Crumbling Railways?

So, Amtrak has a derailed train in Washington State. Trump immediately criticized “crumbling” railways. In fact, this was a brand new section of track. 

June 6, 2017 in a campaign speech in Cincinnati, OH: We are here today to talk about rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure — and we will do it using American labor, American energy and American iron, aluminum and steel.”

In fact, Trump has proposed a $630 million reduction in subsidies for certain Amtrak routes and severely limited funds to expand existing lines and build new ones. You can't rely on what he says, you can only look at what he does...without the benefit of the thought process. 

He's got thousands of smart people working for him but he wouldn't take 5 minutes to check the facts. How would you feel if you told the entire American public a huge lie, and within an hour it was shown to be, dare I say it? Fake.
