Our ruling
Trump said, “There was a very large infrastructure bill that was approved during the Obama administration, a trillion dollars. Nobody ever saw anything being built.”
In practice, the stimulus had a mixed record. Beyond that, though, Trump’s characterization is flawed.

We rate the statement Mostly False.
