Smart move, a big chunk of the electorate has a soft spot for the NPS.
OMG! He keeps his word. That is unheard of. I wonder if any of the multi-million dollar per year talking faces donate to anything?
Wonderful.!!great idea. Mant Nationlalpark ares need to be released . Far to much land was needlessly included by Obama. In fact he included the entire MIDWAY ISLAND!! That is not a park!! Its a big coral reef that housed 15,000 airman at one time. What bozo.
Yea, I’d like to see it donated to non-Government organizations.
Making the media and democrats (but I repeat myself) look like fools since he announced. This man is brilliant.
My thought exactly.
Fyi. (I recall you having doubts that Trump would actually donate his salary. This should lay those misgivings to rest.)
NPS that closed our parks in the last gov’t ‘shutdown’?
The media is looking for a way to make this bad news.
Yes, they will find/manufacture a fake problem with it.
Oh the evil of this man knows no bounds!
Under Obama’s direction.
I never doubted it. The presidential salary is nothing to him.
I was on the phone during the press conference, and when I hung up I heard the tail end of an answer about trust funds. I didn’t know if someone was questioning how Trump is paying his own expenses. These people don’t get that Trump didn’t want to be president to enrich himself, he didn’t need to!
I never doubting the President would keep his word.
Thank you, Mr. President.
If she had won, I can’t imagine Money-Grubber-in-Chief Clinton doing anything remotely like this. We’d probably be on our first pay-to-play scandal at this point.
bkmk
It was Obama who shut down our parks.
