Based on what I’ve read in The Salt Lake Tribune and heard on TV, I had the impression that President Trump had no or little interest in preserving national parks. I now realize I may have misjudged him. Not only did he praise the establishment of the wonderful Grand Canyon during his press conference, but he announced the designation of a new one. Yes, Trump referred to the new Yo-Semite National Park.
My only concern is this: As a Gentile, will I be allowed to visit this park?
