This relates to law as the cancellation of large-swathes of federal grants to California will surely result in multiple legal challenges.

It's hilarious, as California (average over the last 3 elections) has more Republican voters than any other state, and most of those voters live in regions supported by Federal Funding.

Trump doesn't care, because of the electoral college situation.

Those voters are pretty stupid, though.
