It WILL change if Trump goes down in a landslide and takes the GOP Senate majority with him!
You're engaging in the typical conservative 'false equivalency' argument. Sometimes one side is clearly right and the other is just as clearly wrong.
We both know that if Trump DID win we would soon hear about the 'Make America Great Again Infrastructure Bill'....even I like the sound of that.....and then the GOP would fall all over itself to appropriate money for it, after first passing a tax cut!
In THAT respect, it would be same o same o as the Bush years.

Republicans say nice things about infrastructure but haven’t shown any interest in paying for it. As a result, the nation has failed to take advantage of historically low interest rates to invest more in our overcrowded airports, outdated railways and flimsy bridges.

Through the stimulus and other programs, the Administration has helped promote a smart electric grid, a digitized health care system, and other investments that ought to be seen as infrastructure; spending billions of dollars on new concrete is not always the best approach to meeting the needs of a modern economy.
Still, our national infrastructure—the traditional concrete kind as well as the new-fangled digital kind—clearly needs an upgrade. In 2013, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave it a D-plus. And that was an improvement over the last report card.
Infrastructure advocates often complain that Obama hasn’t used his bully pulpit enough to push for an investment program. But he barnstormed the country for the American Jobs Act.
He has talked about rebuilding America in every State of the Union address. His problem is not a lack of will or poor messaging. His problem is that he doesn’t have the votes. Republicans control the House, and they can block legislation in the Senate. If they were willing to pass an Obama infrastructure bill, then an Obama infrastructure bill might make news.
