One of the lies that the supporters of Trump's actions in shrinking the Utah monuments tell is that the process to create these monuments is federal tyranny.

In this Nov. 15, 2017, file photo, President Donald Trump speaks in the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House in Washington. Trump is expressing more doubts about a new policy allowing trophies of African elephants shot for sport to be imported.
President Donald Trump on Sunday expressed more doubts about a new policy allowing trophies of African elephants shot for sport to be imported, appearing to question whether "this horror show" would actually aid in the conservation of any animal. The trophy policy was among issues Trump cited in a series of tweets.
On Nov. 8, the House of Representatives passed the "Hydropower Policy Modernization Act of 2017" , a bill to streamline the licensing process for hydroelectric facilities. The word "modernization" in the title is a euphemism for deregulation, exactly as it was in the "Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999" -- which repealed Depression-era banking regulations that had separated consumer banks from riskier investment banking.
President Donald Trump abruptly reversed his administration's Thursday decision to allow elephants shot for sport in Zimbabwe and Zambia to be imported back to the United States as trophies, saying in a tweet Friday night that he was putting the decision "on hold" until further review. "Put big game trophy decision on hold until such time as I review all conservation facts," Trump wrote on Twitter.
President Trump has halted a decision by his administration to allow the importation of elephant hunting trophies. A combination of public and private pressure prompted President Trump to overturn his administration's recent move to allow elephants shot for sport in Zimbabwe and Zambia to be imported back to the United States as trophies, according to interviews with several individuals briefed on the decision.
President Donald Trump said Friday he's delaying a new policy allowing the body parts of African elephants shot for sport to be imported until he can review "all conservation facts." The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Thursday it would allow such importation, arguing that encouraging wealthy big-game hunters to kill the threatened species would help raise money for conservation programs.
U.S. President Donald Trump said in a tweet on Friday he is putting a decision to allow imports of elephant trophies on hold after a torrent of criticism from conservation advocates and across social media. Trump's reversal came hours after his administration released a rule on Friday to allow hunters who kill elephants in Zimbabwe to bring their trophies back to the United States, which had been banned by the Obama administration.
Partially reversing an Obama-era ban, the Trump administration will now allow U.S. hunters to bring home the remains of elephants they've killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia in southern Africa. The move, announced this week, was greeted with cheers by hunters and firearms groups but was derided by animal rights advocates as the government argued that conditions for elephants in parts of Africa had "changed and improved" in recent years.
