So Cute! Donnie Shistain Jr. Is All Concerned About The Pebble Mine Plan In Alaska!!

EDIT

The younger Mr. Trump and Nick Ayers, the former chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, tweeted on Tuesday their opposition to final government approval of the Pebble Mine, a vast gold and copper mine to be dug near salmon fisheries not far from the pristine Bristol Bay in Alaska.

The two men said they hoped the president would block development of the mine by a Canadian company in the interest of protecting the area’s sensitive environment. “This should be stopped and I believe @POTUS will do so!” Mr. Ayers wrote. Left unsaid was that the mine’s opening was set in motion three years ago by the president’s business-friendly administration, which has pushed the project forward ever since.

“As a sportsman who has spent plenty of time in the area I agree 100%” with Mr. Ayers, the younger Mr. Trump tweeted to his 5.4 million followers. “The headwaters of Bristol Bay and the surrounding fishery are too unique and fragile to take any chances with. #PebbleMine.”

The stance from the president’s son and a former top official is a rare and curious instance of public disagreement, especially from Donald Trump Jr., who is the very definition of a loyal warrior for his father’s presidency.

Don't buy Donnie's story. There has to be more to it than his concern for the area. Frustratedlady Aug 2020 #1

I don't know what it is, but I will say that a "$" will definitely be attached to it and he thinks it will make him instantly rich.

He has no interest in the environment, climate change or protection of animals/fish. His only interest is Donnie, Jr. and whatever woman he can glom onto.
