Park Service says passes are void if Trump's photo is covered or defaced.

Can you believe how frail this man's ego is?

The National Park Service has updated its policy to discourage visitors from defacing a picture of President Trump on this year's pass.

The use of an image of Trump on the 2026 pass — rather than the usual picture of nature — has sparked a backlash, sticker protests, and a lawsuit from a conservation group.

The $80 annual America the Beautiful pass gives visitors access to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites. Since 2004, the pass has typically showcased sweeping landscapes or iconic wildlife, selected through a public photo contest. Past winners have featured places like Arches National Park in Utah and images of bison roaming the plains.

When it expired, I would burn it. But I wonder how long it is until they make it a law that we have to have his face on a bumper sticker on our cars or a portrait in our homes or a portrait in every classroom.

With all of the damage he’s doing to the parks, I doubt many of the park rangers are big on supporting the felon.

I doubt the already overworked park rangers look too kindly at what Trump is doing to the National Park system.
