Trump's infrastructure plan is pathetic. What happened to his big promise on real investment in America's roads and bridges? His plan would be undercut by his own budget—and it forces Americans to pay new #TrumpTolls & taxes.

Hi Tucker. I know another guy who's really supportive of repressive leaders. . .
Progressives have a long history of supporting the World's most repressive regimes... It's hard to find a dictator the left hasn't supported: Chairman Mao, Hugo Chavez, Idi Amin.
