Withholding federal aid to states that need it? Yep, another tantrum from the President

When you get right down to it, President Trump's basic policy is this:

Do as I say, but don't do as I do.

In other words, while Trump, who now calls Florida his primary home, having gone all Benedict Arnold on New York, was able to send in an absentee ballot for the recent Florida primary, he is of the misguided, mistaken notion that if states like, say, for example, Michigan, which has a Democratic governor, wants to send applications out for absentee ballots for the general election on November 3, then it's wrong.

Guess what, Mr. President? It isn't. Not when your own party is doing the same thing in the states they are running, like Florida and Texas, for example.

So what does the President do? He threatens to withhold federal aid to Michigan, which could certainly use disaster relief with flooding earlier this week.



Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson became the man-child's latest target, and, like Governor Gretchen Whitmer, she fired back.

What Trump is angling to do amounts to voter suppression, in order to ensure that he is re-elected in November. What candidate in his right mind would do that?

Other than in the movies, none that I can think of. As usual, Trump, as well as his bubble-headed spokeswoman, Kayleigh McEnany, couldn't legitimize any claims of wrongdoing by the state of Michigan. 7.7 million applications were sent out of the state as a precaution, just in case we're still dealing with the coronavirus in the fall. Trump mistakenly thought the ballots were being sent out, which would've been 5 1/2 months too early, since the nominating conventions haven't taken place yet, so the ballots wouldn't have been printed out anyway.

Given Trump's recent round of bizarre statements, including touting medicines that aren't designed to treat the coronavirus, and a Washington Post article which alleges that Trump doesn't read his daily briefings from his staffers at all, one wonders if he's got some real health issues that he's keeping from the public.

He's the poster child for Adult Attention Deficit Disorder and short attention span. He has repeatedly embarrassed us on the world stage. And, yet, when things don't go his way, what happens?



Exactly.
