Trump is laying the groundwork to privatize America's national parks | Jonathan B Jarvis and Gary Machlis

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Bolstered by "free market acolytes" that have long pursued the parks as unrealized business opportunities, antipathy to public service, and the absence of congressional oversight, privatizing our national parks is now in their sights.
43% : Trump officials will begin to find ways around the law, Congress and the public to eliminate the NPS and centralize control among the Doge staff embedded at the Department of the Interior as a step toward putting the parks in the hands of private developers.
36% : And President Trump should perhaps reread the words of President Roosevelt: What you can do is keep it ... for all that come after you.
13% : But the president appears ready to cut its budget and let it fail Theodore Roosevelt, to whom Donald Trump has likened himself, used his executive power to double the size of the national park system and expand protection of American natural landscapes and historic landmarks.
