The National Park Service is sniping at President Trump via the agency’s official Twitter account by retweeting others’ critiques of lackluster turnout for the inauguration and scrubbing climate change from the White House website.
The park service included retweets by New York Times correspondent Binyamin Applebaum, who tweeted photos comparing the turnout in 2017 to that of former President Obama’s first inauguration in 2009.
Aerial views of the 2009 parade show a sea of people on the National Mall between the Capitol and the Washington Monument, while a shot from Trump’s swearing-in was not nearly as filled.
The park service also retweeted Anne Trumble, an architect, who tweeted, “Civil rights, climate change, and health care scrubbed clean from White House website. Not a trace.”
Applebaum tweeted out a screenshot of the agency’s Twitter activity, saying, “Looks like the Trump administration hasn’t taken control of the @NatlParkService Twitter feed just yet.”
