President Donald Trump promised to rebuild our national infrastructure. Recently, the Oroville Dam spillway in California developed a massive crater, compromising the integrity of the dam and leading to an emergency evacuation order for 200,000 people. Structural failure is the cause.
The dam was built in 1967. It is part of our failing national infrastructure that Congress has ignored for years.
Trump missed a wonderful opportunity to go to California, a state he did not win, and show his concern for the people there. It’s what a president does. And it would have gone a long way in giving infrastructure legislation a kickstart.
Instead, he put on a spectacle of a news conference that alarmed Americans and our allies abroad. Then he held a campaign-style rally in Florida to make it appear as if he was doing something.
News flash, Mr. President: Executive orders are not laws. Please get to work with Congress and rebuild our roads, bridges, airports and dams, and create some jobs. We’re watching.

Note from KBJ: Don't get your panties in a wad, Bernadine. President Trump has been in office for one month. Barack Obama had eight years to do what you want done. How many letters did you write?
