A tale of two bridges

THe busiest transit between Canada and the United States is across the Detroit River between the city of Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.    It accounts for 25% of all trade merchandise that goes between our two countries.     

 

The primary bridge to accomodate that transit was  built back in the 1920's.   100 years later it is in bad shape in addition to not being big enough to handle the massively increased traffic that has grown over that time period.    

 

So...... Canada built a new bridge 100% with their own money at a cost of 4 billion dollars.    The new bridge pictured below is complete and ready to open.   But Donald Trump wont allow for it to open.    He was initially excited about the infrastructure that would benefit both countries especially since we got it for free from Canada.     But then he changed his mind. 

 

Why did he change his mind?    The owner of the old 1920's bridge made a 1 million dollar donation to Trump's pac...which got him a meeting with Howard Lutnick.    One hour after the meeting and donation Trump came out furiously against the horrible, awful new bridge.    The only people on the planet who benefit from keeping the new bridge closed are the people who charge tolls on the old bridge.    And they bought themselves a huge favor from the president for 1 million dollars.

 

Can someone tell me if thats as bad as Hunter Biden getting a job with Burisma?

   Here is what PJ conveniently left out - no where is their the mention of the supposed "bribe" that PJ alludes to. This is just another attempt to attack the President while he stands up for America and fairness.--  In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump also demands that Canada "treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve." "With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical," the president added. Mr. Trump criticized Canada, saying Ontario won't put U.S. alcoholic products on its shelves and complaining of Canadian tariffs on U.S. dairy products, calling it "unacceptable." The president also claimed that Prime Minister Mark Carney is trying to make a deal with China. Mr. Trump says Canada has treated the U.S. "unfairly for decades" and the bridge was being built with no U.S. content, such as steel. -- and --- The Gordie Howe International Bridge is not open to traffic, and a firm opening date has been delayed. Although construction of the $5 billion span between Detroit and Windsor is complete, officials from the United States and Canada postponed the opening to resolve political and trade issues.A ribbon-cutting ceremony and the subsequent opening for traffic were initially scheduled for mid-June, but the event was abruptly cancelled. The delay stems from objections raised by the U.S. White House, which has used the opening as leverage in ongoing trade and toll revenue negotiations

(A) You didnt post any links which is funny considering you demanded mine.  (and I obliged)

(B) You reference Trump's Truth Social account which strangely enough didnt mention the payoff from the donor.

 

I hate picking on you because I honestly do think you're a little special needs....but ....I cant seem to stop.   Quit making it so easy.
