Issue for Blog: Trump and the National Parks

My issue is on Trump and the National Park Service. Trump has created a national hiring freeze which has affected many parks in their ability to hire on new help for the coming season as well as made it really hard for potential candidates to get a job. He has also mentioned wanting to sell the national parks back to their home state so that he can dig for oil in some of these places. He can't do this currently because the parks are under protection, this is why he wants to sell them so he can then legally drill. Currently he is focusing on Zions park and hoping to put a drill outside the park that can be seen from inside and out of the park. Doing this will destroy the beauty of Zions and potentially in other places it could harm wildlife.
