    Not surprising. For anyone interested, here’s a good doc about his policies with public lands during his 1st term:

    The federal government owns a ridiculous amount of land.

      no, the land belongs to all Americans. it isn’t “owned” because unlike private property, the land has multiple multiple layers of restrictions on how it can be leased, used, and preserved for the benefit of future generations.

      it’s the opposite of the common definition of “owned”.

      it is held in trust.

        And Trump is going to ignore all of that, just sell it off anyway, and the Tribunal of Six will give him a rubber stamp and a gold star if anyone actually challenges it.

      Not that ridiculous, really.

      Percentage of land area of select countries that is in private ownership

        I know you’re only ever allowed to purchase a “100-year lease” to a plot in china, but the 0 is a little bit funny on the chart
