Study Trump's demeanor closely immediately before taking the oath of office.
Then, study it again immediately after taking the oath of office.
I have done this with Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr. and Obama. There is a palpable change, a cowing, a coming-to-heel which is, to me, very different than a mere humbling or realization of the weightiness of the office.
Somebody tells them something. A secret. And they change. They fall in line.
Tin foil hat? I think not. They were all allowed to serve but they all stayed within a lane that ran counter to their previously stated campaign/personal philosophies, in one regard or another.
Don't expect much in the way of change when it comes to the fundamentals that Sanders and Trump were in agreement upon. Rather, expect Clinton's positions on those issues to continue.
Change? Yeah, there will be some change. So long as it does not threaten his masters. And we ain't the masters.
As to federal public lands, well, we shall see. Thank you to all who fight to keep them federal public lands. Maybe the real estate agent in Trump will stand down. If he must let it out, maybe he'll be buying and not selling.
