I don't understand , why the f**k would he block it? Has he seen the absurd overcrowding and delays lately? All he would have to do is go within Penn Station on any given morning or evening.

O man... there's always some bs going on. Damn shame!

As someone who takes the rail a lot and also drives in the city a lot, Trump is really out of touch with the current situation...

And now, according to four officials familiar with the discussions, Trump has taken a personal interest in making sure no federal dollars flow to a project that is considered critical to his hometown’s long-term economic prosperity.
Somehow this needs to become reality with or without Trump and the POS GOP run government. Bad enough his tax plan hurts blue states, the least they could do is provide some federal dollars to alleviate the residents of NJ/NY. Yes places like NJ or NY are not poor places like Alabama or most of the South East, but god damn, we need some relief. Even if we have a higher GDP and standard of living, it really is not all its cracked up to be once you factor in the expensive nature of it all (speaking in general).

Quote:
The motivations behind Trump’s opposition are not entirely clear. It is a direct challenge to a key political rival, Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), who has been among the most powerful and vocal backers of federal funding for the project.
Wouldn't shock me at all. At the expense of the people and longevity, long after he's gone.
