Trump Will Try Again on Infrastructure


December 3, 2018 at 6:45 am EST By Taegan Goddard

“The Trump administration is preparing to make another attempt at honoring one of the biggest unfulfilled promises of the president’s election campaign: a $1 trillion upgrade of the nation’s road, rail and energy infrastructure,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“That program failed to materialize during President Trump’s first year in office, as the administration pursued a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, which failed, and a major tax cut, which he signed into law in December 2017.”

Playbook: “Mitch McConnell has said no thanks to this in the past.”

raiding SS, Medicare trustfunds, cutting benefits and sacking Medicaid....no infrastructure plan is going to happen until taxcuts are repealed.

2021 is the soonest under a democratic led govt.

weakened America economically. The republicans couldn't run a freaking lemonade stand without "daddy's" money.

Trump is going to try something constructive? You mean, like build something because that's what he does?

Bullshit.

Trump hasn't built a building in years. He's merely licensed his name (!) to be slapped onto someone else's building.

Who wants Trump's name on their apartment building today? No one. There are apartments in New York and Chicago and elsewhere where they are removing his toxic moniker from their buildings.

Trump has destroyed his own brand! It's a remarkable turnaround.

Trump ain't gonna build nothin'.

until after the Mueller indictments and his report is made public, period. He's not worthy of making decisions if he conspired against OUR country.
