WHINING Democrat Governor ATTACKS Trump's Smart Budget Cuts as 'Illegal' – Gateway Tunnel Boondoggle Gets Axe

New Jersey's Democrat Governor Mikie Sherrill is having a complete meltdown over President Trump's brilliant decision to freeze $16 billion in federal funding for the massively overpriced Gateway Tunnel project – and her hysterical response proves exactly why Trump was right to pull the plug.

Sherrill, clearly panicking as her state's gravy train gets derailed, had the audacity to call Trump's fiscally responsible move an "illegal attack" on New Jersey. But what's really illegal here? How about decades of Democrats stealing taxpayer money for bloated infrastructure boondoggles that enrich their cronies while regular Americans struggle to pay their bills?

Democrats' Infrastructure Scam Exposed

The Gateway Tunnel project – a pet project of the swamp for years – represents everything wrong with Washington's spending addiction. While Sherrill claims 100,000 jobs are at risk, she conveniently ignores how this project has become a corrupt money pit that benefits well-connected contractors and union bosses rather than working families.

This is exactly the kind of wasteful government spending that President Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) were created to eliminate. Americans didn't elect Trump to keep funding the same failed projects that have drained our treasury for decades.

"We're not going to keep throwing good money after bad on these corrupt infrastructure schemes that only benefit the political class," a Trump administration source reportedly said.

Sherrill's desperate theatrics show she's more concerned about protecting her political donors than actually serving New Jersey residents who are being crushed by inflation and high taxes – problems created by years of Democrat mismanagement.

Trump Delivers on Promises

Once again, President Trump is keeping his campaign promises to drain the swamp and cut wasteful spending. While establishment politicians like Sherrill throw tantrums, real Americans are cheering these long-overdue budget cuts.

The question Patriots should be asking isn't why Trump froze this funding – it's why corrupt Democrats like Sherrill think they're entitled to unlimited taxpayer money for their pet projects while working families can barely afford groceries.

That tunnel project was nothing but a money pit from day one. How many billions were they planning to waste on that boondoggle?

I live in the area and let me tell you, there are SO many other infrastructure priorities that actually matter to working families. This tunnel was just going to benefit wealthy commuters anyway.

Same here! Fix our local roads first before building fancy tunnels for the elite.

Love seeing smart budget cuts in action. Every dollar saved is a dollar that stays with hardworking taxpayers where it belongs.

FINALLY! Someone with the backbone to cut wasteful spending. These Democrat governors have been treating the federal budget like their personal piggy bank for decades.

Exactly! And they always cry 'illegal' when their pet projects get defunded. It's called fiscal responsibility!

These governors need to learn the difference between federal and state responsibilities. Want your tunnel? Fund it yourself!

Trump knows how to run a budget unlike these career politicians. Cut the fat and keep America's finances strong!
