Incredibly disappointing that Trump appears to have no problem with Iowans losing land through eminent domain for carbon capture pipeline projects. Trump has claimed to be "undecided" but was endorsed today by Summit co-founder Bruce Rastetter.

@fairfield_iowa Trump has said he is "undecided" on the pipeline. He signed the 45Q tax credits into law that are providing the incentive to build these pipelines. There is no "undecided." You're either for use of eminent domain in this situation or you are against it. No fence to straddle.
