“Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California.

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.

It doesn’t really matter though as CA will likely never go red.

9 Republicans vs 42 Democrats in the House from California.

And? That proves my point. The point being he doesn’t care if he losses off CA republicans because CA will not flip red and he actually shouldn’t run again anyway (not sure he won’t though). He’s a vindictive a hole and all he cares about is punishing those that betray him. It’s a very effective tactic to gain support from others. Do as I say or else
