Last wilderness
Trump made so many messes they’re still having to fix them.
The Biden administration has halted a Trump-era plan to approve a mining road in Alaska that would cut through indigenous land and alter one of the last roadless wildernesses in the US.
That’s so Trump. How he must have loved it – indigenous land and roadless wilderness to harm and damage and ruin. Not one act of destruction but two; what larks!
The road “represents a fundamental threat to our people, our subsistence way of life and our cultural resources,” said Brian Ridley, president of the Tanana Chiefs Conference, which represents 42 tribes in Alaska. “We appreciate that the federal government recognized the flaws in the previous administration’s decisions to permit the road.”
One more bin to empty.
I wouldn’t be remotely surprised if Trump actually has no recollection of signing any such thing. I wouldn’t be remotely surprised to find that he signed everything put in front of him, without reading it, just to get it out of the way; and what was put in front of him depended entirely upon the size of the bribe (sorry, ‘campaign contributions’) paid to the politician who presented the documents for signing.
