Like a political magician, President Donald Trump is expected to perform a dramatic trick on a Utah stage Monday: making disappear most of the state’s Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments.
“We’re going to Utah — we’re going to be doing something that the state of Utah and others have wanted to be done for many, many years,” Trump told reporters this morning. “It will be one of the great, really, events in this country for a long time. So important for states’ rights and so important for the people of Utah — and I know a lot of you will be coming with me, we’ll have a lot of time to talk.”
Native American tribes and environmental groups are already booing the act — which leaked documents indicate may reduce Bears Ears by 85 percent and Grand Staircase by half, and replace them with five new, much smaller monuments.
Opponents plan to file lawsuits seeking to reverse an expected executive order they say would be devastating. For example, Jennifer Rokala, executive director of the Center for Western Priorities, calls it “the largest elimination of protections for lands and wildlife in U.S. history.”

"But Utah political leaders from Sen. Orrin Hatch to Gov. Gary Herbert argued that Obama — and Clinton — did not listen to local concerns when they created the sprawling monuments. They say the designation hurts ranching, mining and other potential activities there."
Hey Hatch and your worthless governor, of the state, you two really are a racists and bigots
