Were you mad when other presidents did the same? Like when Obama shrank Bears Ears for the uranium mines?

I asked WHY should ONLY the military have the right to Federal lands? Sorry if you're incapable of understanding the simple concept of more than one agency also controlling Federal lands.
And just so you understand, designating lands that are already Federal lands as National Monuments IS NOT taking land away from people no matter what your imagination may tell you.
The states must be po'ed that the feds are returning state land to their control.
Clinton created or expanded 19 NMs
Obama created or expanded 34 Nms
there are 129 established natl monuments
Trump is looking only those established in the last 21 years.... mid Clinton administration
Hey, libs, if you like your natl monuments you can keep your natl monuments!
No distinction can be made between excessive and intelligent decisions by the liberal mind. All or nothing at all, no compromise, no debate.
Wiki.....
"The Trump Administration today issued an Executive Order that commands the Department of Interior to examine the Antiquities Act and national monuments designated over the last 21 years. The stated goal of the Executive Order is to determine whether the national monuments comply with the intent of the Antiquities Act—the law that allows presidents to proclaim national monuments without the consent of Congress.
