People are focusing on Trumps demands for flattery and praise and his savage response to even the mildest criticism.
But that isnt the most important thing that is going on.
Trump is saying: Force your AG to drop her investigation of me, drop the court fight to see my tax returns, and do as I demand, or I will stand aside and do nothing while your people die. I may even take actions that actively make things worse for you. How much is investigating me worth to you?

(12,563 posts)Coumo and all blue state governors should withhold all federal revenues collected by the states in escrow accounts. Trump knows he'll never win in NY and NJ so he doesn't care if we all die.
