Trump In Japan Brags About Keystone XL Pipeline Even Though It Hasn't Been Built
The Keystone XL pipeline hasn't even been built yet, but that didn't stop President Donald Trump from taking credit for it.
Trump on Monday falsely claimed during remarks to business leaders in Tokyo that construction for the controversial pipeline is underway, even though the project hasn't found buyers yet.
"The Keystone Pipeline was dead. And the Dakota Access Pipeline was in even in worse shape because they built it but they weren't allowed to hook it up," Trump said, referencing two of the most disputed pipeline projects in the country.
"And in my first week, I approved both. It's 42,000 jobs. The Dakota is already open and Keystone is starting; it's actually already started. And that was done in the first week—got it approved."
Trump approved the Dakota and Keystone projects by executive order, reversing former President Barack Obama's opposition to the pipelines. But only the former has been completed.

I still have trouble even imagining this inept game show host as POTUS. Whenever I hear the words "the president" on the news, I start paying attention - but then I remember and feel kinda sick. 
It truly boggles the mind! Future historians will be hard pressed to figure out what anyone was thinking - and why it was allowed to go on for so long!
