Stop Trump’s Land Grab — America Is Not His Casino to Bankrupt Message: I’m writing in strong opposition to the House GOP’s tax package that includes the secretive provision to sell off hundreds of thousands of acres of public land in Nevada and Utah. This is not about fiscal policy—it’s a corrupt, corporate land grab that desecrates Native sovereignty, destroys ecosystems, and sells out the American public to line private pockets. Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is not a visionary—he’s a failed businessman who bankrupted casinos, defaulted on debts, and used the presidency to enrich himself. Now he’s treating our public lands like his next Trump Tower fire sale—slashing environmental safeguards and looting our national heritage for corporate donors and cronies. This land is sacred to tribes like the Shoshone, Ute, Paiute, and Navajo, and essential to our environment and economy. Public lands are not bargaining chips in a tax scam. There was no tribal consultation, no environmental review, and no public debate. That’s not governance—it’s authoritarian corruption. If Congress allows this provision to pass: • Indigenous religious freedom will be violated • Our ecosystems will be opened to drilling, logging, and irreversible damage • And the precedent will be set for privatizing all public goods in the name of “efficiency” Trump bankrupted his businesses—don’t let him bankrupt our future. Vote NO on any bill that includes public land sales. Uphold your oath. Defend tribal rights. Protect our environment. And stop enabling Trump’s scorched-earth greed.
