A new ruling from the Donald Trump administration will be “disastrous” for small businesses, the president’s niece has warned.
Political commentator Mary Trump called out Republican representatives during an upload to her YouTube channel. The video, titled “Trump’s Global Humiliation Hits New Low”, criticised the administration for changing dates for free park entry. Trump’s birthday, June 16, is now listed as a day where members of the public can access national parks across the country for free, but MLK Day and Juneteenth were revoked, The Guardian reported.
This change in policy, Mary Trump says, is “racist”. But it also has an effect on small businesses across the country that the GOP should be doing more to protect, the political commentator noted.
She said, “Their admission prices have also been raised. Now, why is that a problem? Well, one, it makes people feel really unwelcome and it disincentivizes them to come to this country, let alone go to the national parks.”
“Also, how good do you think that is for the American economy? How good do you think that is for the local economies of these places? The small businesses in these places that rely heavily upon tourism. Whether the tourism of American citizens or people from other countries. This is a disaster for those small businesses and local communities.”
“So, once again, if any Republican tells you they care about the American working people or American small businesses, they are lying.” Mary Trump went further and suggested Trump had his attention elsewhere, with a “hostile takeover” of the Kennedy Center.
She said, “There’s a new level of humiliation that Donald engaged in last night, that would be the night that the first Kennedy Center Honors were held since his hostile takeover of the institution.”
“The entire event with honorees like Sylvester Stallone and one-hit-wonder Gloria Gaynor was a huge embarrassment’ making it infinitely worse however is that Donald chose to host the event himself.”
Trump would use the event as an opportunity to call out “miserable” people in the audience and around the world while also honoring Trump’s appointed “Hollywood ambassador” Stallone and rock band KISS.
