They both happen within our borders. Now, if Trump was trying to say Canada had to use American steel and labor for their part of the pipeline, you might have a case.
He also has congressional Republicans on his side with this.
How is that totalitarian?
That's totalitarian -- and having Congressional Republicans on board with it doesn't change a thing. This is the same bunch of Republicans that has been pushing for open borders for years, isn't it? So they are OK if I am forced to use American-made steel on my pipeline project, but they are fine if I use a bunch of illegal aliens from Mexico to build it? LOL.
