Trump invested in DAPL company.

The Dakota Access Pipeline is controversial. Crude oil pipelines leak. The DAPL would go through a lake used by the Sioux of North Dakota for drinking water. Also, it would go through the Mississippi River.

Trump invested at least $500K in Energy Transfer Partners which is building the DAPL.

The Trump Victory Fund received $100K from the ETP CEO.

Because they are such "purists" and all and want Trump to win to "punish" everyone who didn't give them what they wanted. To hell with the environment and equality and everything good about America. Those that are cheering for Trump to win are the most vile, disgusting of all depolorables. Why? Because they are going against virtually everything they believe out of SPITE and that makes them ugly and evil.
