... running boat docks and recreational areas becomes a "nice to have" thing that is first on the chopping block when the Trump administration cuts budgets and staff.

I would hope that the Corps makes it known that Trump's cuts are the reason these facilities are being closed. Put it on signs right there on the locked gates and doors.

To those people who think there must be "other places where they could cut that would make more sense" -- you've been misinformed that bloat runs rampant at every government agency and institution, sucking their budgets dry with DEI programs and gender education. In your eyes there's simply lots and lots of low-hanging fruit that can be hacked out of every government office in a way that won't affect YOUR life in any way. However, that is simply not the case. This is what you voted for. And if you think it isn't, then you weren't paying much attention during the campaign.
