What happened
The White House declared an 'Infrastructure Week' at least seven separate times between June 2017 and May 2019, each derailed — the June 2017 launch by the Comey testimony, the August 2017 permitting push by Trump's 'very fine people on both sides' remarks after Charlottesville, the February 2018 rollout of a $1.3 trillion public-private plan by the Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels payment story, and the spring 2019 effort by Trump walking out of a meeting with Pelosi and Schumer. No infrastructure bill ever passed under Trump, and 'Infrastructure Week' became a Washington punchline for something permanently two weeks away.
