He called the bill ‘a loser for the U.S.A.,’ and warned that Republican lawmakers who signed on could be thrown out of office by angry primary voters…”
“The signs bearing Mr. Trump’s name now adorn bridge projects in Connecticut and Maryland; rail-yard improvement projects in Seattle, Boston and Philadelphia; and the replacement of a tunnel on Amtrak’s route between Baltimore and Washington.”
