TCJA – penalized democratic states by removing the SALT deduction
He tried to get Ukraine to announce that they are investigating Biden (not actually investigating, just announce they are investigating) and seemingly held up aid to Ukraine to accomplish this.
He denied that there was a serious pandemic facing the US until mid-March. He was comparing it to the flu and saying the US is doing a great job. How can we trust that his lies here did not impact the US’s ability to respond to an epidemic that is killing a lot of people in our community. – I would go further and suggest that deep seated support of Trump in our community resulted in a very partisan view of COVID-19 by many and as a result many were late to the game in recognizing the threat posed here. At the same time “liberals” and the “MSM” were warning about this, yet too many get their news from Brietbart, Fox, and the opinion column in the FJJ.
So yes, I would be very wary that he would put personal ambition over country. Guess what, every Governor is acting this way and they are being very careful in their messaging as they are afraid Trump will be petty and decide to penalize a State and let people die. No one would have been concerned about Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr, Carter, or Reagan being so petty.
