If you ask Bill Wade, executive director for the Association of National Park Rangers, the new design may not be a selling point. “Given the damage that the Trump administration has done to America’s National Parks and their employees, I would not purchase one of these passes with his image on it,” he told SFGATE. “I would pay separately at each park to help that park overcome the damage.”
The foreign visitors pay more thing is hilarious, though. In my travels only the most Third World, backward and poor countries do that.
It sounds like the “park ranger” lefties need purged very badly. Fire at least 1/2 of them to start. If anyone there complains...fire them.
“The foreign visitors pay more thing is hilarious, though”
I agree. I think Trump - in the absence of real budget cutting - is often looking for revenue in wrong places.
So it’s a ‘mock up’ of the new design, is it actually the approved new design or something put out by one of the communists still polluting our government?
The point is not revenue but rather retribution
It should. I hate it when states have big signs on their highways promoting their governors.
Trump’s risk is overexposure, not underexposure.
Put your money where your mouth is, TDS conservationists. Pay full fare to enter the parks instead of the annual pass.
They won’t.

Blaming tourists for dumb things their governments do is just dumb. What you want to do is give tourists a better face of ourselves than their government portrays of us.
Outraged libs? Gee, that's never happened before. /rimshot
