"the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the National Park Service has jurisdiction over the Appalachian Trail...
"Trump administration lawyers argue that the Appalachian Trail is actually under the control of the Forest Service. The Forest Service is allowed to grant rights of way to energy projects."

Energy projects? Just what does that mean?
And the entity that has taken over our House is a DICTATOR, TRAITOR, Russian PLANT and its CULT! ?

Notice how I said ruling, and not leading, our country....
@Heidi68 Yes. More like RUINING AND DESTROYING IT by instruction of his boss Putin though!
The tale is underlines Trump's efforts to prop up the failing coal industry because a coal baron donated a $1 million to his presidential campaign. Coal based fuel plants are closing because other sources of energy are cheaper than coal.
By shifting which government agency controls the trail, Trump's buddies can tear up a section of it.
