Trump's treatment of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer

I thinks he’s about to ruthlessly punish the states that hate him, using government response funding, and delays etc.
Very ‘Quid pro quo’ almost.

From the Clusterfuck thread:

While states like Maine and Colorado got a small fraction of the requested supplies, Florida received 300% of what they asked for.

“Florida has been an exception in its dealings with the stockpile: The state submitted a request on March 11 for 430,000 surgical masks, 180,000 N95 respirators, 82,000 face shields and 238,000 gloves, among other supplies — and received a shipment with everything three days later, according to figures from the state’s Division of Emergency Management. It received an identical shipment on March 23, according to the division, and is awaiting a third.”*
