Trump Says Democrats Are ‘Playing a Game’ on Roads

President Trump accused Democrats of playing “a bit of game” on reaching an infrastructure deal, “saying he fears they will portray him as favoring a tax increase to pay for major investments in roads, rail, airports and other projects,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Trump: “But I also think we’re being played by the Democrats a little bit. You know, I think what they want me to do is say, ‘Well what we’ll do is raise taxes,’ and we’ll do this and this and this, and then they’ll have a news conference… ‘See, Trump wants to raise taxes.’ So it’s a little bit of a game.”
