Is Trump About To Start War With California ?
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The Trump administration is preparing to cancel a large swath of federal funding for California, an effort that could begin as soon as Friday, according to multiple sources.
Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California. Sources said the administration is specifically considering a full termination of federal grant funding for the University of California and California State University systems.
“No taxpayer should be forced to fund the demise of our country,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement Friday afternoon, criticizing California for its energy, immigration and other policies. “No final decisions, however, on any potential future action by the Administration have been made, and any discussion suggesting otherwise should be considered pure speculation.”
Singling out one state for massive cuts would be an unusual move, but President Donald Trump has long made Democratic-led California a target.
Just last month, he threatened to withhold federal funding from California over a transgender athlete’s participation in a sporting event — the latest example of the president trying to use funding as leverage to enact his agenda. The administration recently cut $126.4 million in flood prevention funding projects, and Trump repeatedly went after the state’s handling of devastating wildfires earlier this year. The president and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have also publicly feuded for years.

Trump doesnt care about anti-semitism, he cares about power, trying to get people he thinks are more elite than him to submit, and dominating the news.
Is he?.... last I heard, there were troops along the state line but I thought that was just to keep them in............/s
Trump has already cost California plenty. Because of Trump, his insults and unjustifiable and illegal teriffs, the usual number of Canadian tourists to California is greatly reduced, to the extent that Newsome is trying desperately to lure them back.
If California allows its citizens and illegals to continue attack federal agents, nothing is off the table.
If it wasn't for states like California, states like Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky would starve to death.
