President Trump is once again putting America first, this time with a bold move in our beloved national parks. In an executive order that should have been made years ago, he has decided to increase the fees for foreign visitors. The result? More affordable park visits for Americans. Finally, some fairness! Why should hardworking American citizens pay the same as international tourists who don’t contribute a dime to our system? It’s high time we prioritized our own citizens over foreigners.
Of course, the liberal elites will cry foul, branding this as anti-globalist or signaling some perceived bias. But let’s face it: this is about putting Americans first. Our national parks are a precious natural resource. They’re not a free playground for the world, on the back of the American taxpayer. Liberals seem keen on letting foreigners walk all over our parks without contributing to their upkeep. Yet, they don’t blink when asking Americans to foot the bill.
This move is a breath of fresh air for middle-class American families. Picture this: parents taking their kids to a national park without having to break the bank. It’s a chance for backyard vacations where they can connect with nature without being squeezed by soaring costs. And isn’t it ironic that the progressives, who claim to love Mother Nature, are the ones opposing this step to make nature more accessible to the average American?

Let’s not forget, this isn’t just about money. It’s about setting a precedent that America is for Americans. International tourists are more than welcome, but contributing to the preservation of our lands is a fair ask. Why should Americans subsidize foreign tourists any longer? Liberals rush to defend global visitors, yet disregard the burden felt by everyday Americans—a clear indication of where their priorities lie.
This decision is a reminder that America is a nation that values its citizens. It’s a proud stance against globalism and the liberal tendency to favor outsiders over Americans. So why would we not make them pay their fair share? President Trump is paving the way for a more equitable and patriotic America. The real question is: Will the left ever understand that charity begins at home?
