I know, I know. But the criticism always is that those of us on the left wouldn’t never recognize if Trump did something right. Well, here it is. Recognition granted.
You can tell which issues his daughter has more influence on, is my guess.
Didn't her hubby kill a bunch of animals on a safari? I'm not so sure she had any influence here.

In an interview with Piers Morgan set to air Sunday night in the U.K., President Donald Trump used the word “terrible” to describe the initial decision last year by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to overturn an Obama era ban on the import of elephant trophies.
Trump also says he does not believe the substantial fees that hunters pay to hunt elephants and other species actually go toward conservation efforts, as is often claimed, and instead are pocketed by government officials in other countries.
Trump confirms that the ban on importing elephant trophies from the African nations of Zimbabwe and Zambia will remain in place. That was not clear after he initially put the ban reversal on hold, pending further study.
The Fish and Wildlife Service, overseen by Interior Department Secretary Ryan Zinke, announced on Nov. 15 that it was rescinding an Obama administration ban on the import of elephant trophies from Zimbabwe and Zambia, saying money generated by the hunting goes toward conservation efforts.
“Legal, well-regulated sport hunting as part of a sound management program can benefit the conservation of certain species by providing incentives to local communities to conserve the species and by putting much-needed revenue back into conservation,” the service said.
But the announcement on reversing the ban was met with scathing criticism from both the left and right. Powerful conservative media figures like Michael Savage and Laura Ingraham criticized Trump for the decision and called on him to keep the ban in place. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres announced a campaign to persuade Trump to maintain the ban that quickly went viral through the hashtag #BeKindToElephants.
On Nov. 17 Trump tweeted, “Put big game trophy decision on hold until such time as I review all conservation facts. Under study for years. Will update soon with Secretary Zinke. Thank you!”
The announcement that he was putting the reversal on hold shocked many, primarily because his two eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, are both avid hunters and have been criticized for hunting wildlife in Africa.
Trump also is closely aligned with the National Rifle Association, which strongly lobbies for trophy hunting rights. Two days after he made that announcement, he tweeted, “Big-game trophy decision will be announced next week but will be very hard pressed to change my mind that this horror show in any way helps conservation of Elephants or any other animal.”
That tweet led some to believe the ban would remain in place but no further announcement was made as promised.
In his comments to Morgan, Trump said, “Well, I changed it,” referring to reversing the move to end the ban.
He continued: “I didn’t want elephants killed and stuffed and have the tusks brought back into this [country] and people can talk all they want about preservation and all of the things that they’re saying where money goes towards ― well, money WAS going ― in that case, going to a government which was probably taking the money, OK? I turned that order around. You know, that was an order. I totally turned it around. Were you shocked that I did it?”
Morgan: “I was surprised.”
Trump: “I thought it was terrible. That was done by a very high level government person. As soon as I heard about it, I turned it around. That same day ― not even a day went by. No, I was not believing in [the conservation argument].”
The interview with Morgan is Trump’s first major sit-down interview with a non-U.S. television network and airs at 10 p.m. Sunday on ITV.
Also, just gotta say that the phrase " That was not clear after he initially put the ban reversal on hold" makes my head hurt.
See even this shows he can't help lying. Instead of taking the blame for his administration, he said the ban was initially lifted by a "very high level government person." So instead "the buck stops here"....it stopped elsewhere and then he gives himself alt the credit for reversing it, saying he made the decision "as soon as he found out" which is also a lie. He was silent for multiple days and didn't tweet about it only until after receiving bipartisan criticism about the stupid idea.
So, congrats to Trump for reversing his own administration's stupid idea. The bar is so low we have to congratulate him on not allowing his kids to kill elephants for fun anymore. By the way, had this "interview" been conducted by anyone other than a former Celebrity Apprentice winner, a follow up question about his son's grotesque trophy hunting escapades may have made for an interesting, and predictable follow up question.

true, but all he did here was prevent his own admin from doing something wrong. it's a "reactive right", not a proactive one.

This is a somewhat long article and hard for me to read, because it makes me so angry. The religious right wants nothing more than to shove their beliefs down others' throats.

That's not new What also isn't new is the Christian right ignoring the behaviors of their leaders and of the Racist-in-Chief. In other words when one of them does something against what the Christian right believe in then they are to be forgiven and allowed a mistake or 2 or 200 and time to learn and move on. When someone else does it they are transgressors sinning against Christ and should be punished.

It's not quite that simple. Come on.
They also have to flutter their hands around their chest a few times and mutter some things... thennnn they are forgiven.

You are correct But I realized I forgot one majorly important part of the transgressor apology...... a very large cash donation to the preacher and church that will do the loudest forgiving.

Cash gets you a lot of forgiveness for sure.
Religion is a hell of an industry. It's really no different than any other- it preys on people's hopes, fears, dreams, insecurities, etc.
Devin Nunes has been living in Trumpito's FRONT pocket since the midnight ride he took back in March. He's a compromised STOOGE involved in ACTIVELY DISTRACTING errryone from the RUSSIA investigation. He is literally WORKING for #TRUMPUTIN.
They should really impose the sanctions before they release ANYTHING.

Yep, just ask Joel Osteen, etc. The flaunting of their wealth is what gets me. A 17,000 sq foot mansion? Kiss my ass.
I know many like to complicate things on here but I have a simple question: If Mueller and his team are working on the Russia investigation with unlimited resources, privately and unimpeded, how can the claim be made that anything but nuclear holocaust or a natural disaster that wipes out planet earth, "distracts from the Russia investigation"?
Dennis Nunez, can climb the Washington Monument naked to watch airplanes skywriting his memo for all the world to see, and it still wouldn't distract Mueller's investigation.

Obstruction is an almost sure bet at this point. Laundering also likely (NY state looking at that as well). Problem is that the House would have to vote on a potential impeachment, and House Republicans do not seem to any interest in reality. That is the problem.
It's not about distraction. It's about muddying the waters....something that JC does everyday here.
The GOP and White House is trying to discredit Mueller's investigation so when he wraps it up and it possibly leads to charges against Trump and or family they have something to hang their hat on.
Yes the GOP (some...not all) are doing their best to plant doubt as to tRump's guilt in all of this.
The decision tRump made yesterday about Russian sanctions is really interesting. If that were Obama you tRumpster's would be filling your pants with shit and screaming about how Obama was compromised.

The indictments will come before the mid terms and the mid terms will flip the house to the dems. Impeachment proceedings will be initiated and it will be up to the repubes in the senate to try Team Trump Treason. In the face of overwhelming evidence, they will ignore it at their peril.

Distracting the media and the nitwits who voted for him. The less his minions are informed the better
