Privatizing highways? Killing climate change funding to give tax breaks to wealthy?

Why did it take so long for the media to get beyond racism, sexism, sexual assault etc..to the actual Trump policy detail horror show?? Not even Trump supporters i know would agree with this...

"The first beneficiary of that kind of environmental know nothing-ism would be the Koch Brothers, oil companies and the wealthiest of the wealthy who will get the savings on their tax bills when Trump slashes every form of taxation on the rich to benefit himself and the top 1% of earners.

And anyone who drives would feel the pinch of the only new roads being expensive toll lanes which connect wealthy areas to one another - potentially bypassing the poorer areas.

None of this is what Trump supporters think that the candidate is pitching, but they’re blissfully unaware that any policy exists from their campaign.

A policy to deliver America’s infrastructure to Wall Street and give away our green energy investment funds to billionaires for tax breaks.

I guess that’ll make America great for billionaires and infrastructure companies, but the rest of us may be less than thrilled."
