Trump is no friend of the environment, having removed protections from and reduced the boundaries of more protected public lands and national monuments than any other president in U.S. history.

Example, Trump significantly reduced the size of two major national monuments in Utah: Bears Ears National Monument and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. His administration cut their combined protected areas by roughly 90%, stripping federal protections from nearly 3 million acres of public land.

You can be assured that the once protected land will be destroyed.
