Donwald J. Trump Appears to Be on the Verge of More Extortion

[MineralMan]

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..."

1. Still nothing more than a two bit mob boss.

2. America is being held hostage by a terrorist.

6. He IS a terrorist.

3. Look

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.

4. Yes. He's already behaving politically when it comes to state aid.

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.

5. I posted my prediction of this days ago. I said the supplies would be a bludgeon

used on Governors who didn't open their states on his whim.

[MineralMan]

8. Yup. It's well within his capability and tendencies.

Reward his friends and punish his enemies. Typical warlord politics.

7. I think that Cuomo, Newsom, and the other governors who are forming these regional consortia...

...have crossed the Rubicon. They've made it plain that they've given up on relying for the Federal government for aid. That undercuts Trump's power. He won't stand for that.

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

[MineralMan]

9. Yes, so it seems. They appear to be banding together

to present a wall to Trump.

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

10. Didn't Susan Collins say trump learned his lesson?

I'm sure she's EXTREMELY concerned and disappointed now.

She might even have a furrowed brow.

11. What is Donnie Bodybags "giving" them now? Nothing.

No big loss.

[dalton99a]

12. Exactly. He's fucking worthless

[Initech]

13. He has gone completely mad with power.
