President Trump traveled to Ohio Thursday to give what was supposed to be a speech touting his administration’s infrastructure plan, as the White House attempts this week to refocus on infrastructure for the umpteenth time since Trump’s inauguration. But that effort ran aground Thursday for the same reason Trump’s other infrastructure weeks have failed to make a splash: Infrastructure is a relatively boring subject, and Trump wouldn’t be caught dead giving a boring speech.
At his speech in Ohio, Trump made a few remarks on infrastructure, saying his plan would “transform our roads and bridges from a source of endless frustration into a source of incredible pride” while admitting that “you’re probably going to have to wait until after the election” to see it passed.
