Of course, I'm pissed that TSF canceled federal funding for the Gateway Project.

2. How to make working links. ... (tRump hates his home city.)

To get links like that to work, you need to substitute the parentheses and other characters that sometimes appear such as hash marks. It's a bit technical, but you look up "ascii parenthesis" and choose the unicode or hex value. Here's a good link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII

In particular, substitute %28 for ( and %29 for ).

There ASCII URL encoders and decoders, but they tend to encode colons and sometimes the slashes so they don't work too well.

https://ascii.cl/url-encoding.htm produces:
https%3A//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_Program_%28Northeast_Corridor%29

You might use them and maybe save a little time or trouble by just replacing the %3A with the colon, which is easy to remember since it is near the front and we've seen thousands of them:
