Trump wisely doesn't want taxpayers from other states having to subsidize the rebuilding of cities and businesses in states and cities where Democrat politicians condoned "peaceful" riots and looting...while also telling Trump to stay out of the way and not provide Federal help to them.

you think eye doctors will give you honest results? The optometrists are being paid by Cuomo with George Soros backing to falsify the the test results to make you think you're not seeing what is actually going on.

Trump s the only President in history to try to tie TAXPAYERS' funds to the politics of the recipients. Mondo bizarro.

Over the weekend, I went to visit a close friend who lives in a NYCHA project and was so surprised to see that boxes of food were being given out for free. The boxes contained eggs, vegetables, cans of tuna, chicken, also pasta and other foods. The boxes also had a letter from Trump saying that he is providing free food directly to tenants. I wonder if when he cuts the aid to these "anarchist" cities, if he will still provide these free boxes.

Lol, in my neighborhood the love letters in the boxes were fro A.O. C.!

Does anyone really think he is going to be President long enough to cut aid to anybody in any meaningful way ?

Technically, I'm not sure he can do it. It's Congress that decides who gets money, isn't it? He has some limited executive order power and veto power, but if something does get cut, it's not going to be all federal funds. Never mind that there are a lot of pre-existing grant agreements and laws and requirements that would have to be untangled for this to happen, and a lot of the defunding won't hold up in court.

I'm not a lawyer, but these articles seem to summarize the situation pretty acurately, as far as I can tell:
