i think there's something fundamentally wrong when we have NO problem doing that for questionable wars of choice of little/no benefit to our country yet hem, haw, and make excuses over spending it to improve our own country.

But NOOOOOOOOOO, he had to come in and spend every waking moment trying to get rid of anything and everything Barack Obama accomplished.

But, in fairness to him, he painted himself into a corner by promising his core that he would build that stupid wall, repeal Obamacare, and kick all the Mexicans and other immigrants out. So he had to attempt those things to keep them happy, after all, they are all he has.

Now, he is between a rock and a hard place..........he can't get any of those promised things done, and he also has Mueller breathing down his back.
There's a word for what you did here: "Lie". I just can't understand why lefties, with plenty of ammunition to work with, feel the need to lie, misrepresent and distort the truth when talking Trump? All it does is make Trump look like the victim and make reasonable people move to defend Trump.

Infrastructure Week went the way of Values Week, etc. Water under the bridge.

I tried to keep track of them for a while, but don't know what happened. Did they stop having theme weeks?

Not one Trump supporter has posted an intelligent response to the question of what is happening with the infrastructure plans.

That's my issue. Trump fans pout and kick and scream about how Trump is criticized and how we need to stop focussing on his childish tweets, etc & when we try to focus on issues and figure out what is going on - they run -- they scatter -- they can't debate or discuss or provide insight into anything with substance.

Trump said he would form a deportation force and quickly remove 11,000,000 illegals from the country.

Trump doesn't have plans. He has empty statements about various topics.


Actual policy is really hard, much harder than a content-free speech or tweet. His base is happy with empty promises and juvenile statements, and Trumpdoesn't care about pleasing anyone else, so why waste the time and effort coming up with policy?


Heck,they'd first to hire a staff who actually knows something about policy or how the federal government operates.

Hopefully nothing.

Trumps infrastructure plan is a taxpayer paid handout to billionaire developers. Trumps plan gives billionaire developers .82 cents of taxpayer money for each $1 they spend repairing our infrastructure. Then after roads or bridges are repaired these billionaire developers will personally own the roads or bridges, and then they will charge tolls for use of the roads and bridges.
