      My God. I have visited and camped in this wonderful National Park. Joshua Tree is special. This is devastating. Those grounds, those trees, those spaces are sacred. Shame on the Trump administration for this.https://twitter.com/johnupton/status/1083387896403505153 …

      During the shutdown, with Joshua Tree National Park open but no staff on duty, visitors cut down Joshua trees so they could drive into sensitive areas where vehicles are banned.

      My family has visited and camped in National Parks all over the country. I doubt Trump has even visited many of them. He damn sure hasn’t camped in them and seen just how beautiful and special they truly are. They are being destroyed right now and it’s heartbreaking.

          I can't help but feel that the reason they've been left open is so that later on down the line he can justify selling them off to private interests because of all the damage that's being done to them right now.

          Tell your liberal friends in DC to stop playing politics and fund the wall and the partial government shutdown is over. It’s that simple.

          No, Trump said he owns the Shutdown. He'll take the heat. You did hear/ see him say that right? Wasn't "fake news". He also said Mexico would pay for it, not us. So which of his statements ate you choosing to believe?

          Simple? If one listens closely to #Trump, one would hear lies after lies about this shutdown coming from 45. #MitchShutdown is hurting Americans. Americans safety is at risk. @SenateGOP owns this shutdown, period.

          Actually, they already did. More like $25 billion. It included provisions to deal with the thousands of Dreamers already here and tRump balked at it.

          So what you're saying is, without regulations to protect people and things that are vulnerable, people will just destroy everyone & everything in their path?

          It is glaringly apparent the president is completely detached from nature and could give two shits about its preservation. When I think about it, his lack of empathy is a little more understandable through this lens...

          Our national parks are tremendous treasures, to the point of evoking the sublime, that feeling of awe towards something so much greater than yourself. Donald trump has never experience this, to him, there is nothing greater than himself.

          How many GoFundmes are up to help fund the cleanup of the parks, to be watchful of the destruction of precious vegetation and life? Just because the gov isn’t open doesn’t mean the people can’t be assisted with maintaining the upkeep of the areas.

          That upsets everyone but it has nothing to do with the shutdown...it’s bad people who would do the same if nature was open or closed.

          I’d bet he hasn’t been to any. I became vegan to do my part in helping save our planet because of my experiences in our National Parks. Trump is a disgrace who doesn’t even understand the true greatness of the country of which he is the so-called president.
