Below is what we know to date.
President Donald Trump
Business Career; April 17, 2011—Interview on CNN’s State of the Union program: “We are rebuilding China. I do not know if you know it. They are building bridges. They are building airports. They are building cities, brand-new cities. When was the last time you saw a bridge being built in the United States? We do not have bridges being built. We have bridges that are falling down.”
2015-16 Presidential Campaign:
April 22, 2015—From a video posted on Donald J. Trump’s Facebook page:
“I don’t like what I see happening to America…The infrastructure of our country is a laughingstock all over the world…Our airports, our bridges, our roadways—it’s falling apart…It’s a terrible thing to see.”
May 12-13, 2015—Tweets from Donald J. Trump’s Twitter account—Following the Amtrak train accident in Philadelphia, Mr. Trump sent a series of tweets:
“Amtrak crash near Philadelphia, trail derails – many hurt, some badly. Our country has horrible infrastructure problems. Pols can’t solve!”
“The only one to fix the infrastructure of our country is me – roads, airports, bridges. I know how to build, pols only know how to talk!”
“TRAIN WRECK just the beginning. Our roads, airports, tunnels, bridges, electric grid—all falling apart. I can fix for 20% of pols, & better.”
