cooper Hewitt which is largely self-financed through admission prices and big dollar donations. I think part of Cooper Hewitt is free to the public and parts of it require tickets.

I'd be OK with those if Trump gave us a European Heritage Month.

You are correct. Museums run by the federal government are free to the public. I stand corrected. I edited my OP.

With a big dollop of built in racism, to boot!

Yes the next step from a Constitutional Republic. Free National park entry directly to Dictatorship…

Sadly, that's no longer a farfetched idea.

He is probably squatting on the rights to the name "TrumpTown, USA" for an amusement park.

LMAO, a Trump amusement park, I can see it now. The most greatest amusement park ever. Beautiful, like the world has never seen before. Big ass statue of Trump as you walk in, the famous "shot moment", memorialized in Bronze. The most over-hyped flea market ever, because that is all the Trump amusement park is, a damn flea market with hucksters, thieves, and worse. All grifting and all kicking back to "the man".

The United States of Trump has a nice ring to it, but magadonians would all have to buy a new red hat. MTGA
