I half remember something like that happening in Brazil. The right proposes something the left approves, there’s no fight, they realize their mistake and start opposing their own idea.
I would be happy if they just brought back the light rail that got people around in American cities 100 years ago before the car manufacturers bought up all the rail lines and shut them down. Crossing the country by train would be great but we need to be able to get across town first.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
It was General Motors. The toons in the movie were a non-political allegory for the black communities that were destroyed in real life.
Surely nothing bad will follow Nazis building trains.
well US could have been already working towards that if Elon did not derail all funds to his ridiculously failed hyperloop
There are no tracks in the US that are safe for high speed trains
None
Trump supporters haven’t figured out we don’t just oppose them blindly, it’s just almost all terrible ideas.
Throw a good idea out there like a high speed train, and we have no problem supporting it, because non-Maga are generally well adjusted humans capable of reasoning.
Spoiler warning: this is the same kind of grift. They’re not going to build anything. The money-addicts just say whatever lets them make line go up.
I would be amazed if they can actually build the train using only American parts like they claim.
Only 200mph tho? Kinda weaksauce compare to 🖐"CHINA"🤚
I’m all in favor of this, though he’ll find some way to fuck it up, if it happens at all and isn’t just a way to siphon money out of the government for his buddies
puts on red hat Yep just MAGA over here with my high speed rail and free universal healthcare, just as the founding Trumps intended
I am ok if this works.
He’d plaster his stupid face and logo all over it.
Easy enough to ignore.
And eventually paint over.
Not if they call it Trump trains
Its a fucking train, just call it train
They can call it Trump Train if they want I just want a train that will get me between Chicago and NYC cheaper than a plane but faster than a car.
This is just Elon’s Hyperloop again
Hey, the trains here go that fast too
Finally, a way to get right wingers to support HSR.
Effective mass transit to own the libs?
If it has Trump’s name on it it will either be a scam or a fantastic failure. When has anything he was involved in been anything else?
Don’t worry it will be bankrupt in no time like all the other Trump stuff including Casinos.
How can you bankrupt a casino? How do you find against math itself and win?
How can you bankrupt a casino?
All of Atlantic City basically collapsed on itself as Vegas siphoned away the high rollers.
Trump thought he could buy into an old casino and revitalize it. But he’s Trump, so he did it all wrong and just got to ride the crash all the way into the dirt.
Trump knew he wasn’t going to revitalize anything. The whole thing was a money laundering scam for him.
Well, he thought running a casino was an easy way to print money. He threw a ton of investment at pastiche, bilked his builders, shortchanged his staff, and created a very glitzy slum.
The Adelsons and the Wynns have been laundering money in the same way, but none of their casinos go belly up. They’re just as evil but far more competent.
He is fighting against math right now. Maybe the real game with the tariffs is market manipulation.
Two casinos.
And the answer to your question is money laundering.
If money laundering bankrupted casinos, then Las Vegas would be just another ghost town in the desert. It takes a special level of stupid to bankrupt a casino. Especially if you are using it to launder money.
It was actually 4 casinos.

Those Las Vegas casinos you are referring to are in compliance with money laundering laws. Trump’s were not.
If you’re not taking in enough to cover the amount of money laundering you’re doing, you’ll end up with a loss on the books.
Ummm, the casinos in Vegas were very much not in compliance with much of anything for decades…https://themobmuseum.org/exhibits/open-city/#%3A~%3Atext=In+the+1940s+and+'50s%2CMob+syndicate+could+invest+here.
I’m sorry, I thought it was pretty obvious that I was making a comparison that was contemporary with FinCens actions against the Trump crime syndicate. Not 70+ years ago.
It’s high speed rail. I’m guessing the general attitude in here is that we don’t want this to fail.
Deadass im okay with naming it the trump train we can rename it later it would 100% get him to build it
All aboard the MAGA express
Chhoooo chooooo, next stop: Nazitown
