Looks like he's threatening Governors now with a shut down of funds for COVID-19 measures if they don't kow-tow to his edicts about "opening."
He's stepping over a line with that threat in a way that could easily backfire on the miserable SOB.
I wonder what he's going to say today at his daily COVID-19 (campaign) Briefing (rally). He's pushing some limits with this can could lead to some interesting consequences, should he piss off enough Republican Senators in states he cuts off.
Yes he is...
"Nice presidency you got there, Donwald...we wouldn't want nothing bad should happen to it, if you get what we're saying..."

(19,818 posts)At giving Arizona and Colorado more ventilators in the name of the gop senator thats in trouble.
He is seizing supplies from other states and using them
To hand out political favors.
He is profoundly and proudly evil.

(146,329 posts)It's in his nature. People in the states, however, elect Senators and House reps in those states.
He may be forgetting the, you know, people. He doesn't think about them very much, unless they're his voters.

Makes me think of the abuser who goes ballistic when the spouse gets a job.

California is a viable economic nation all by itself. So is New York.
