A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.
Donald Trump won’t let it open.
Here is why.
The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.
Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.
He called Trump.
Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.
Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.
Canada paid for the entire bridge.
Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.
This is corruption in plain sight.
A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.
Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

@MikeDaugherty87@CBaseBall365 They really can’t. Football funds nearly every other sport. It comes down to donor contributions to directly impact the non-revenue sports.
@CBaseBall365 The draft stock piece of this doesn’t sit right to me and maybe there is data/historical info that prove me wrong but good/great players will get drafted no matter who they play for. NIL is purely the differentiator between SEC and everyone else in baseball specifically.
SLOTKIN: Do you believe mail voting is safe and secure?
GALLO: Uh. That's a very good question. I would say, it's not -- under the proper guidance and monitoring, yes
SLOTKIN: Trump won my state in 2024 and there was a ton of mail voting. Was that voting for President Trump safe and secure?
GALLO: It was safe and secure
