Last week, Donald Trump visited one of the few places in the country more desolate than Oklahoma when he stopped by North Dakota and Montana for a couple of campaign events.
The entire trip was arranged by the greedy, meddling, extremely powerful Oklahoma oil baron billionaire Harold Hamm. In case you didn't know it, Uncle Hammy, who served as Mitt Romney's energy advisor in 2012, recently endorsed Trump for the presidency. Because Hamm is rich and can do whatever he wants, he brought his good buddy Barry Switzer along for the trip.

Former University of Oklahoma and Dallas Cowboys football coach Barry Switzer is slated to attend North Dakota's oil expo and conference in Bismarck.
North Dakota Petroleum Council President Ron Ness says Switzer will attend the event Thursday as a guest of billionaire oilman Harold Hamm, the chairman of Oklahoma City-based Continental Resources Inc.
This year's event also will feature former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz as a key note speaker. The event closes Thursday with an address by Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

Following the North Dakota Oil Expo, Trump, Hamm and Switzer stopped by the Rimrock Auto Arena – Yes, Rimrock – in Billings, Montana for a campaign rally. During his address, Trump gave Hamm and Switzer a special shout out:
