President Trump’s overreaction to reports about the size of the crowd at his inauguration has caused more embarrassment for the fledgling administration as National Park Employees appear to be openly disregarding a social media gag order.

National Park Service employees were ordered not to use Twitter after tweeting a photo comparison of Donald Trump’s and Barack Obama’s inauguration crowds helped instigate a fight between President Trump and the media. Another National Park Service account has tweeted climate change information despite the order.

A national park in South Dakota posted and deleted three tweets about climate change after generating buzz on social media.

The Badlands National Park posted three messages Tuesday afternoon that described the negative effects of climate change — a position President Trump has not fully embraced.

…

The messages were posted days after the National Park Service got in trouble with the new president for posting pictures to Twitter that compared crowd sizes of former President Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration to Trump’s last week. The park service apologized, and was ordered not to use Twitter until Monday for instruction on how to proceed.

The Badlands National Park account is receiving a lot of encouragement for what people interpreted as defiance of Trump’s orders.

It is *totally* reasonable to punish a park for talking about the environment. #AlternativeFacts @BadlandsNPS

Regardless of the validity of climate change predictions, this looks bad for Trump. Just a few hours ago I was writing about how Trump’s predictable counterpunching could lead to trouble. If not for his egotistical obsession with crowd size, this wouldn’t be a story. He walked right into it.
