Mr. Trump said BEFORE the Election that ha was For Going Ahead with the Dakota Pipeline Project . The Voters were Aware of Mr.Trump's Interests in the Company that got the Contract to build it . You cannot find Fault in a Businessman Investing and making a Profit on it . If he had Lost the Election , this Story would have Still Not be of Concern to Anyone .

And why not proceed ? It has already been bought and paid for. There are several HUNDRED pipelines that share the same route.How can one be less environmentally safe than all the others ? It is NOT on tribal land and really not close when you look at a map . The location has already been moved 4 times. And each with the Native American tribe's agreement. Sounds more like another Obama stirring the sh** again
Only partial Native American , but proud of that heritage.

Were there people who actually thought a corrupt businessman was going to become an honest politician?

The signs have been there from the beginning that he will abuse his power for personal gain. It was part of the package deal that is Trump.

Good crap be a bit more specific? Did you vote for someone anyone from Chicago? Dint see the signs for that one?

Don't act like you know whom I have voted for. I will tell you that those I have voted for had their investments in blind trusts.
Because of that conflict of interest thing. Conflict of interest was part of the package deal voting Trump.

First of all, Trump is not the President yet. He just hired a white House Council who can can determine what format he can put is assets in. Trump's investment is only .008% of the pipeline value, very miniscule.

Politicians should not have monetary interest in companies that they are making decisions and laws that affect those businesses. Tend to make it difficult to be unbiased.
