The nation desperately needs infrastructure repair, replacement and improvement. The only reason Trump cancelled the infrastructure council is to prevent any personal embarrassment in case some members resign in protest. Trump is literally putting his own ego ahead of the needs of the country.

Impeach this idiot.

Weak.

I was hoping that at least he would be able to push a worthwhile economic agenda, (even if I don't agree with much of it).

I didn't realize he was the quitting type with all that "Winning" talk.

Trump won't get anything good for the country passed regarding infrastructure due to CEO's bailing and Republicans in the Senate at war with him. Trump looks like he is taking aim at a few RNC Senators, and will try to primary them out of safe seats.

I'd be willing to bet that he is just mad that the press actually argued with him during the "Infrastructure" presser. He is probably mad and thinks that he can withhold infrastructure plans and money to teach "them" a lesson.

I know that sounds stupid, but look who we are talking about here.

That "ball" is our country, so I'm not concerned about him being butt hurt.

Well it's not like congress, the judiciary, the media and some business leaders haven't been running interference themselves and acting butt hurt.

I don't blame him. He has been knocking himself out trying to get things done with little to no help from anyone and 24/7 criticism from many TV stations.

Today two representatives from Tennessee and South Carolina I consider big hypocrites were slamming him. Maybe he is tired of being punched around. I am tired of his being punched around and I am tired of the statues being attacked. I find what others except Trump are doing to be shameful. The most asinine thing is to ask people to dishonor their own ancestors in order to make selfish people happy. Has anybody except the South ever been asked to do that while communist organizations are behind the destruction of the statues?

Trump is the only one who has been truthful about what was going on in Charlottesville. The girl arrested for knocking down the statue in Durham, North Carolina is a member of a communist organization. I don't know about the other six that were arrested but they were not a bit sorry for what they did either. These are not good citizens.

What use is it for him to keep trying when he is getting no co-operation and being criticized for things he is not responsible for. Maybe he needs a rest.

Let the bunch of congressman stew in their own juice for a while and maybe they will realize he cannot do it by themselves and maybe they need to help him.

The stock market looked like those business leaders needed to hang in there with him. We all lost a lot of money today.
