Trump signed a memorandum Wednesday aimed specifically at New York; Portland, Oregon; Seattle; and Washington, D.C., but including steps that could affect other U.S. cities.

Why should they pay for the malpractice/dereliction of the IMPOTUS? Trump actually encourages violence. Trump is actually incompetent as a national leader, as well as brewing incredibly dishonest and corrupt.

Why hasn't Trump asked for review of federal funds from these cites FBI 2019 report has the highest crime rates per 100,000 people?

St. Louis tops the list in violent crime + had rioting...why are they not being assessed???  Hartford, CT has more crime than NY city.... just saying.

Nationwide:

Baltimore, Md., had the highest reported violent crime rate per 100,000 inhabitants

St. Louis, Mo., had the highest reported murder rate per 100,000 inhabitants
