Misleading headline as it sounds like the guy was involved with a 3rd party support group, not the “campaign”.

The Federal Government can’t give that land back to the states... the states can’t be trusted to keep them great.

What Trump can do here is get rid of the regulation since circa 1906 that demands fees for cattle who eat weeds on BLM land. The type of bad weeds and brush that grow anywhere and which we pull up out of our lawns.
