    Didn’t see a lot of these articles when Trump ran on $1 trillion infrastructure spending. Twice.

    Trump spent like a drunken sailor, which wasn't good. But a key difference is that if Trump was leading it you knew it was going to get done and not be a boondoggle that used most of the money for other secret purposes.
    Was it?

    Given the fact that he had to fight both Congress and much of the Federal bureaucracy Trump did get an impressive amount of the wall built. Now do California's high speed rail system.

    This is like an impenetrable fortress. Your weird trust of Trump because he owns the libs and the worship of the businessman.

    All I’ll say is the difference between Trump’s corruption and dem corruption is mostly just optics.

    Says the commie who is unable to actually discuss Trump's corruption. Remember when Bought and Paid for Cho Bai Den begged Trump to close the US to Chinese travelers in January of 2020? Me neither.

    Welcome to the Narrative

    Fight the wall tooth and nail for four years then talk smack about the wall not being done

    Edit to add call Trump a fascist and a dictator then talk smack because he wasn't

    Cries of socialism run a bit hollow these days after the $2.2 trillion package that Trump signed. Be consistent or shut the fuck up.

    As a centrist I tend to agree. The deficit is for the party out of power

    I do think HOW we spend all that money is something that needs to be debated more

    And then track to see if any of it did anything

    Like LA announcing rent money to struggling families. How many families actually got any money and how much or did it go to non profit donors type stuff. Same with infrastructure. What gets built and what goes into donor pockets

    Both sides really do loot the treasury which was one of the appeals of the outsider and why he fucked up the game

    I'm with you for the most part. But the fact remains that the CARES Act turned into Mnuchin's cash grab for friends. And Trump either endorsed it or did fuck all to prevent it.

    I still have my check with Trump's name on it which I believe was his major concern. He's no saint and I didn't mean to imply that he was. But he did end up hated by both party establishments so he must have done something right
