As it turns out, however, the problem isn’t limited to Capitol Hill. The New York Times reported:

In southern Connecticut, the federal government is replacing a 118-year-old bridge along America’s busiest rail corridor. The $1.3 billion project was largely funded by the 2021 infrastructure law that was championed by then-President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — and strenuously opposed by Donald J. Trump. These days, however, motorists cruising by the construction site might be forgiven for thinking that a certain famous New York developer was responsible for it all.

“PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” the sign by the road declares. “REBUILDING AMERICA’S INFRASTRUCTURE.”

Four years ago, the then-former president, desperate to deny his successor a political victory following his own failure on the issue, called the bipartisan infrastructure bill “a loser” for the country and predicted a voter backlash against any Republicans who dared to support it. (The package’s GOP proponents ignored the rhetoric and faced no electoral pushback.).....

After he returned to the White House, Trump and his team started taking credit for domestic investments that were made while Biden was still president. Trump also claimed credit for reductions in illegal border crossings that happened before his second inaugural.

On a nearly daily basis, the Republican incumbent condemns his Democratic predecessor as the worst president in history. But if that were true, why does Trump keep seeking credit for Biden’s work?
