California has been forced to cancel the massive bullet train project after having spent and wasted many billions of dollars. They owe the Federal Government three and a half billion dollars. We want that money back now. Whole project is a “green” disaster!

We should never have given it out to California. I hope Trump puts the stop to freebies for California and lets them float on their socialist boat freely of being supported by the rest of us

No it isn't!

"This is California’s money.”

How so?

It is the lefty logic to claim something as your own which has never been.

Look at the body language of Newsom as he is touching Trump: isn't that revolting?

Newsome knows how to play the game, as he isn't canceling the first step, famously known as the train from nowhere to nowhere (Bakersfield to Merced), and "postponing" the rest, when the biggest chunk of California money would kick in.

While I agree with the President's sentiment, he's on shaky ground asking for a refund. The federal taxpayer money was for a feasibility study. If there's evidence of fraud by California or any contractors who contributed to the study that declared the train would be of positive value, there might be grounds to ask for some or all of the study money back. Otherwise, it should be a lesson learned not to fall into this trap again.

Holy crap....where were you all my life President Trump? Once again he has smacked down the swamp dwellers. What a fricking rock star! What the hell are we going to do in 6 years when he is out.

Hey, they blew $2 billion on a non-functional website for the new ACA programs. If they paid $3.5 billion for a feasibility study, they at least got something out of it... [/sarcasm]

Somebody should be going to jail for this...
