Energy Speech Leaves North Dakotans 'Drunk On Trump'

Donald Trump's promise to get government out of the way of energy companies was greeted with hoots and hollers in shale-rich North Dakota, where the presumptive GOP presidential nominee presented his plan.

Shortly before the speech Thursday, John Trandem, a North Dakota GOP delegate, became the decisive 1,237th to declare support for the New York tycoon's bid for the nomination.

In his speech at an energy conference, Trump called for cutting regulations and for building the Keystone XL pipeline, which the Obama administration has blocked.

"I'm drunk on Trump," proclaimed John Olson, a North Dakota unbound delegate and attorney representing oil, natural gas and coal companies.

"He gave us policy specifics. He talked about building Keystone and eliminating the over-regulation in the energy sector. By freeing up the industry from the massive regulation burden, it would allow businesses in America to grow which would then create jobs and put Americans back to work," Olson said. "Trump also said he thinks wind [power] should make it on its own. And let's get government out of the way so capital waiting on the sidelines can be invested. We can take care of our environment and produce energy at the same time."

Just stiffing some GOP backbones would be good enough.

FUCNBC. This is "drunk" on nothing. This is specific, factual analysis of actual feet on the ground economic issues while your effin' candidates hides at home trying to avoid public scrutiny!

Trump knew America’s potential was “yuge” — but it was being its own worst enemy.

It seems the mercy of God that He is not letting America just march itself away to a civic hell.

"I'm drunk on Trump," proclaimed John Olson, a North Dakota unbound delegate and attorney representing oil, natural gas and coal companies.

Since he obviously likes Trump very much, why is he unbound?
