Exclusive: Trump fires entire San Francisco Presidio Trust board, all Biden appointees

Exclusive: Trump fires entire San Francisco Presidio Trust board, all Biden appointees

A year after threatening to “dramatically” downsize the operations of San Francisco’s Presidio, President Donald Trump has terminated the park’s board of trustees.

The six trustees, who were all appointed by former President Joe Biden, received letters of termination on Wednesday. The Presidio Trust still has not been informed if new trustees have been appointed.

“The Administration has informed our board members that their appointments to the Presidio Trust board have been terminated,” the trust said in a statement to the Chronicle. “We had been anticipating that we would ultimately receive new board members and are awaiting information on the new appointments. We have a long history of wonderful leaders serving the Presidio, and we look forward to welcoming and working with the new members.”

The Presidio Trust board of trustees is made up of six members who serve at the will of the president and one who is appointed by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior. That board seat has been vacant for several years.

Trump doesn't want anyone else to have anything nice.

The Presidio is a federal entity that makes money and makes many citizens and tourists happy.

Destruction for destruction's sake.

Looks like a jewel to privatize, a prize for filthy rich scum.

The US military owns some stunning pieces of real estate -- believe it or not, Dept of Defense really does take care of its real estate.

I probably have most of this wrong, but -- the Presidio of San Francisco is an old fortress area that guarded the entrance to San Francisco Bay. When DoD declared it surplus, the City of San Francisco nearly lost their minds -- it is a beautiful, peaceful, scenic spot. SF did not want the place sold to "developers" who would no doubt fuck it up with condos, etc. So the Presidio Trust was born to preserve this rare, irreplaceable piece of history.

And now it will be the site of Trump Tower West -- and condos owned by Russians. Count on it.
