President Donald Trump on Wednesday slammed the Biden administration’s “globalist” multi-trillion infrastructure package, calling it a “monstrosity” that would be a disaster for American workers and send jobs overseas to China.
“Joe Biden’s cruel and heartless attack on the American Dream must never be allowed to become Federal law. Just like our southern border went from best to worst, and is now in shambles, our economy will be destroyed!,” Trump said about the president’s “Build Back Better” Plan in a statement.
“This legislation would be among the largest self-inflicted economic wounds in history. If this monstrosity is allowed to pass, the result will be more Americans out of work, more families shattered, more factories abandoned, more industries wrecked, and more Main Streets boarded up and closed down — just like it was before I took over the presidency 4 years ago,” the former president said.
Biden is scheduled to officially unveil the details of the first part of his jobs and infrastructure plan later Wednesday in Pittsburgh, where he launched his presidential bid from in 2019.
The sweeping plan would focus on rebuilding roads, bridges and airports, as well as combating climate change, expanding broadband, creating incentives for electric vehicles and restoring manufacturing.
The second part of the package would be built around domestic policy.
