Why could Trump not pass an infrastructure bill in 4 years

[Darwin2019]

[spanone]

1. He was incompetent on every possible level & had zero interest in infrastructure.

[snowybirdie]

3. Because he

wasn't interested in legislation, just the p.r. trappings of the presidency.

13. I disagree. The PR is only a tool

to line his pockets.

Why the R's keep supporting him, I have no idea unless they fear for their lives... which is a slight possibility.

[Siwsan]

2. He never tried.

It was just another of his lies.

4. The GQP are against raising spending as they know it will raise taxes on their donors.

which in turn leads to less money for them. Its why the only bills they passed in the 4 years under Trump were tax cuts for the super wealthy.

[Midnight Writer]

5. He didn't have a plan for infrastructure, healthcare, immigration, deficit reduction, crime

or anything else he campaigned on.

He is a con man.

He sells the sizzle, not the steak.

9. He sells the sizzle, not the steak.

Love that!

I remember Howard Stern interviewing Trump, a few years before he ran, & Howard asked him, "How do you go bankrupt selling red meat to America?" Trump just laughed & shrugged it off.

16. Kind of like how do you go bankrupt owning a Casino?

It's a license to print money. I've always said that POS would somehow go bankrupt if he owned Powerball.

6. This is important, though. The media slams Biden and Dems for how long it took

to pass the bill but moron Trump couldn't get this passed in four years. As usual TRUMP all all talk and BIDEN gets results.

7. McConnell led a very tight Senate too

Everyone praises him as a brilliant tactician but the only thing he "accomplished" during the IMPOTUS years was the big tax cut for rich people and getting judges through.

I don't think he could have gotten an infrastructure bill through and he obviously didn't care to do so.

8. Between Joe and Nancy how many years of legislative experience? Expertise is so underrated

[BlueJac]

10. The same can be said about his health care plan!

All pipe dreams and bullshit!

[KentuckyWoman]

14. That's ridiculous

He would have shown us the greatest health care plan in the history of the world if only he could have been President 2 more weeks.

[tishaLA]

11. Can you imagine him or anyone in his regime

working as hard as Pres Biden and the WH (to say nothing of House repubs) have worked over the past couple months to make it a reality? Big, bold bills like this are tough and it takes tough, smart people to get them passed.

[no_hypocrisy]

12. Easy: He would have had both Houses of Congress vote it down.

The expense would accentuate the projected $2 trillion that will be added to the Debt and Trump can't handle "losing" even by his own party.

[Wounded Bear]

15. What little plan he had was basically a sell-off of infrastructure to private corps...

and he never had the energy to really push for it. Once the repubs got their tax cuts for the wealthy, they basically decided that the only thing worth doing was packing the courts with RW activists.

Trump never worked for anything in his life, and especially he never worked for anything that didn't benefit himself directly.

[Johonny]

17. He had/has zero interest in this country, its laws, the future or people

He did nothing but cut his own taxes in 4 years. That's it. The only thing he did. Well, besides end things like treaties. He is clearly not a builder. He is much more a leach.

[RainCaster]

18. The GOP infrastructure plan-

1. Gerrymander the hell out of every district possible
2. Protect the ruling class with more tax breaks
3. Make lobbying a constitutional right.
4. Make voting for democrats illegal.
5. Destroy Roe vs Wade.

[PortTack]

19. They never had any intention of passing an infrastructure bill, just like health care..

[tblue37]

20. First, he doesn't actually work on stuff, and second, it was just a slogan to him, not a goal.
