Discussion for article #236306

Well he was correct in saying, “Our country has horrible infrastructure problems.” The rest of it, not so much.

‘Fix’ infrastructure?

If you fix your hair first, then we’ll take you seriously. Maybe.

Then shut the fuck up and do something about it. Since you haven’t to this point, you are just as complicit as you’re saying these “politicians” are.

Trump will make the trains run on time! Very comforting.

When I saw the phrase ‘derailed traim’ I thought TPM was writing about his campaign.

I didn’t know there’d been an actual accident.

Anyone taking a cursory look at this man’s Wikipedia page can clearly see this idiot is only as good as his last bankruptcy. The only thing certain you can count on with The Donald is that he’s either suing someone or someone’s suing him over his business dealings. He’s always in the process of shaking someone down…that’s how he makes the bulk of his money these days. He’s a litigious goon. Not a very reliable guy if you want something built fair and square that’ll last the test of time.

Are the derailed train victims, are they in the ground yet?

Trump needs to have a talk with his GOP friends in Congress who have refused to address infrastructure issues for years. Donald, ask them why they would rather keep giving tax cuts to their rich friends instead of funding an infrastructure bank?

My guess is his plan is to follow Brownback…cut taxes and the roads and rail will miraculously fix themselves.

How classy to use a tragedy for such ludicrous self promotion.

No, he should be tied, spread eagle, on the front. Then rammed at top speed into the nearest oil tanker.

This would be like hiring Al Capone to fix the problems with policing.

I will completely agree with him that he is better at building things than Congress. Our infrastructure is completely falling apart at the seams. It is the height of 1970’s technology. At least the Trump tower isn’t falling down. Of course the fact that the man is a walking disaster in every way doesn’t even enter into the equation. Congress is a bigger disaster.

Well, the man is a trainwreck, so I guess he knows whereof he speaks. But hasn’t the Donald gotten the memo on this? Only communist euroweenies care about “infrastructure” like trains and bridges and stuff, especially public spending on it. So unless his solution is to auction the system off to a private Chinese consortium, he just shot himself in the foot.

Only if he’s planning to commit his personal fortune to the job of repairing the nation’s infrastructure. Because I’m sure like all the other Republicans he will be running on a platform of cutting taxes and reducing government spending.

If fatcats like Chump paid their share of taxes our infrastructure wouldn’t be crumbling.
