President Donald Trump poses for a photo during a signing ceremony for H.R. 1957 – "The Great American Outdoors Act," in the East Room of the White House, Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2020, in Washington.
“There hasn’t been anything like this since Teddy Roosevelt, I suspect,” Trump said, seemingly comparing himself to the 26th president, an avowed environmentalist who created many national parks, forests and monuments that millions of Americans flock to each year.is the most significant conservation legislation enacted in nearly half a century. Opponents countered that the money isn’t enough to cover the estimated $20 billion maintenance backlog on federally owned lands.
Trump in the budget proposals he has sent to Congress had previously recommended cutting money allocated to the fund, but reversed course and requested full funding in March.The maintenance backlog has been a problem for decades, through Republican and Democratic administrations. Trump falsely claimed it was caused by the “last administration.”this summer, including significant support from congressional Democrats.
Puppies for everyone.
If this was a Democrat president this would be a media coverage frenzy love fest. This significant conservation bill signed into law barely registered. mediabias realDonaldTrump
He's trying to be an FDR clone. It ain't working. He'll try to use it to build a wall... you know it's coming.
But the stimulus package? Nah, f em, we need park protection
_Politics it was 1 billion a year
What would help also in the need for a global multi-national effort to reclaim the property that has been damaged and is needed to be restored. Lifelong jobs and training and credits.
The Republicans must be shocked and confused - probably suspecting there is something wrong with him.
Conservation? Empty conservation lands are being fracked at an alarming rate, Cali alone looks like a pin cushion
Concerving means kept for the rich luciferians and we r not allowed on it these creatures without souls think they own this land and us, Gods land and Gods children belong to God not isreal
A veto would have been over-ridden. He gets credit?
Too little too late!
Wonderful news. I am encouraged by the fact it was a bipartisan bill. There is still hope for America.
Its just to try to win over people . Let him claim to do it. But i still wont vote for this piece of shit. Biden can finish it. DumpTrump2020 IdiotTrump
I this for Yo sem mites ? DumpTrump2020 IdiotTrump
maggieNYT It's his effing job. Just stop the sychopantism, it's sickening.
I wonder if idiot liberals are triggered below: let’s take a look shall we....👇🏻
And the beauty of “Yo-Semite”.
We give Israel 13 BILLION a Year of tax payers money for no reason ans it's the size of Delaware but America itself in it's entirety only gets 3 billion and this bafoon wants me to vote for him again?
Trying to take credit for something he hates with a passion -drill baby drill, Trump rolled back every environmental bill he could- clean - Air, Water Acts - opened up some of the most beautiful lands - to mining, drilling, building - he’s no hero, it’s just election time
Is that before or after they drill/mine and sell of more land?
maggieNYT Probably the only really good bill he has signed since in office. Bipartisan. How did that happen. I don’t know, but I’ll take it.
Big deal, he funded stuff that needed funding anyway and would be a nothingburger if a Dem signed it. He gets zero claps because of ask of the pro-environment regs he rolled back for big business. Bunch of BS for election year.
4 years in office and today is the first bill that helped America
Too little too late!
maggieNYT Both parties agreed on this But both parties can't work out unemployment issues, great people Great people
Just for election year. He does not give a shit about the outdoors. This is not a pass.
Why no masks. Seems irresponsible
Did Trump do this before or after he signed another one of his Executive Orders rolling back environmental and workers' protection Regs so that Big Corporations can now pollute more and disregard worker safety to make a few more bucks?
That sounds like a really really great idea at a really really bad time. We can’t afford it.
But he is trying to sell our private lands to comercial developers for gas, oil and mineral extraction. No free pass for him on this.
I'll applaud that 👏
That’s great 👏🏼 (small, slow clap); now, let’s talk stimuluspackage
TeachersaurusRx this one is for you
Gotta try to get votes somehow. Anyone with a shred of intelligence knows this is smoke for an election year and they’ll be back to shooting near cubs next year. Disgusting.
maggieNYT Can Don Jr. and Eric trophy hunt on the land? And can the tax payers foot the bill?
He previously want to drill on National parks land
Sorry, but that's not enough to make me vote for him. My Rep voted NO, even those Yosemite is in OUR district.
maggieNYT He will lease all the land to frackers tomorrow. This is a meaningless gesture. frackingkills
thank you Mr. President
Liberals are outraged.
Trump's contribution: that gross seismogram scribble.
Hopefully fix all federal property the BLM / Antifa destroyed !
Well, this may be the single useful piece of legislation to come out of this nightmare.
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen faked presidential election in January, 2020. The total ticket number was pre-printed ahead of time! OMG！
except many national parks are susceptible to mining and drilling, per tRump
I wonder why.
Bare minimal president
Way to do one non douchebag thing in your entire administration.
TRUMP BAD
What’s the catch? He’d put a pipeline through the Grand Canyon if it benefited him. He must be getting something out of this, or else didn’t understand what he was signing.
imagine what the parks could have done with the billions hes given to big business tax breaks.
Finally, something good.
Even a broken watch is right twice a day
Is Trump CANCELLING all the 'Executive Orders' he issued to DESTROY 'the Majesty of America’s National Parks and Public Lands'? Is he going to re-establish and re-fund all the agencies he cancelled that were ENTRUSTED with PROTECTING them?
Temporarily banking it for more wall money.
Must be a joke.
As someone who loves the outdoors this is amazing
Allocate some of those funds to educate visitors to national parks how to visit and leave no trace. It's disgraceful what is being done, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. People not only litter, they carve into trees, walk off the trails destroying fragile vegetation ...
Trump is really getting desperate.
Somehow I think there’s a catch. I just don’t trust the guy.
2222vj dwyerinthewoods
maggieNYT Yo, Semite!
While simultaneously undoing needed regulations for the air we breathe, our water, our wild spaces and wildlife.
Yo-Sem-Ite!
Even a broken clock...
Wow, he did something that wasn't for himself?
So Trump first cut the budget of the Interior, then now brings it back? Why the change of heart all of a sudden?
Me President It’s great what he just did. What about humanity. -People? Right within the US. Pass that stimulus check for those who can’t cope. Medical supplies for the sick. Rent? It’s been 6 months. Come on now.
This is good but he doesnt get a pass on rolling back laws that protect public land; the environment and wildlife!
maggieNYT Much needed but he rolled back all of the EPA regulations so the air quality and waterways will be polluted so it won’t matter. Is this to help with reelection?I think he should put back the EPA regulations before we spend 3B on conservation that won’t survive! TrumpVirus
The great outdoors is so American.
maggieNYT he looks miserable signing something that may not sicken or kill people of color
maggieNYT Look at Donnie and family trying to rush and do presidential things before 11/3/20
_Politics Too little too late
This was CoryGardner plan.. it won't save his seat in November
People need food, shelter, healthcare. When your hungry eat a swing at a park. dumb
maggieNYT he didn't write the bill. I doubt he read the bill.
So you’re going with the “trump is a conservationist” headline? OK, then.
Bomb an interview? Quick! Sign a bipartisan bill!
maggieNYT What a child
Trump 2020
What's in it fa him!😎
One trick pony. But it’s actually a Trojan Horse for those who vote for Trump in November.
This is all smoke and mirrors. He has to to be the least conservation-minded President we’ve ever had
A spot of good news
maggieNYT Something not right about this. Don't trust Don the Con!
Just sign a bill to restore the very things YOU help destroy. Now he'll try to take credit for helping the environment. Is this how we're WINNING?
maggieNYT He did it for Black people
Yet he allowed for the killing of small bear cubs in AK.
At the same time, he opened up millions of acres of park land to mining and oil drilling.
Yo-se-mite !!
Environment should not be a partisan issue!
maggieNYT And the people who adore Yo-Semite National Park are THRILLED!
Did he have stuff rolled back so he could reinstate it like it was his idea?
Best president ever - Trump 2020
maggieNYT Why do you applaud him for something he allowed to expire in 2018? This bill allows for maintenance and backlog of payroll. Please state specifically what conservation efforts are in that bill. His EPA allows for poisons sprayed in the air and water. EPAAWheeler Right?
maggieNYT The one he was trying to slash a few months ago
Best President ever!!!
I just hope Muir isn't rolling over in his grave.
maggieNYT He finally gets to rake the forests
Trump probably thought it was for “conservative” projects...
He also opened anwr to drilling and allowed the pillaging of federal land. So.
'YO SEMITES' - Donald Trump
How many Golfcourses?
maggieNYT Photo op. Nothing more. How much was devoted to 'conservation' projects by prior administrations?
...'Moises II.
Yo Semite.
Wait, what? I thought Trump hated the environment. More lies of the MSM exposed. EnemyOfThePeople EnemyOfKnowledge EnemyOfTheTruth
Too little, too late to garnish votes.
But only those belonging to the YO- SEMITES will be getting any!
maggieNYT All he did was sign it because he was told to. No credit to Trump.
Uh oh, Trump's going back to his Democrat roots! Have fun y'all
maggieNYT Um hi AP...over here: maybe update tweet to include “...Dems not invited to bill signing despite bipartisan support.”
maggieNYT As he sells off lands to his buddies
This confused me, so had to research. Knew I wasn't going crazy: 'The Trump administration is responsible for the largest reduction of federally protected land in U.S. history, according to a recent study by the journal Science.' Change of heart?
Now he’s all about the environment 🤔 must be making up for that deregulation in an election year
The liberal’s are not going to be happy about this ,, wow !!
maggieNYT YO!
A good and necessary bill, but akin to committing to mowing your lawn. This is the least we should expect from our federal government. To not let the public realm fall into complete disrepair. Now fund the USPS!
legalize weed or somethin
Billion, with a B.
Just like Hitler, amirite? Guys?
What about all the land he opened up for purchase to corporations for minings and clear-cutting? What about that? Distractions against his crimes, as always.
Wonder who wrote that bill? Oh that's right, HouseDemocrats !
Pennies.
There are masks...and there are MASKS!!!
What’s the catch?
DeadlyDistraction
LOVE IT BUT NOT THE BILL WE NEED TODAY!!
'Prosecutors hint at probe into 'possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization'' 😷
God Bless America!
