Your daily bananas Trump corruption story:It's about a bridge connecting Michigan to Canada that's due to open, until the billionaire owner of the existing clogged bridge called Trump and asked him to keep the new bridge closed.Nuclear grade corruption. All out in the open.

Trump is also trying to block opening of a new bridge between US & Canada if Canadian officials did not address his long & growing list of grievances. Note that the guy who owns a rival bridge has also personally been lobbying Trump to prevent competitionwww.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/u…

If you’re late to the controversy surrounding Trump and the Gordie Howe International Bridge (as I was), it’s a doozy:- billionaire donor wants a lucrative monopoly- he calls Lutnick- Lutnick calls Trump- Trump rejects his own position, does what the billionaire wantswww.ms.now/rachel-maddo…
