Trump is also an investor in the North Dakota Access Pipeline, opposed by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. This just in from Politicus USA on ND's new law:

“Most of us are horrified by the idea of vehicles plowing into groups of pedestrians, yet six other Republican legislators think it’s a good idea as well, as evidenced by their sponsorship of the bill, which reads:

“Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a driver of a motor vehicle who unintentionally causes injury or death to an individual obstructing vehicular traffic on a public road, street, or highway is not guilty of an offense.”

A bill sponsored by state Rep. Keith Kempenich, R-Bowman, would protect drivers from legal consequences if they inadvertently hit, injure or kill pedestrians who are obstructing traffic. Kempenich told the Bismarck Tribune that the legislation was aimed squarely at the Dakota Access Pipeline protesters, and that “It’s shifting the burden of proof from the motor vehicle driver to the pedestrian.”
