People will pay more than you think.

So why go to all that expense if you are going to spread out the cost and make people all over the state pay for roads that they don't use.  i would be much smarter to save the extra expenses required to run a toll road and just build it with tax money.

It's surprisingly difficult to find a specific video of Trump lying/deceiving/breaking campaign promises these days.

Anyways, I didn't vote for Trump, but we as a people did.  We're all in this same boat, so it's a we thing unless I defect to Canada or drop dead.  And Trump voters won't ever feel like they got the short end of the stick as long as they were convinced Trump not winning was going to lead to the end times.
