Don’t worry, he will run to Breitbart to clarify his statement.

Ruh, roh, Trumpettes. We gotta be “establishment,” now states shouldn’t be allowed to control land within their borders. Trump is showing what is a squishy populist.
Nevada is federal land.
Trump’s wrong on this one.
Trump needs to really understand the depths of unconstitutionality the feds have plumbed including unconstitutionally commandeering state lands outside of the guidelines of Article I, Section 8, Clause 17.
Those lands constitutionally BELONG to the states NOT to the feds.
Mr. Trump, America’s greatness is in the AMERICAN PEOPLE and their freedom to govern themselves individually and locally which includes state governance. America’s greatness is NOT in the unconstitutional federal government which is expressly limited by the Constitution.
And wonder why conservative Trump did not support March for life yesterday.
Good for Trump.
I’m with you. Trump’s wrong, wrong, WRONG!
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Wait, wouldn’t “keeping it great” suggest not having it under the control of ANY government??
I disagree with Trump on this one but at least he has shown the ability to evolve on issues as he gets more familiar with them. Hopefully he will change his mind. At least I don’t see Trump trying to snatch millions of additional acres from states for so called monuments.
Someone had better tell Trump he’s massively wrong in his desire to maintain FedGov control of vast areas of US terrirtory. There is no compelling interest in FedGov having all of this control.
The Donald = The Kingfish...and that ain’t good.
But trump said cities have the right to condemn.. which is it.. Mr trumpocrat
“Ruh, roh, Trumpettes. We gotta be “establishment,†now states shouldn’t be allowed to control land within their borders. Trump is showing what is a squishy populist.”
I support Trump, but he’s wrong here. But I also don’t support just handing over the Federal lands to the States without some restrictions on what they can do with it. Trump’s right, the states are all in such financial disarray, that they might use divestment of these lands to cover their debt instead of dealing with the root cause of the debt. For starters, the BLM should be reined in a bunch, and have their guns taken away. Then there needs to be a rational discussion of how to properly dispose of the Federal “interest” in these lands. And when the lands are turned over to the states, there needs to be legislation severely limiting the state BLMs that will surely be created.
You ain’t seen nothing yet! Wait until he get’s in office. We’ll see some real evolvin’.
Trump brings up the states mishandling the land.
I wonder if there is an example of this?
Otherwise, the land seized under Clinton and Obama SHOULD be returned back to the states.
Trump stated he did not trust some states to mange the lands because environmentalists, think Oregon, California, Washington, etc could make the public land off limits to hunting period. He further worried about states selling off public land in a financial pit. Those lands would probably be sold to large investors. I understand his arguments.
Spoken like a true Trumper.
