Trump's latest iteration of 'Infrastructure Week' ended in three minutes by writerknowles
When Donald Trump ran for president in 2016, he often railed against the deplorable state of America’s crumbling infrastructure.
But the great debate over public versus private infrastructure was not to be, because smack in the middle of Infrastructure Week, vol. 1, fired FBI Director James Comey testified about his ouster before the U.S. Senate committee on intelligence. “It is simply not fathomable that a Constitution that grants Congress the power to remove a President for reasons including criminal behavior would deny Congress the power to investigate him for unlawful conduct — past or present — even without formally opening an impeachment inquiry,” Mehta wrote.
Pelosi’s words, and the court defeats that accompanied them, set the stage for a very special Infrastructure Week, or, rather, Infrastructure Moment. Trump entered the White House Cabinet Room for a scheduled meeting with top Democrats having no intention of fleshing out the now $2 trillion fairy tale about rebuilding the country’s broken transportation framework. Instead, he gave Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
....Democrat leadership is tearing the United States apart, but I will continue to set records for the American People – and Nancy, thank you so much for your prayers, I know you truly mean it! With retaliatory tariffs wreaking havoc on U.S. farmers, Trump, flanked by farmers and ranchers wearing cowboy hats, announced $19 billion in government handouts to agriculture, on top of $12 billion last year. But that focus too proved short-lived, and Trump soon turned to something he considered more important, denying that he had engaged in what Pelosi called a “temper tantrum” in terminating Infrastructure Week after a meeting that lasted about three minutes.
