Naw... Taft war road-kill due to collision with one these big boys:

House lawmakers kicked off their effort to push back against national monuments designations, targeting the large swaths of ocean the Obama administration made off limits to fishing.
“I don’t believe the Antiquities Act should have ever been applied to oceans,” Alaska Republican Rep. Don Young said during a Wednesday hearing on marine monument designations. “There was never intent of that.”
Republicans on the House Committee on Natural Resources have long criticized former President Barack Obama’s use of the Antiquities Act to put millions of square miles off limits to commercial fishing with little to no input from locals.
With President Donald Trump in office and pending legal challenges, Republicans believe they can roll back some of Obama’s marine monuments or at least the restrictions on commercial fishing that were imposed with little to no input from local industries.
Committee chairman Utah Rep. Rob Bishop and American Samoa Rep. Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen sent a letter to Trump in early March urging the removal of restrictions on commercial fishing in marine monuments.

Hope Trump includes the hundreds of square miles in the Desert SW, where he flies into his retreat just outside of Palm Springs.
Historically, I don’t think any President ever went to un-designate something. If you go back to Taft....he’s the one who attempted to redo Teddy’s national forest deal that was done, and this unraveled Taft’s 2nd election chances.
Bump!
Naw... Taft war road-kill due to collision with one these big boys:
If You Like Your Legacy, You Can Keep Your Legacy.
(except when you can't)
Go back to the Pinchot-Ballinger controversy. Taft prior to 1909....was buddy-buddy with Teddy. After the episode, they were no longer friends, and Teddy returned in 1912 to run again. It’s a four-star story worth a movie how these two came to hate each other.

I think we have enough national parks.
The government cannot take carecof the ones they have
Give Utah back thier land too.
Time is short. Skip this nonsense and work on more important things like real repeal/replace of Obamacare, building the wall, enforcing our immigration laws, deporting illegal aliens, and ending birthright citizenship. And eliminating regulations and lowering taxes. Yep, a lot more important things to do than undo monuments and parks. Besides, I’m sure Trump will designate his share over the next 4-8 years just like all recent presidents. This is a waste of time and distraction. PRIORITIZE!
Trump should announce that he wants to make Obama’s birthplace a National Monument, but the government of Kenya won’t allow it.
NONE OF THESE LANDS EVER BELONGED TO THE STATES. Why to people keep saying give it back?! It began and federal lands, it remains as federal lands. I, for one, am happy with that federal ownership. What I want to see is more or better use and access to it. Stop shutting down roads, as one example.
Yeah, we love parks.
After that, they should start selling off some Federal land.
Other states may not care about this stuff, but Clinton and Obama created no-touchy monument footprints in the Mountain West the size of some eastern states, locking up unknown trillions of btu’s of energy sources and putting limits on recreational use.
So, you're saying it was the larger western bull moose which did in ol' Taft?
This President doesn’t play the “no President ever” game. They say the same thing about getting rid of entitlements and reducing the bureaucracy. Sit back and watch.
