Sell what assets? The contents of the Smithsonian Museums and the National Art Gallery? Real estate? Sell national parks to who? China? Saudi Arabia?
Getting a divorce from the Feral Reserve and cutting spending is my preference.

Look at the map posted above. I will answer your question.

But wrt your scare scenario. Where does the idea that private interests would be inimical to museums or the Smithsonian? Almost all the major art institutes and museums are either totally private or, in the case of the Smithsonian, administered by the federal government. I don’t think it OWNS it but it is called “a trust instrumentality” as established in the Polk administration.

Field Museum
Metropolitan Museum
Art Institute of Chicago
Museum of Science and Industry

all these and many more are PRIVATELY funded, and operated.

You can forget about the Federal Reserve going away, it never will. No developed capitalistic economy can do away with its central bank. Nor should it.

Trump’s “plan” or idea will not in any way mean that spending will not be cut. TWO different things altogether.
