For decades and decades all he did was have properties built and refurbished in 19 countries and large areas of many New York neighborhoods his empire owns.

Yet, the New York is accusing him of not building anything?

That is like writing a column asking an airline why they never fly, asking a trucker why they don't drive?

Whats next? A liberal columnist saying Hillary Clinton has the cure for coughing.

A key point in this opinion piece that you seem to be missing is that it's referring to his actions during his presidency and how there haven't been any significant building projects for the government and American people, not somehow missing all of his time dealing with real estate for his own business.

He has not done any much needed infrastructure repair and rebuilding, for example.

You DID read the article didn't you? Or even the sub headline?

The sub headline has it right there " Infrastructure won’t happen until the Democrats regain control."

I'm beginning to understand Trump followers more and more.

Did you even read the article? Or just didn't comprehend it? The article is discussing that he hasn't accomplished anything, in terms of infrastructure, while in the office.

Yes, this is likely due to the pace at which he works (executive time, etc.), but it's an interesting writeup.

I wonder how many building he actually owns or has built... and how many he just leased out his name to.

I don't know the answer in terms of numbers, but when he was in his prime, he was known for taking on massive projects and delivering them on time, within budget. He accomplished much of this by being a cutthroat contract negotiator... making sure anyone he subcontracted to would make little or not money on the job and requiring them to meet unreasonable deadlines. In the long run, it paid off, but it was difficult to work with him.

I'm.beginning to understand radicalized leftists. Who want to turn America into a third world country and give freebies to hundreds of thousands of central Americans before helping American citizens. It's obvious the left hates America.

I hope you're not a republican. I'm no fan of the democratic party myself, but the republican party doesn't need this kind of thought process holding it back.
