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.
