So far the lefty talking points related to this seem to be:

1- This will cost Trump Minnesota in the election (but if he had approved the funding, it would have been "He is buying votes!")

2- The truth is coming out that the rioters/looters/arsonists were mostly organized right wing provocateurs.
This looks right so far, but it is so pathetically weak on the first point, and so demonstrably false on the second point, that it seems likely that they will try to come out with something even more implausible to try to spin this their way.

I don't know if Trump will win my state, Minnesota.


It will be as close as 2016, where he nearly won this traditionally "blue" presidential state, all while nearly doing nothing here the whole time.

Biden, IMO, is an even worse candidate than Hillary this go-round, and that's really saying something. Even Biden knows he has no business being President, evident in his promise to be a one-term president (and empty suit for a very radical and anti-white racist woman of color).

The Democrat governor apparently has no capacity for shame, even asking for this money. What is the matter with this guy? The Democrats in Minessota created this hell and therefore it would be wrong to have that funded by the federal government and the American taxpayer.

Good move, Mr. President.
It is a 10th Amendment issue.

Why should other States residents pay for your residence destruction?
Go pound sand.

If some random person across town burns his own house down whilst throwing a tantrum, do you go pay for his house to be rebuilt?

Obviously, the poster is a liberal. He wants YOU to pay for the tantrum thrower's house to be rebuilt.

So...you're saying that Trump has the integrity to do what is right even if it hurts him politically?

I'm glad you can at least admit that!
