TFG walked away from a $2 trillion infrastructure deal in 2019

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Donald Trump lambasted Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after 13 House Republicans and 19 GOP senators voted with Democrats to pass the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the former president reprised his "old crow" moniker for McConnell and asked why "he was incapable of getting a great Infrastructure Plan wanting to be put forward by me and the Republican Party?"

But it was Trump himself who tanked negotiations on a $2 trillion infrastructure package in 2019

In May 2019, Democratic leaders and the Trump administration had a productive first round of negotiations around a floated $2 trillion infrastructure package.

But the deal crumbled over the Democratic-controlled House investigations into Trump after the release of then-special counsel Robert Mueller's report.

1. Yes, some of us remember

the art of the deal man maga world was all gaga over couldn't make a deal to save his sorry soul.

2. So he really didn't give a shit about the infrastructure package, did he.

He went into a pout and let the deal die.
His presidency was always more PR than substance anyway.
Look good for the cameras and your base will remember the promise, and not notice the lack of delivery.

3. Heh, funny thing is, he could have used the infrastructure deal as a victory for himself.

In holding it hostage over the investigation, he shot himself in the foot.
