Trump vows to rebuild America with his 'big, beautiful hands'

Source: USA TODAY


Published 10:48 p.m. ET May 29, 2018 | Updated 7:42 a.m. ET May 30, 2018

.............................................

The president made the remark during remarks about the need to rebuild the country's infrastructure, which he said had become like "a third world country."

"We’re going to build new airports," Trump said. "We’re going to build new highways. We’re going to build new dams. We’re going to build infrastructure. We just had approved recently, we just had approved, we’re fixing up all of our airports. Billions of dollars just got approved, and I’m signing it shortly."

Trump was perhaps referring to the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 recently passed by the House and awaiting Senate approval.

"We will build new strength into our country," Trump said. "We will breathe new hope into our communities and we will do it all with these big, beautiful hands," Trump continued, raising both presidential paws and stretching out the fingers.

"Look at these hands," he said.

"Loyal citizens like you, the people of Tennessee, helped build this country and together we are taking back our country," Trump said. "We're returning the power back to our great American patriots."

Kick that can down the road again, with your tiny stubby little toes, dRumpfenfuhrer.

Also, I love how the guy who proudly bragged that he didn't pay taxes -- saying 'that makes me smart' -- pisses and moans and bitches about how crappy the infrastructure WE pay for is, how it isn't up to the high standards he demands.

He really is a little bavarian prince.

Aside from the creep factor, wasn't it those same hands that did all the tax cuts? Where does the money come from? When there is no money in the hands, you can't go spending on things like this.

and the people cheering who are cheering the demise of Democracy and they're happy because they're white and they think it's all for them. Creepy as as shit and as stupid as they come.

A man who "has it," just smiles like a cheshire cat with no bragging. He knows he's got it. And then you know he's got it.

that our infrastructure needs massive upgrades - back in the W Bush era, economists had estimated it would likely take somewhere around $3 trillion to improve and upgrade our infrastructure to make it ready for the economic challenges of the 21st century. I'm sure it's more by now as our bridges/roads/airports/rail have all aged 10-15 years since that time.

However, it is his republican party that is blocking any sort of infrastructure upgrades and improvements that don't involve massive privatization, and they have been blocking these things since Bill Clinton was president.

what a shithole of an Interstate. Holes in all the lanes, nasty surface drainage, and four lane most of the way. If any state needs infrastructure work, it's there.

it makes us all think back to the 'small hands' comment from that NYC writer long ago!

One would think it wise to never mention hands, let alone his small hands, ever again. 'Course, that would take a brain!

One of his flaws he talks about it obsessively, attempting to deny it by lying about it. We need massive billboards all across the country pointing out his flaws. Especially his pathological lying. That would drive him berserk.
