      What in the revisionist history are you talking about? Obama’s hands were tied because he wasn’t president anymore. The pipeline was given approval to go ahead by then President Trump, reversing the decision to stop it by the Obama administration.

      n December 2016, under President Barack Obama’s administration, the Corps of Engineers denied an easement for construction of the pipeline under the Missouri River,[13][14][15] though this decision was reversed the following month by the incoming administration of President Donald Trump. The pipeline was completed by April 2017, and its first oil was delivered on May 14.

      And your own link that you posted states that “Grandpa Joe” rescinded the cross-border permit granted by the Trump administration.

      You’re mad at the wrong people my dude.
