So you believe the oil or finished product refined from the oil must be exported.

Explains why you’re a Trump voter.

No, I won't say idiot or stuff like that because maybe I was not clear and you misunderstood. I want the oil to stay in the USA to lower domestic oil prices and overseas dependency (though Canada is another country) but the keystone pipeline is being built to export oil out of New Orleans - which I don't like and therefore to claim the pipeline is essential for national defense is bogus since the oil is being exported. In any case the claim eminent domain is OK for a private enterprise like the Keystone pipeline that benefits a foreign country but Trump applying that to a what amounted to a crack house across from his casino is wrong is bizarre. Trump offered up to 6 times market value and was turned down and eventually built around it. Now the house can't be given away and is a blight on the community full of resident crack heads.

Only in the mind of a Trumpster would a Trump casino be considered necessary for the overall good of the country and a pipeline wouldn’t.

“but Trump applying that to a what amounted to a crack house”

You’re being completely dishonest. It was not a “crack” house at the time. It was the home of an old woman who wanted to live in peace in her own house.

Actually the home was demolished in 2014, Carl Icahn, yes that guy, bought at auction for 500K, he promptly leveled the 18 room boarding house.

The home was not some "old granny's" two bedroom beach bungalow, it was a crime infested 18 room boarding house. (private property is still private property, I am just pointing out what it actual was. Seems too many people distort the facts to fit a narrative(Trumpinator, this was not against you, just the people who distort that this was some old lady's home, it wasn't))
