Remember how the Trump Administration was holding up the $6.9 billion in federal funds for the Gateway Tunnel project – which was allocated by President Joe Biden in 2021 – because of something something illegal DEI hiring practices in the contracting process? Well it seems that the president isn’t really all that concerned about the scourge of reverse racism in economic opportunities in public works projects because Punchbowl News reports that the fat fuck told Chuck Schumer he would release the funds if Democrats vote to rename Manhattan’s Penn Station to Trump Station and Virginia’s Dulles International Airport to Trump International Airport.
Watch all the MAGA white nationalists suddenly turn on Trump for compromising their principles, lol.
“There’s nothing to trade. The president stopped the funding and can restart the funding with a snap of his fingers,” said a source close to the Senate Minority Leader. While obviously a good point, that they have no reason to trust Trump – also both states are suing the demented old slob anyway and will probably win, which may’ve been what prompted fat Donald to make this “offer” – maybe Team Schumer could’ve also made clear that he’d only agree to vote yes on the renaming the transport hubs if Trump dumped a can of gasoline on himself and lit a match on live television.
