The White House is considering slashing millions of dollars for coronavirus relief, HIV treatment, screenings for newborns and other programs in Democratic-led cities that President Donald Trump has deemed “anarchist jurisdictions,” according to documents obtained by POLITICO.

New York, Portland, Ore., Washington, D.C., and Seattle could lose funding for a wide swath of programs that serve their poorest, sickest residents after the president moved last month to restrict funding, escalating his political battle against liberal cities he’s sought to use as a campaign foil.

The Department of Health and Human Services has identified federal grants covering those services, which are among the nearly 200 health programs that could be in line for cuts as part of a sweeping government-wide directive the administration is advancing during the final weeks of the presidential campaign and amid an intensifying pandemic Trump has downplayed.

1. Well, he cut the national testing program because he thought only Blue states would get Covid

2. So much for believing that all life is precious.

5. Only unborn life is precious. The rest of the lives on the planet, they could give fuck all about.

And while they haven't usually been this vocal about it, they've believed it for at least 20 years...PNAC ring any bells? They damn sure didnt give a SINGLE fuck about the lives of any human beings living between Cairo and Kandahar..

3. Who does this??? Who votes for this ???

Pure evil.

4. Can he actually control these funds?

6. My grandson is a supervisor in a clinic that screens newborns within hours after birth.

That is done for several neighboring states, some of which are Democratic.

He should never be allowed to slash funding for democratic states, no matter how he feels.

Too bad he can't understand he is a so-called "leader" for all people. Idiot!
