Trump has done well on improving the economy, the stock market is doing better than it has in years.
But for this, he deserves the harshest criticism.
Elephants are unique and highly intelligent animals, and are the product of many tens of millions of years of evolution. It is the ultimate stupidity to allow these creatures to become extinct.
Because of the combination of loss of habitat from human overpopulation, as well as from poaching and trophy hunting, elephants may be extinct in the wild in a few decades. A few years ago, a sub-species of rhino became officially extinct - now it looks like elephants are heading in that same direction.
Some who have been among Trump's strongest supporters are not backing him this time.

The Trump administration's reversal of a ban on the import of trophy hunted animals from Africa has driven a wedge between the White House and a powerful Republican committee chairman.
On Friday, House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., slammed the decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, announced this week, to allow the importation of endangered African elephants killed for trophies in Zimbabwe and Zambia.
"Elephants and other big game in Africa are blood currency for terrorist organizations, and they are being killed at an alarming rate," Royce said in a statement.
What on earth is the point of this?
