"SNIP.....

President Trump trashed his own White House infrastructure plan released last year, blaming former economic adviser Gary Cohn for drafting a proposal that was “so stupid,” The Hill reports.

“Trump, meeting with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY), made clear that he was never supportive of the proposal calling for public-private partnerships because ‘you get sued.'”

Said Trump: “That was a Gary bill. That bill was so stupid.”

Well, duh. Trump don't know shit about infrastructure and how to get it done.

Repubs will be pushing privatizing and toll roads and bridges and Wall Street financing.

Trump's really bad at hiring.

Just like with everything else: It's all hot air.
