Chuck Darwin<p>If Trump is reelected we can expect him to hold recovery funds hostage and to extort the victims favors:<br>Four years ago this week, it became clear that Donald Trump would husband emergency pandemic resources like ventilators and personal protective equipment for Republican-run states.<br>Or rather,&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;made it&nbsp;clear Blue-state leaders would get to see their residents die gasping for air unless they feigned fulsome praise for his pandemic response in public.&nbsp;<br>“If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call,”&nbsp;he declared.</p><p>Three days ago this morning, an enormous cargo ship lost power and drifted into a pillar holding up the Francis Scott Key bridge, which collapsed instantly into the Patapsco River in Baltimore, MD.&nbsp;<br>Already the contrast with Trump’s response to COVID-19, devoid as it was of common humanity, is stark. <br>But it's not just the contrast that looms large in my mind. <br>It’s also the recognition that the Baltimore rescue might still be underway seven months from now when voters cast their ballots for president. <br>And we know from Trump’s response to COVID, and to a number of other disasters that struck non-Republican states and territories during his single term, that if he inherits the effort to rebuild after this disaster, he will likely <a href="https://c.im/tags/sabotage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sabotage</span></a> it or hold it <a href="https://c.im/tags/hostage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hostage</span></a> until the leaders of Baltimore and Maryland offer him political favors or concessions. <br>It’s a reminder in microcosm of one of Trump’s most disqualifying abuses of power, and why it’s critical for real reporters to press him for a response to the Key bridge calamity<br>—whether he intends to resume using federal disaster resources as a tool to <a href="https://c.im/tags/extort" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extort</span></a> his political enemies</p><p><a href="https://www.offmessage.net/p/trump-covid-francis-scott-key-bridge" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">offmessage.net/p/trump-covid-f</span><span class="invisible">rancis-scott-key-bridge</span></a></p>
