We should not tear from the earth that which is not ours. Leave a child to its mother, for God's sake, if you call yourself a Christian. Stewardship not ownership

DonaldTrump puts this out there to anger people. That's his agenda (who will it piss off). It's sad. Agencies will waste $$/sue each other because that's how Trump rolls. None of it ever comes out of his pocket. He's an entitled/spoiled child. ExtinctionAdministration Tongass

😡

Trump's mission - destroy us and our world

Disgusting

GreatDismal Not one a republican will care; they’ll probably cheer. Deplorables

Come on man

thedavidcrosby ... outrageous , TrumpIsACriminal against the future.

Better to manage a forest than let it burn from the piled up brush. Alaska saw more fire this year than any other state in the US.

Logging...that's where houses come from. Hooray logging!

9000% sure this is something Lex Luthor tried doing that to the JL... realDonaldTrump you aren’t even an original douche bag just a copy cat one that’s sad

Terrible idea.

GreatDismal I have watched the goldmining in Alaska TV series on Nat. Geo. channel and it's absolutely horryfying. Trees felled with bulldozers, streams rerouted and permafrost melted with water cannons. Total destruction of the nature just to get the gold. But by all means, let's have more!

No, just NO!

CAJinSB Nooooooooo

More greed and destruction. How can people support this criminal, trump?

thedavidcrosby Welp, Alaska is a red state. The folks who live there are responsible for its destruction. Problem is, like everything trump and republican based, we all suffer the consequences. Thanks again trump supporters.

This guy is out of control. If he is elected again there will be nothing left by the time he is gone.

Noooooooooooo

Ugghhhghhhhhhhhhggggghhhh.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somebody please stop this madness!!!

😠

🤬

Smdh

I'm pretty sure that somehow this will benefit Putin, too.

The SenateGOP and HouseGOP must back off on thoughts of deforestation & preserve our National Forests.

LindseyGrahamSC If you feel badly abt what tRump has done to the Kurds and our Army, stand up against this

And in other forestry management news... California is ablaze yet again. Reports are 1 million without power all as the precious redwoods go up in flames. rainforest Management moloch

The Trump administration continues to be the absolute worst.

😡😡😡😡😡

No thank you.

Well he's bring the Republicants down with him so why not mother earth as well. Sad!

A$$hole realdonaldtrump

ElGuapo1888 Just hiked the Grand Canyon. Let's keep Trump and Co's dirty traitorous hands off our parks. STOP KILLING TREES!

Is he trying to make every living thing on earth think he’s an asshole?

It just never ends with this reprehensible pile of trash in the White House.

Cannot wait for this manchild to leave the WH. Hopefully the next Pres. will be able to reverse this course of destruction.

Cool just gonna go break some things and scream into the void brb

Unbelievable 😢

The term “rape“ isn’t appropriate for this situation, because I don’t want the word lose its meaning for the horrible psychological & physical criminality involved. But I am comfortable calling this “pillaging our country’s assets” enrich a few more of Trump’s pals NoToTongass

Good god.

Of course. Trees don't stay at his hotels.

Sucks.

Alaska needs ro defie that order

Every horrible thing gets an enthusiastic YES from them. Destroy forests, air, water, bees, people...if they can make money on it, they're all in. It's gross.

No. No. No. Stop this madness!

Before it’s underwater dig it

When is enough, enough for these people.

Because there isn't anyone or anything they aren't willing to slash and burn.

Cannot wait for this man hold to be out of the WH and hope and pray the next Pres reverses this festrucyive course.

Trump has done enough damage.

GOP SNEAKING THIS STUFF IN UNDER THE COVER OF TRUMP'S TREASON

Jesus...nothing is sacred to his business cronies anymore.

The world can not be rid of this idiot fast enough

Once again, we see the GOP and its friends are hostile towards anything to do with the environment. Yet people still vote for them. Is the US a country of complete ignorance?

Yeah it's called logging it goes on everywhere

Please don’t let this fool do this

: Trump admin proposing to exempt Alaska's Tongass National Forest — largest intact temperate rainforest...

Correction— Another ( not mother)

Constant economic growth is not sustainable! How do we thrive when there’s nothing left?

Yikes!

Mother desecration of our earth.

StopTrump

Of course they are.

Because of course they are.

Sarah Palin will have a much better view of Russia.

NPR Choice pageThey attacked her like they attacked Biden in the first debate. They were kind of douchey. Reminded me of a bunch of chihuahuas trying to take down a Great Dane. Women are never unrealistic or expensive Warren is far from surging. She would be easy Pickens for Republicans. Gaping holes in most of her positions. Mayor Pete would make a much more formidable candidate. You can see the liberal press trying to get behind her, that’s where their values are, way way left...out there..

NPR Choice pageThat's too funny. 'Climate change causes the oceans to rise' LOL One of the many reasons we fight for climate change. The Pacific Ocean is the biggest heat sink in the world. We can't have this destroyed by shrinking icebergs, land mass, and killing off our sea life.
