Is there any way Alaska can keep trump from selling state natural resources to Putin?

Just wondering if this crime can be stopped...I would think that a president can't just "decide" to sell our country out to a foreign state and (as I hear) pocket the proceeds for himself or his lackeys...?

I don't think even this Repub slime-swab of a congress would accept it. It's too much ammo for the Democrats.

But so much for "America First", eh? Art of the Deal, my ass. The Art of Getting Dry-Humped by Vlad, is more like it.
