I thought that was one of his big deals? ... gonna put millions to work rebuilding the infrastructure. What a load of pure BS he is. Hmmmm ... guess I got that mixed up with his Mexican wall. The idiot!

(960 posts)so by the time Trump is out of office we have a trans-continental highway directly on the border which will likely translate into a boom in Mexico's economy (and with a little help) stabilizing it to the point where they can worry about their Southern borders instead of us worrying about ours.

He gets his way, there won't be a country worth defending.

(67,086 posts)weapons, youth often conned into serving to protect billionaires and the youth often return maimed or dead, and many treated like shit when they return. It gets closer and closer to total destruction. I think with this ass in the WH, we are on the way to annihilation.

Spending on infrastructure however will put far more lower and low middle class to work than defense spending will plus it will make our roads safer for transporting goods.
