The cumulative effect of Trump's daily stomping on his own aide's plans and statements means a week that White House officials intended as the start of the president fulfilling his campaign pledge to rebuild the country's roads, ports, bridges and airports will be remembered for anything but.
The president will deliver remarks at the Rivertowne Marina in Cincinnati.
The president continued his verbal assault on Democratic lawmakers for continuing to oppose the proposed American Health Care Act - the GOP's effort in the Senate to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. The president planned to travel to OH on June 7 to address ways of improving levees, dams and locks along inland waterways that are crucial to agricultural exports.
"More than half of the American steel produced in this country is produced within 250 miles of where we are right now and they need an inland water system they can depend on to ship their goods", Trump said. "And he's not letting the distractions get in the way of that", she said.
The White House has yet to detail specifics of the plan, but hopes to finance improvements using public-private partnerships. "It's time to recapture our legacy as a nation of builders and to create new lanes of travel, commerce, and discovery, and we're going to see all the way into the future, and the future's going to be attractive, and the future's going to be bright", he added.
Infrastructure was supposed to be the one area where President Donald Trump would find common ground with Democrats. I took none, actually none. "Remember 'you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan?' Didn't work out that way".

Trump offered Wednesday to personally broker a resolution to the Persian Gulf's escalating diplomatic crisis, as both he and Qatar's leader looked past his pointed suggestion only a day earlier that the tiny gas-rich nation enables terrorism.
The president planned to host governors and mayors at the White House on Thursday to discuss the use of tax dollars for infrastructure projects.
"Obamacare is dead", Trump said. "Obamacare was one of the biggest broken promises in the history of politics", he went on. Even as the White House tries to publicly focus on one issue, they are regularly knocked off course by news about Comey's remarks and messages sent out by the President, often on Twitter.
White House aides had hoped that what they called "infrastructure week" would provide new momentum for Trump's legislative agenda and focus the president's attention on a positive message during a week in which senior USA intelligence officials and former FBI director James B. Comey are testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee over the federal probe into the Trump campaign's contacts with Russian officials.
Comey will be questioned in particular on his contention that Trump asked him to end the FBI investigation into Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser, about Flynn's alleged ties to Russians, and possible collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign.
