[Whatever. We still need to get out of Afghanistan and spend the money on rebuilding bridges and dams in America

If Trump loses, a big reason will be he never came through with that infrastructure spending for the decimated Rust Belt. He talked about it at all his 2016 rallies, but once in office he let Ryan and McConnell block it]

Infrastructure doesn’t need to be rebuilt. It’s perfectly fine the way it is, with occasional repairs to keep roads flowing and bridges up. Civil engineering boondoggles have been with us forever. Japan has spent copious amounts on bridges and roads to nowhere. It’s still stuck in a multi-decade slump. And accumulated a government debt to national output ratio 2x Uncle Sam’s.

Infrastructure doesn’t need to be rebuilt. “

The point is, Trump disagrees with you and it was a big part of his MAGA election victory. He didn’t deliver, and that’s not going to help him this November, esp in the rust belt where the rebuild infrastructure message helped him carry areas that the GOP usually loses. His message was, we need to stop spending on roads in Afghanistan and start spending on roads at home. America First.
