"It was candidate Trump’s
best trick. Now it’s stalling President Trump’s agenda." 9-28-2017

On Tuesday, Trump told a handful of Republicans and Democrats in a White House meeting that he was now opposed to public-private partnerships for infrastructure programs. He cited the example of a toll road in northern Indiana that fell into bankruptcy.
"He dismissed it categorically and said it doesn’t work," said Rep. Brian Higgins, D-N.Y., who brought up the issue with Trump at the White House. "And in fact, pointed to [Vice President Mike Pence] and said they tried in their state and it didn’t work."
Senior administration officials were flabbergasted. They had spent months designing a $1 trillion infrastructure plan that centered on the idea of privatizing roads, air traffic control systems and other networks. On Wednesday, they were still trying to sort through whether Trump had misspoken or changed policy.
Trump’s team had planned to issue his infrastructure plan in May, but they have been beset by delays, in part because they cannot agree on how to finance the entire operation.
