Sure, they wanted to gut the Bureau of Land Management that often stood in the way of development of public lands. They said they would move the jobs closer to the locations they manage but few want to move and locals aren't qualified. As a result, many of the positions are left unfilled. While Trump supporters will high five each other over this and are probably hoping for a Trump hotel in a national park (that they won't be able to afford), in the end, they could have had some local jobs in rural areas and the money is still horribly wasted.
"But he also sees the move — which can cost tens of thousands of dollars per employee — as a waste of money.

What's dumb is expecting land managers to manage lands they are 2000 miles from and have never seen. DC had a bunch of useless paper pushers. Maybe now they can hire someone that can actually do the job.
