Even if he was only a Republican President and not Donald Trump, he would neither fund nor build such a project. Projects that benefit the public good but doesn’t benefit the fossil fuel industry goes against the political dogma that has driven the Republican Party for the last twenty years.

The day when Republicans would build something that would benefit America’s citizenry is as over and gone as Dwight Eisenhower and Nelson Rockefeller.
