President Elect Trump

[Hard Prospector]

I feel a genuine optimism for the future of mining regarding public land access, rights respected, reasonable regulations and hopefully correcting some past wrongs that have plagued us small miners in recent memory.

**At least for the next 4-8 years.

Please keep any political comments on election directly related to Gold mining....

Wallyeyedman, I suggest you follow mods directions...... post must pertain to gold prospecting.

 

[Laz7777]

you think any of them care about small scale miners?
I'm voting for MadDog in 2020

 

[Walleyeman]

hummmmmm...Treasure Hunter?.....

 

[Jeff95531]

I think that the silent majority finally got the kahunas to say "ya know what? We know what you're all up to and we're sick of it...and we can PROVE it!".

At least, that's my hope and as far as mining for us little guys goes? Could he possibly make it any worse? Not even if he intended to...IMHO

Judging by all the protests and celebrities packing up and leaving the country it doesn't seem like many people are happy Trump was elected. They are saying that it was rigged and votes were changed to make sure he won. Personally I don't like Trump or Hillary and I don't believe he will do anything to help this country in the long run especially since he's already wanting to start a war with Iran.

There is a famous people leaving the USA thread, so far we haven't been able to confirm a single one making good on their promises - feel free to jump in if you know of any.

What part of no political post not related to gold prospecting is so hard to understand?

 

[enamel7]

I know for a fact he doesn't like the over reach of the epa. That's one group he'll reign in. Get them off the backs of miners!

Doesn't he have a gold cap in his tooth? Does this apply to the thread too?

Connecticut went Blue, which upset me. Go Donald.

Being a senior, it is hard for me to understand anything.

At least your honest Samuel !

We need to start drafting letters about the states and agency overreach taking away our right to mine
Small scale mining and prospecting are non-discretionary on public domain lands and yet they wont let us use tools other than just a gold pan?
the Trump transition team needs to know what problems need fixed and what needs to change.
The responsibility of our government is to protect, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for all...

One of Trumps platforms was the reduction of many overreaching Federal
regulations that are inhibiting business, and in order for the mining industry
(as a whole) to progress it means exploration and prospecting for deposits.

My guess is that before any of the ridiculous regs in Cal. get repealed, there
will be some battles over states rights vs. Federal rights. Hoping that he
will address the situation of the EPA's overreaching regs. on the water issues
(dredging?) and bring some common sense back to Federal lands. At the
moment those lands administrated by a crowd that think they own the land and
are just allowing us to use it.

It may not happen fast, but when it's brought to his attention I have no doubt
he'll do what he can to improve the situation. Trump's a decision maker, and
very skilled at delegating responsibilities to capable people. They'll talk, he
and his people will decide how to proceed, then he'll tell someone to go fix it.
And fix it they will...

Mr Trump said there are too many regulations. Being a small business owner I understand that.
Being a gold miner, prospector could be included in that thinking. Hey now..... Lets say your "mining" is a small business.... Not "recreational" I would bet the Donald would listen. Observe. Actually look at the facts!

President Trump.... See the fish swimming around, and through the dredge? They seem OK to me!
Turbidity? Visit here in the winter when the creeks/rivers/streams run "muddy" for weeks!
Yes sir you are correct...The fish are still thriving...

I think I'm running for congress.

Trump talked many times about unlocking American resources to benefit
Americans . He talked about eliminating the " unwarranted " regulatory strangle
hold activist have pushed down this Nation's throat via fraudulent data , activist
propaganda , bribery , junk science and various other lies .
He talked about a bunch of other stuff that needs fixing too , but keeping with
the Gold Hunting subject matter , I hope that during the course of his presidency
he will be able to bring about some relief to my gold hunting friends out west .
They are the ones currently being stomped on the hardest .

I voted for Don . All my family voted for Don . Everybody I know voted for Don .
He had all the right enemies as far as I'm concerned . Now ..... we see what he
actually does ........ if he stay's true he will have to stay hard . He will also need
a second term to really " drain the swamp " . Trump is 70 years old ...... but seems
capable of going 8 years as president . My dad was sharp as a razor and working on
a tractor when he fell dead at 79 last summer . Heart just gave out . Hardest working
man I've ever known . He did not like wasting time . I hope President Trump is
like my dad in that regard .

God Bless America .

Just trying to keep this on topic here, so I will ask. Why exactly do you feel this way?

I am not Hard Prospector but my answer would be --- because IF (big IF) Trump is able to do some/much of what he said he would do - he want to deregulate &/or gut much of the government bureaucracy that holds the small business &/or operator back (including but not limited to the EPA)

In other words - under current conditions - big government regulated bureaucracy caters to BIG business/operators (that can afford to meet the high cost of regulation) thereby preventing small business/operators from contributing to economic growth - Trump wants to change that

The question is how much of what he said he "wants" to do - will he actually be able to do ? --- Much of it still needs the approval of the house &/or senate & though the house & senate are republican majority - not all of them agree with (republican) Trump

Edit to add; - so although we may not see real &/or major change - there is at least now some hope for the little guy

Edit again to add; - so yes - I think there is at least some hope for the small miner/prospector to regain at least some of what we have lost

What really get's me about the California vote is that somehow it went Hilary even with the entire gold belt and most of the state being Trump. If you look at the map below, Trump is in red, and still Hilary came up with more votes then she deserved. My problem is that even though the entire gold belt from the top to the bottom all voted red, the state still turned blue from the far left Pacific Coast, making our votes worthless. So yea, State of Jefferson is right up my alley because our votes would count like the rest of the nations. My mining isn't recreational, it's a business and it supports 4 families and Trump supports mining, his Grandfather was a Klondike miner - https://www.adn.com/commentary/arti...ather-struck-it-rich-klondike-how/2015/09/13/

Well he was definitely mining the miners and going for the gold. It would be nice if the east side of California actually had the chance to make our votes count. Most of the population is on the coast and them ruling all of California including the mining districts has really cramped our world. When you look at all the red in that map, it really makes me wonder why so little blue takes so much... And to top it off, the blue voted in the Background Checks are required to even buy a box of 22cal bullets in California... Here it is, the middle of the night, and I'm real happy that even though we in the red counties in California still got voted to blue, that the rest of the Country saved us all
