My post was about the quote from Trump reported on Fox news, that Trump pledge that you just mentioned, saying that they would use us steel, or not build it.


There are two questions to ask.

Why does Golden Boy 1) want to impose extra costs on a private company? and b) wants to dictate how private companies run their business?

National socialism, dear GOP, is still socialism.

He did not promise in that comment to make the existing pipeline projects--with product already purchased--use American steel. Neither did the Executive Order.


No, he promised that in another comment.

I am quoting directy from this article

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/03/03/keystone-pipeline-wont-use-us-steel-despite-trump-pledge.html

Quote:
Trump said as recently as last week that Keystone and the Dakota Access pipeline must use American steel "or we're not building one."


directly from https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/02/24/remarks-president-trump-conservative-political-action-conference

Quote: Trump
We have authorized the construction, one day, of the Keystone and Dakota Access pipelines. (Applause.) And issued a new rule. This took place while I was getting ready to sign. I said, who makes the pipes for the pipeline? Well, sir, it comes from all over the world, isn't that wonderful? I said, nope, it comes from the United States or we're not building one. (Applause.) American steel. If they want a pipeline in the United States, they're going to use pipe that's made in the United States, do we agree?

If he said that, he shouldn't have put it in that context.

This isn't even in the ballpark of "you can keep your doctor" or "you can keep your plan" type of stuff.

The brilliant attorney Mark Levin lays
the whole thing out pretty well. If
you remember Watergate, it was
known in the summer of 72 that
the wiretapping was attempted, but
it took months after the election
until it started to become public.

The Russia thing is just a Watergate
like coverup, to hide the wire tapping.
Can you imagine what it was like
in the Oval on election night, when
it became clear that Trump would win?
Obama and Valerie Jarret's head must
have been exploding. This just wasn't
supposed to happen.

Right, you just said Trump was doing some kind of crazy tweet.

Looking less and less crazy.


Wrong, as usual Duffy.

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/03/05/us/politics/trump-seeks-inquiry-into-allegations-that-obama-tapped-his-phones.html

Quote:
WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement.


So Donald lied about Obama (no surprise there) and his fervent supporters believed him and made fools of themselves repeating his lie.

Delicious.

NY Times as a source? Really? Why not just cite the DNC, same thing.
The President is a fink.

Nice try.

I know it's hard for you to admit when you're wrong.

Seeing you struggle with the fact that Donald lied to you and you blindly repeated it is very enjoyable for me.

Chuck Schumer says it's a lose/lose scenario
on the wire tap for Trump. If it's true that
Obama ordered it and it was approved,
there must have been an ironclad reason
why, and that could be Trump's undoing.
Or if it never happened, Trump is spreading
fake news.

He's avoiding the obvious. It could very well
have been the faked golden shower document
that did it, & that would bad for Obama. Remember
how John McCain was pushing that whole thing,
he certainly believed it. That whole phony
document could have been dreamed up just
to get the wire tap. When they found nothing
with it, they tried to do damage by leaking
the document.

Nice try, Schumer.

Well thanks to James Comey, we know Obama didn't order it. So it's gotta be the latter.

Congrats Trumpsters, you got conned by your President.
