"It was supposed to open Friday, it is not open because Trump says he does not want it open [View all]
#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: It was supposed to open Friday, it is not open because Trump says he does not want it open. When this bridge does open some day, if Trump ever lets it open, you should know that there is a competing bridge a little way down the river, a privately-owned very old very congested toll bridge that will likely LOSE some of its traffic
because of competition. It will lose some of its traffic to this pretty, brand new bridge that has just been built.
The family that operates the competing old bridge, earlier this year, made a $1 million donation to Donald Trumps super pac. In short order, a member of that family then got an in person meeting with Trumps Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The White House and the pac say that was just a coincidence
but after the million dollar donation, he gets this meeting, and then the SAME day of the meeting, Howard Lutnick calls President Donald Trump and then Trump suddenly discovers new supposedly trade-related reasons why hes now suddenly against this bridge, even though previously he has been for it. 🤦♀️
