FFS. For the first time, non-citizens will be charged a hefty surcharge to enter US national parks (an extra $100/person, and annual passes for noncitizens will cost $250 instead of $80).

Our national parks are absolute jewels, and a significant contributor to US tourism. Or were.

Also, one of the National Park "free days" (now for citizens only) is Trump's birthday (also Flag Day, but now re-branded).

Very DPRK.
