Trump says he’ll free infrastructure funds for New York if Penn Station is renamed after him
The Guardian ^

Donald Trump has told the Senate’s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, that he will unfreeze funds for major infrastructure projects in New York and New Jersey if he supports renaming Dulles international airport in Virginia and Penn Station in New York City after him, according to media reports.

The demand, which was first reported on Thursday by Punchbowl News, comes after the president in October halted $18bn in funding for a major subway line expansion in New York City as well as a new rail tunnel connecting the city to New Jersey. The funding freeze was announced on the first day of a 43-day government shutdown in which Schumer, who represents New York, played a major role.

I have come to believe Dan Bongino has an active account on Free Republic.

I listened to him today, and he describes many of these losers very accurately.

I just had a self-made dinner of fresh ground sirloin patty cooked on our outdoor gas grill with hickory wood chips smoking it up, placed on a Dave’s 21-Whole Grain bun with mayo, ketchup, mayonnaise and Louisiana hot sauce, washed down with a cold Moosehead beer, and for dessert a half bar of dark German chocolate washed down with Port wine. Around 13 grams of carbs total. Almost perfect Keto. There is not a thing that Trump could say right now that I could possibly object to.

This may be an attempt at humor. But I think that it is really stupid.

Do you honestly think Schumer would agree to his terms? Trump is just exposing how much Dems hate him & that they’d inconvenience the ppl they’re supposed to represent because of it. IOW, Democrats would put partisan politics ahead of the needs of their constituents.

Careful.

You’re allowing yourself to be manipulated by a weaponized and false narrative.

Did you know this lowers your IQ?
