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”

The HHS list, which was sent Friday to the White House budget office, represents the 1,500-plus funding awards that have gone to the four cities since 2018. Each federal department also faced a Friday deadline to submit their own lists to the Office of Management and Budget, which will make the final decisions about funding.

The White House budget office has previously said the administration will use the data to determine whether to bar cities from being eligible for new federal cash. “We need to review the information with agencies before we know,” according to the official. “Grant programs all have different authorities so it’s going to be case by case.”

A $1.8 million grant for Oregon’s Multnomah County, which includes Portland, and a $880,000 grant to King County, both to help community and migrant health centers care for Covid-19 patients, are also under review.

The corruption will never stop until WE vote the BASTARD out of office! He needs to be utterly and completely humiliated so that everything around him will feel its closing in.

He can't do this.

I want a President for all Americans!

Trump is a very sick, hateful animal. To strike at your political foes by taking away medical benefits from the sick and the poor are acts of a very evil creature. I want those 'Christians' who support this man to show ANY teachings of Jesus Christ that would condone this!

Trump don’t give a damn he open a discriminate against Democrats

pro-life indeed 🙄

These cities should consider slashing their quarterly federal income taxes! Take that 45!

Corona Joe knows he and his crack head son Hunter are going to jail if he's not elected to POTUS - RICO laws broken.

Shit shit shit. There goes my friend’s job on Capitol Hill too. How is this helping anyone?!

Wasn’t the fat guy going to eradicate AIDS within a decade?

Can you really believe and support this half a$$ president protecting only political Republican red states?

A vote for realDonaldTrump is a VOTE to REMOVE HEALTHCARE ! VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

VoteTrump2020

TraciiGuns Works for me. You can’t expect bailouts if you let your cities burn to make a political point.

Davo20890211 Knows he's not going to win. Going scortched earth.

Punish them by withholding THEIR money, until they are loyal to me. Fuck off! How about us “rogue” states stop propping up red states and and let them fend for themselves on their own economy!

We are all Americans. We all pay taxes. We all should receive equal treatment from the federal government.
