i can't believe i am saying this, but...chump allegedly is thinking about derailing the huge gold mine in the headwaters of Alaskas Bristol Bay, one of the most productive fisheries & environmentally sensitive places on the planet. probably "fake news" however, since i read about it on MSNBC early this morning. if true, he is finally thinking about doing something i would agree with. i can't believe what i just said...i still wouldn't vote for him, but...
I believe this comes from his son Donny's personal connection to the area and people who have been able to get his ear, with reasons why the mining will negatively impact the fish population.
Otherwise, the environmental ignorance displayed by Trump in my opinion is appalling. Many, previously protected wilderness areas have been opened to harvesting of natural resources. Forest foundations will be destroyed. Waterways and tributaries will ultimately suffer [even Boogie's creek]
Not only this, but programs to use poisons to 'control' certain species viewed as harmful to ranching and trophy hunting activities have been perpetuated.
As others have maintained, this is done all in the name of the almighty dollar, supposedly the goal of the American dream, what makes America 'great'.
