It is no secret that Donald J. Trump has many business interests. As the nation watches to see how these will be handled once he officially becomes POTUS, in January, the Standing Rock protests continue. If it is not settled by the time Trump takes office, the nation is wondering what stand he will take on it as President of the US versus a business man holding stock in the venture.

As part of his campaign, #Donald Trump promised that oil and gas would be plentiful in the US. As a business man, Trump holds stock in Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners and in Phillips 66. Both companies have a stake in the success of the Standing Rock pipeline.

According to MSN, as of May, disclosure forms stated that the President-elect held $15,000 to $50,000 worth of stock in ETP and $100,000 and $250,000 of stock in Phillips 66. Phillips 66 has one quarter share invested in the Dakota Access Pipeline.

1. Then, according to Trump, there can be no conflict of interests. Right?

2. This is perfectly acceptable if you're a repub.

Just the way it is. This will not be a problem for any of his supporters.

5. I'm not disputing that. This article comes from a clickbait site...

which is not allowed in LBN. Personally, I think DUers should be a little more discerning as to which sites they choose to give traffic to, as well as to which sites they choose to post on DU. Enough with the two-bit clickbait start-ups.

6. Didn't say you disputed it, demmiblue. I'm just giving readers a better source.

These types of sites have been littered all over the internet this election season... I am sick of them!
