The Trump you speak of then went on to sign the Democratic budget that gave Amtrak more money than it ever had in history.
You know who hates Amtrak more than you say Trump does? The Amtrak board and CEO have done more damage to the Amtrak system than your orange bad man could ever dream of! (the bus idea for the southwest by the ceo, which made Mica tantrums about flowers and table cloth seem like a bad joke)
Don't forget the donkey party the Amtrak board was seated by.
