‘It’s infrastructure week again?’: Trump mocked for trying to re-pass Biden bills

Donald Trump's new White House said he'll have a major announcement on infrastructure Tuesday afternoon. Throughout his first presidency, Trump was ridiculed for frequently claiming to be having an "Infrastructure Week" while failing to pass any legislation or funding for new infrastructure products. After Trump's first term ended, former President Joe Biden sign a bill passed in November 2021 that allocated $1 trillion in funding for projects across the country. These included updating water and sewer lines, connecting high-speed internet to rural areas, modernizing rail travel, and repairing roads and bridges. Trevor Higgins, senior vice president for energy and environment at the Center for American Progress, explained on Blue Sky that upon coming into office on Monday, Trump "ordered a halt all investments of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Trump’s first full day back in White House includes firings and an infrastructure announcement

Trump planned to continue to build on his barrage of Inauguration Day announcements, with the White House promising a “massive announcement” on infrastructure. Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt declined to detail the announcement in advance, but she said in an interview on Fox News that it would send a message to the world. “You won’t want to miss it,” she said. “Infrastructure week” became a punchline during Trump’s first administration as White House officials promised repeatedly — over years — to train a focus on major public works projects, only to have Trump himself quickly shift emphasis elsewhere while major legislation on infrastructure never materialized.

Trump to Make 'Massive' Infrastructure Announcement

President Donald Trump will make an infrastructure announcement at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. "It's going to be a massive announcement and it's going to prove that the world knows that America is back," Leavitt said on "Fox & Friends." The Republican president's 2016 campaign promise for a $1 trillion infrastructure package during his first term from 2017-2021 never materialized. His Democrat successor, Joe Biden, signed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill into law in 2021, in a bipartisan achievement that his administration said had launched 40,000 projects.
