President Trump says it would be unfair to Republicans if Congress passes coronavirus 'bailouts' for states because he said the states that would benefit from that funding are run by Democrats.

Maryland's GOP governor, Larry Hogan, chairman of the National Governors Association, has also been urging Congress to send states financial aid. His state faces a nearly $3 billion budget shortfall this year.

Hogan said that if Congress doesn't appropriate at least $500 billion specifically for states and territories to meet budget shortfalls,"states will have to confront the prospect of significant reductions to critically important services all across this country.

The states are required to balance their budgets, and Cuomo has said that if McConnell thinks bankruptcy is such a great idea, then he should pass a bill in Congress permitting the states to go that route. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called McConnell"out of touch" and warned that idea would lead to"hundreds of thousands" of state and local government employees' potentially being fired or furloughed.

Crook in charge of NOLA, leaves 3 bodies in wreck of Hardrock Hotel for months to demolish building & tamper w/forensic evidence to prevent autopsy. Dems are traitorous crooks; notoriously!

Trump is right: Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane that hit New York, anytime its a hurricane or earthquake & Dems in charge, it’s disaster. Dem in chg of LA, disaster. 🗿

Cuomo already wasted millions of taxpayers money on his phony we need ventilators and more hospital beds. Not to mention all the nurses and doctors they had sitting around doing nothing. No money for NY.

Cuomo was 6.1 billion dollars in the hole before the virus hit. Trump is right, manage your state better. “Free stuff” all around is not sustainable. Especially when you encourage businesses to leave your state

Starving states of leadership needed during a National Disaster is Fed Gov job and not any different than Katrina's Hurricane Relief.

Cuomo was facing a 6 BILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT , reported in NOV 2019, that was BEFORE the VIRUS. DO NOT bailout these failed states!! TAX payers should NOT have to pay for their pet projects!!

TRUMP worlds STUPIDEST CREATURE!! WHAT hes the leader of less than 50 states!!?

Screw Cuomo he didn’t held new yorks money right now he wants Trumps help Screw Cuomo

This guy.... this guy is giving us moral guidance? Explaining how good citizens should act? This guy.... this absolute bag of wet sand... SMH...

“Bailouts” that’s priceless. Especially for states like NY, CA and MA that pay the federal govt more than they get back any year. Bullshit! Those states “bailout” those republican states every year. Them and us in a time of need. Aren’t we better than this America?

Given that the Dem blue states that need help in recovery most are those who contribute more in tax money than most red states which are bailed out yearly, that is bull. New York is one of the 10 'donor' states that give the most and get the least. Connecticut gets the very least

And yet people will still vote for him.... If you don't vote in Nov, you don't have a right to complain. Every vote counts.... Even though he lost the popular vote in 2016, every vote counts in the swing states. United States of America.... Or Divided States of America now. usa

And his Bull continues! This is suppose to be The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and he continues to divide this country. He then has his followers believe every word that comes out of his hateful mouth🤬

When your state was billions of dollars in deficit before the Coronavirus, sounds like that might be an issue with the governor of that state, Governor Cuomo can get money all you have to do is claim bankruptcy and show the world your incompetence!!!!!!

Trump is going to get us killed. The stuff that comes out of his mouth and the actions he takes....... it’s crazy. It’s like a nightmare that won’t go away. Can’t just wake up and make it disappear. Forced to have to play this thing out and pray for the best.

Americans are still Americans, no matter what political party they follow!!!!

You can print that he lied ya know.

You’re ALL Americans.....right?

Trump is supposed to be president for ALL states!!!

Thought he was elected to be president of ALL of the U.S.

45 worst POTUS ever!!!

So much for being the United States.

Makes sense. The states needing bailouts are the states with poor leadership...hmmm 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤔

Funny, I thought the states were run by Americans!

Trump is a sham and a horrific leader who has no basic comprehension of how our economy works. realDonaldTrump YOU STINK, POTUS.

Says the guy with six unsuccessful business bankruptsies including several casinos, hotels, the New Jersey Generals football team, and the now-defunct Trump University.

The worst thing that Americans did was give an idiot power. Case closed.

Time for Trump to remove his cranium from his anus and realize this isn't a Dem vs Rep issue. It's the whole damn world against a deadly virus, and he's too stupid and too focused on himself to run the US part of the battle.

Financial help without paying back = bailout. You can issue more muni bonds, plenty of suckers are willing to pay good money for muni bonds.

Fck that b*tch realDonaldTrump

He's right

Awww Feelings... How about , we are not putting a penny towards your $9 billion deficit from 2019..

Maybe do an expose (real journalism for once) on why so many Democratic run states are going bankrupt and why 8 of the 9 top states with highest number of COVID deaths are Democratic run states.

No bailout for states and their corrupt democrat politicians.

Right. It’s our money! Just give it back to us.

have fun watching it all burn down around you, idiot politicians.

What is more divisive than claiming it’s not fair to give disaster aid to states tun by the opposing party?

What part of President of the United States does he not understand. Not President of Republican states

Maybe I shouldn't pay any federal taxes since they go to helping a Republican run Fed and that's unfair to me fucktrump

So, with that logic half of Americans are not really Americans !

You're President of the entire country not just the GOP 🤦🏻‍♂️

He really is that stupid.

Do American taxpayers live those states?

Dividing the country just as planned

The divider in chief strikes again!

The message is that democrats governors are failures. They've failed their states. That's his message.

Russia is getting their money's worth!

He has

Is there a state where there are no Republicans? I would like to know.

OMG, the tRump HORROR SHOW!!!

The more Trump HIGHLIGHTS his IGNORANCE the bigger chances of his REMOVAL from the WH!! Keep on talking Trump

HUMANS LIVE IN THE STATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEOPLE YOU POS !!!!!!!!!

The. End. Of. The. USA. Is. Coming.....the movie should be called Helpless in the USA as it descends into death & chaos....Putin wins, game over

Sickening

I guess I don't live in U.S.A I live in Democrat Country! All my life ...I thought different 🙄😳😂

So he's biased.... Duh

BLUE STATES CARRY THIS FREAKING COUNTRY!!!!

All states are USA states.

Isn’t he the President for the UNITED STATES of America? We are ALL one country.

The concept of cooperation is way outside his understanding.

Republicans should croak.

realDonaldTrump So with NC I have a democrat governor but at the federal level they are republicans. So if you start that crap, you would potentially be giving up your Republican voters because of you once again dividing the country.

GDP for California 5 in the world. Russia 15 This blue state runs better than all of Russia in spite of Corruption and Murder.

The people which EVERY state serves are ALL Americans, Mr. Trump. This is why the ENTIRE country pays to help out our fellow Americans nearly every year who are devastated by hurricanes, even though they strike “Red” States. We are ALL Americans.

There it is! People are dying in states that are considered Dem-so Trump feels it’s ok to let a Dem state suffer-maybe he should consider that in these so-called “blue” states there are a great many Republicans living there who will suffer as well because of this policy-stupid

Are you the president of the United States or president of the republicans?

This is depraved, crazy talk. As deaths mount across the country, taxpayers sickened by COVID-19 — and watching loved ones die — will increasingly turn against Trump, America’s destroyer.

Maybe the Democratic states should no longer send funds to the Federal Government because the red states will benefit from it. Seems fair, right? Especially since the red states receive more from the pot.

he is just so damn infuriating... can't we get rid of him?

And most states hit by hurricane disasters getting disasters funds is unfair to democrats because they have shitty wooden houses ? realDonaldTrump foxnews IdiotInChief

My God what a horrendous President and a horrible human being.

He's mentally deranged. Who cares they are Democrat or Republican states !!! We're talking about AMERICAN PeopLE & American lives !!! And Democrat run states are actually the states that carry U.S Economy anyway. Who has seen iPhone made in ALABAMA or FLORIDA!

Soooooo, no republicans live these states?

Ugh, lies.

How stupid can this President be? Didn't he understand Cuomo's excoriation of Mitchell? You know where he relayed the FACT that NY gives 38 billion more to the federal government than it gets back. While Florida and most all red states suck off the federal tit?

Don’t they also contribute the most in taxes and other government income?

Are Democrats americans? I’m confused...

That’s a nice big “F-you” to all Americans living in blue states... including Republicans...

He's a piece a shit. Prove me wrong.

Wrong, the GOP states need the biggest piece of the pie. The Democratic run states, pay far in, them they take out...

As usual, that’s not what he said

It is no longer about human health, safety and economy....it is about politics...it is a shame, that Trump can not be the President for all Americans, and rise about party politics...still fixated in politics of hate...

And all this time I thought we were the United States.

He’s got a great point

He’s barely human

This man actually put his hand on his mother's bible swore an oath. Shameful

If you are a republican living in a blue state. Your boy trump just cut you loose!

Isn’t realDonaldTrump President of of the ENTIRE UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 POTUS WhiteHouse jaredkushner PressSec

Which states contribute and which states, like KY are parasites?

Why hasn't he caught Covid-19?

Of course people who live in democratic states aren’t really Americans Not a partof who he represents ?
