President Donald Trump has warned Democrats that he will demand "adjustments" for sanctuary cities as a condition of bailout aid for states.The president suggested he may withhold funding from states with "radical left" sanctuaries in the next round of emergency coronavirus relief.Democrats are demanding at least $500 billion to fill state coffers drained by business shutdowns amid the COVID-19 crisis.

I recall reading his statements that the inflammatory media twisted to push this baloney and Trump never said any such thing. He made a separate comment to a question that aid funds shouldn't be for anything other than Covid issues........not mismanagement caused debt........and that the sanctuary state issue definitely needed to be addressed but at no time did he say funds would be with held from sanctuary states.

Just more bullshit from the media, directed at the left to inflame them and so to does it catch the unwary on the right like red meat to a starving coyote.

PDJT needs to withhold $$$ from all states with governors who are playing Doctor Mengele ... ie. banning doctors from prescribing HCQ/Zpak/zinc for patients not yet hospitalized.

This is a show stopper for Democrats. That would put CA an NY out of the loop - and they needed it most. I’m good with that.
