Trump Diverts Park Funds For White House Walkway, Jeopardizing National Projects
Donald Trump reportedly used nearly $700,000 in taxpayer funds designated for the National Park Service to renovate a White House walkway with imported granite, contradicting his public claim of personal payment. Internal documents reveal this expenditure was part of a larger redirection of federal resources, with National Capital Region projects surging while funding for parks nationwide drastically declined. This shift has led to the cancellation of over 900 maintenance efforts across the country, impacting critical repairs and programs, while the National Park Service grapples with severe staffing shortages.
