New York and New Jersey are having a full-blown meltdown after the Trump administration did what any fiscally responsible government should do – froze $16 billion in federal funding for the massively over-budget Gateway tunnel project under the Hudson River.
The two blue states filed a lawsuit Tuesday, crying that the federal government is "illegally withholding" taxpayer dollars from their pet infrastructure boondoggle. But here's what they won't tell you: this project has been a financial disaster from day one, with costs spiraling out of control while bureaucrats line their pockets.
Social media lit up as news broke of the funding freeze, with @LIConnection sharing updates about the lawsuit: "TUNNEL FUNDING: New York and New Jersey sued the Trump administration on Tuesday for freezing $16 billion in federal funding for a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River."
This is classic Trump – cutting through the swamp's endless money grab and demanding accountability. While Democrats love throwing around taxpayer cash like confetti, the Trump-Vance administration is actually doing its job by scrutinizing where every dollar goes.
Deep State Infrastructure Scam EXPOSED
The Gateway project has been plagued by the same problems that infected every Biden-era infrastructure scheme: no oversight, no accountability, and no concern for hardworking Americans footing the bill. These aren't "investments" – they're slush funds for connected contractors and union bosses.
"See you in court," the states smugly declared. Good! Let them waste even MORE taxpayer money on lawyers while Trump's team exposes exactly where this $16 billion was really going to end up.
This lawsuit perfectly shows the difference between Trump's America First approach and the Democrats' swamp-first mentality.
Patriots across the country are cheering as Trump once again proves he's the only president willing to stand up to these endless government grifts. While New York and New Jersey politicians throw their tantrum in court, real Americans know Trump is fighting for every tax dollar we send to Washington.
How long will it take for these blue state governors to realize Trump isn't backing down from their lawfare tactics?
