In retrospect we probably shouldn't have let a paedophile destroy the country.

look at all the Palestinians that were saved because we didn't elect a warmonger like Harris.
this is an acceptable price to pay for saving all those children.

Please provide sources with posts from prominent people. A lot of altered and fake posts tend to be spread.
This looks like it may be one of them as only parts of the forest service are closing as far as a fast search can tell.
It seems that this may be just one step short of a complete dismantling

Eh he is funneling money from everything he deems unnecessary (health, science, nature preservation, education, progressing human rights etc) to pockets of his buddies, Netanyahu and tech oligarchs.
his buddies, Netanyahu and tech oligarchs.
Aren't Netanyahu and tech oligarchs his buddies too?
It feels more like he is Netanyahu's attack dog and some of the tech oligarchs with dad issues treat him like one. The others just lick his ass for free pass to do whatever the fuck they want. Of course you may ask "aren't the only modes of friendship that exists in Trump's life" and you may be right...
This makes me rationally livid.
Even if Trump hadn’t raped children, being the exact opposite of Teddy Roosevelt would make him among the worst American presidents.
The child-raping thing makes it considerably worse btw.
Both parties same though.
This is so outrageous that I find it hard to believe. The cost of the entire US Forest Service must be minuscule, especially if you compare it to cost of waging unnecessary, illegal, and unethical wars all over the planet.
It's about removing roadblock to "national parks are open for business"
I'm sure this isn't really about saving money. It's about destroying the US Forest Service. That's the direct goal.
hope he dies by a thousand pine needles.
under a manchineel tree.
I wouldn't call this a meme. It is fucking horrible news though
Idk. Is this even real? Is this a real thing that is happening? I guess it's a meme insofar as it's a very ridiculous, far-fetched, outrageous thing for the leader of a country to do. And yet, I genuinely don't know whether to think that it's true...
I don't think it is real. It seems to be the oversimplified and overexaggerated story of what is really happening. The guardian says that the US Forest Service will move headquarters from Washington DC to Salt Lake City:

This seems to cause many of its research facilities to (temporarily?) close:

Oh wow, seems like what he's doing is not as bad as this post makes it out to be, although I'm sure he's doing it with bad intentions anyways.
Thanks for the sources, kind stranger!
Please steal the data...FFS....these people are such complete fucking morons....
President Javier Melei is a self described ancap and the inspiration behind DOGE. Wouldn't surprise me if this is another attempt at shaping things by another libertarian group.
Not for long!
