In a move that has environmentalists shaking their heads and lumberjacks sharpening their saws, the Trump administration has announced plans to rescind a rule blocking logging on national forest lands. Yes, you heard that right – they want to turn our beautiful forests into a buffet for chainsaws.
When asked for comment, Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt said, “We believe that trees are just standing there, taking up valuable space. It’s time we put them to good use by turning them into paper and toothpicks. Plus, who doesn’t love the smell of freshly cut wood?”
Environmentalists were quick to condemn the decision, with one activist exclaiming, “This is like giving a toddler a chainsaw and telling them to go wild in a china shop. It’s a disaster waiting to happen!”
But not everyone is upset about the news. One lumberjack, who asked to remain anonymous, said, “I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life. It’s time to show those trees who’s boss!”
In response to the backlash, President Trump tweeted, “I love trees, believe me. But they’re just not doing their part to Make America Great Again. Sad!”
As the debate rages on, it seems like the fate of our national forests hangs in the balance. Will they become a playground for loggers or remain a sanctuary for wildlife? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, if you hear the sound of chainsaws in the distance, don’t panic – it’s just the Trump administration trying to make America woody again.
