Then we can agree that he is not decimating the NPS, even if the 1000 employees were not reinstated.
Okay. I'll grant you that.
Trump administration eyes 30 percent payroll reduction at National Park Service

The Trump administration is eyeing a 30 percent payroll reduction at the National Park Service, signaling big cuts at a high-profile government agency that could make headlines during the summer vacation season.
Managers were asked to put together plans to eliminate 30 percent of payroll, a former employee who had to put together one such plan told The Hill.
The reduction would be to payroll, meaning it would not necessarily lead to a 30 percent reduction in the National Park Service’s staffing, since some workers earn more than others.
Either way, it would be a significant cut that would be felt at the service, and, if they are among the places facing job cuts, could be noticed by visitors to places such as Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park and other sites managed across the country by the National Park Service.
The ex-employee who spoke with The Hill said such a reduction likely would be felt in the near term with potential losses for rangers and janitors — and in the long term, with conservation projects potentially put at risk.
Workforce reductions have been discussed across the government as Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency look to make large cuts across federal agencies and departments.
This is the first time the 30 percent reduction plan for the National Park Service — which manages all national parks, most national monuments and other historic U.S. properties — has been reported.
…
The former employee said the cuts being planned at the National Park Service are a 30 percent total payroll cut, meaning they would include the probationary employees who were fired last month and would not be an additional 30 percent cut on top of them.
I'm going to waste everyone's time with a whole new post for a trivial point of arithmetic that is somehow nonetheless flabbergasting.
A hundred million dollars out of 1.8 trillion dollars is one part in eighteen thousand.
I'd better highlight this as it undermines any claims that cutting Park Rangers is an important part of a spending review. If I made 100k a year, and cut out a single 5$ value meal at McDonalds, I'd be an idiot to walk around with a chainsaw and anybody cheering me on or citing my spending cut boasts as a serious budge plan would be even dumber. The chainsaw antic bring to mind Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and it's meant to evoke the fear of a chainsaw being used on a person. And that's all this is, crushing people's lives for show; to flex one's lumberjack arm. Hound says it's important to look masculine and I'm pretty sure Leatherface didn't have issues with people thinking he was feminine.
The Obama article says that "fewer seasonal staff would be hired" which is much different than firing people. It's not that the government isn't allowed to fire people, but it needs to make sense on some level other than to put on a show for stupid people.

Unrighteous Dominion was on full display when employees were fired “for cause” to fraudulently evade paying unemployment insurance.
