Trump has a Chance to Reverse Some of History’s Unconstitutional Land Grabs

President Donald Trump is actively pursuing plans to sell federal properties to private buyers, particularly underutilized buildings and public lands, as part of a broader effort to shrink the federal government’s footprint and raise funding. Senator Joni Ernst introduced the Disposal Act, which lists six prime properties in Washington D.C. for immediate sale. The bill aims to cut through bureaucratic red tape and fast-track the sale of underused government buildings. The Trump administration previously published a list of over 440 federal buildings targeted for closure or sale, including major sites like the FBI headquarters and DOJ building. Though the list has been revised a few times, and then ultimately was later removed from public release, the existence of it in the first place signals serious intent to sell federal properties to private buyers.
