Back in August while on the campaign trail on X - Trump said the following:

Speaking about bullet trains, Trump said:

quote:

"They go unbelievably fast, unbelievably comfortable with no problems, and we don't have anything like that in this country. Not even close. And it doesn't make sense that we don't, doesn't make sense."

And Texas lobbyists and legislators of the GOP are funding them momentum in DC to have their monumental bill passed to cement Trumps legacy as the president who brought our public transportation into the 21st century

(See Bill > All Aboard Act - brought to the floor by Senator Markey and Ted Cruz behind the scenes).

This isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and yes that includes building high speed rail in Louisiana on tax payer dollars.

What a stupid take.. Bullet trains are fine... he just doesn't want to tell you that you can't have an internal combustion engine in 10 years. He wants you to have the option. Dems want to tell you what you can do and how to live your life.

Now give a PSA on how much money democrats wasted trying to do a regular train from Cally. It failed.

One can be all for high speed rail and still be MAGA. What part of, we could have built these all over with just the money wasted to study drunk chinese hookers, don't you get?

We can have nice things if we manage and budget like most every household does.

We can go to Mars or be able to go to the Int Space Station w/o bumming a ride from Russia.

If the neocons and neolibs would stop trying to nation build all over the world we could have nice things easily.

Bullet trains are great now that Trump wants them.

US cities are not laid out in a way that is conducive to trains. That isn't changing.

A European style train network is not necessary in the US, it would be a financial disaster for taxpayers.

I support Trump 100% but disagree with him on this. And I do understand that’s a foreign concept for you progressive retards.

Hope that helps

I always wanted them I don't care what Trump thinks about it.

This is a DeJa'Vu. I have been on here too long. I remember giving a I love bullet trains post and you said NO. it can't be done I am a train man.

There are Amtrack trains that blow through FAST for years. How could a bullet not work?

I’d take ICE trains all the time if we had them between large cities. They’re great.

Highways/Interstates for day trips and planes for long distance.
