Kind of surprising considering he is a New Yorker and a lot of his business is there.
Shows he really is trying to do what is best for the country.
Not surprising. He’ll never get the electoral votes from those communist states anyways.
Those tunnels serve about 100,000 people on a typical weekday. That's a ridiculously small number for a $13 billion project when you consider that 8 million people live in New York City and nearly 9 million people live in New Jersey on the other side of the Hudson River. So those 100,000 people represent about 0.6% of the population who could potentially ride those trains.
Of course the state governments in New York and New Jersey are looking to push off the cost of the new tunnels on the Federal government. Not only do the states not have the money to do the project themselves ... they also have no political will to do the project even if you handed them $13 billion and told them to spend it on their most important infrastructure projects.
Trump is playing smash mouth at great personal costs.
A citizen president, owing no one, can do these things when his country comes first, be damned the incoming shelling. God bless the man, in this fight.
