It's a shame that Democrats screwed it up and set it back by decades, and most importantly wasted valuable transit capital that could have been used elsewhere. This because they, as usual were using to to push political dogma, and not using it to address actual transit problems.

Problem, give a bunch of Democrats lots of money and mayhem usually ensues. It didn't work and they were forced to cancel it. So now Trump wants the money back.
Still lotsa $$$ being wasted in Afghanistan despite Donny's whiny little tweets.
America still losing!
Fallacy of relative privation.
Trump was right for calling out the loons in CA for wasting all that transit money on a "New Green Deal" project that absolutely failed. They didn't call him Governor Moonbeam for nothing.

They don't call Trump a lying grifeter & con-man for nothing either. He campaigned saying he'd get us out of Afghanistan and has done nothing in more than two years to get that done. Defend him as much as you please, his word is meaningless.

This absurd vanity project should answer the tiresome question "why doesn't America embrace high-speed rail" once and for all. Let's assume the current cost projection of 77 billion dollars (nearly the double the original projection of 40 billion) holds true. That's $2,000 -- enough to buy about 15 round-trip flights between LA & SF -- for every man, woman and child in California. And that's before a single train ever rolls down the track.
A tweet is not a Presidential demand. A tweet is just a tweet.
