This Morning's 2017 Republican Party Campaign Donations from the NCBA?

Good Morning! "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood", to quote Mr. Rogers. However, this mornings news is somewhat disturbing, because Pres. Trump has authorized Interior Sec. Ryan Zinke to review any national monument created since January 1, 1996, that spans at least 100,000 acres supposedly "to make sure the people have a voice" in which lands receive the highest level of federal protection.

First..."what people", is Pres. Trump specifically talking about? Would that "people", be the National Cattlemen's Beef Association?

Secondly, would the "level of federal protection", be diminished to afford/improve multinational corporations restored and expanded cattle grazing permits on federal lands, such as the "Grand Staircase-Escalante" region in southern Utah? This particular area of land, alone is 1,880,461 acres. That's alot of cattle grazing land that corporations could use to graze their cattle and pay little or nothing for grazing rights and when they are done with it...just leave it as barren as the Sahara Desert. It is much like when mining corporations strip mine an area and leave it destroyed and walk away. They finish raping and pillaging our national resources without any conscience or accountability.

Pres. Trump, our nationally elected, "Narcissist-in-Chief", has no soul and no concern about safeguarding the environment. His only concern is money and his popularity polls. He doesn't care who he steps on or over, to accomplish his objectives. I believe that Pres. Trump is a man who has no wisdom. He appears to be the kind of man, who can be bought and easily flattered into establishing detrimental national edicts. Since Pres. Trump is actively involved in raising money for his next 2020 Presidential race, I wonder if he will be getting any financial incentive, like a campaign donation, as a return on this morning's newest Presidential edict?
