I believe that the Dems were giving Trump a gift with 'infrastructure'. Cooperating with him by the Dems - IMHO - would have given Trump a feather in his cap as infrastructure spending would further energize the economy; stimulate all kinds of manufacturing (i.e., building supplies, machinery, etc) and create a crap load of jobs. He could have really made hay of 'infrastructure' - but I believe he's squandered the opportunity. He could have taken credit for all of that.
Now - it will turn out to be another failure of his administration. Another so-called 'promise' that will not be realized by him.
Infrastructure will have to wait until the Dems win back the WH. Take the Senate and maintain the House - all in 2020. Trump just gave the Dems running for the nomination another platform to run on.
The American People are craving 'infrastructure rebuilding' and it will be the Dems that will deliver on that.

(17,276 posts)He's letting his emotions run him and can't control himself. Very little ability to do that. His lying is all he ever falls back on.
We are watching his presidency come apart bit by bit. Marching toward the dustbin of history.

(115,732 posts){1} He's the world's worst negotiator, and {2} he's more scared of the House's subpoenas, especially of his financial records, than of anything else, and he will give up any political advantage to protect those materials.

(182,826 posts)He took a sure win no brainer and blew it up into what he probably thinks is a big win for himself.
People can dissect this any number of ways but it could just be as simple as him upstaging (he thinks) a woman for his base. Even simpler, he just had a fit.
Wounded Bear
(58,666 posts)we'll see how this turns out. I'm sure the Foxbots will compliment him on his 'courage' and 'strength' and the sheeple will believe them.
Hopefully there is a shrinking number of people who buy his bullshit.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,732 posts)Pretty much all of them are on to him now, except for Fox - and even a few of the Foxbots have been straying from the herd.

I have no doubt, when one happens, (probably sooner, rather than later) he will blame it on the Democrats.
