Trump signaled Tuesday that he’s looking to condition coronavirus economic relief for blue states on complying with the administration’s immigration policy goals.
In remarks to reporters at a White House event with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Trump said he’d be willing to give economic aid to Democratically controlled state governments, but he wants them to do something for him first — bend their sanctuary city policies to align with the administration’s desired policy.
Trump said he was only open to helping some states financially cover losses related to the coronavirus pandemic.
“I think there’s a big difference with a state that lost money because of Covid and a state that’s been run very badly for 25 years,” he said.
He then mentioned sates with sanctuary city policies.
“We’d have to talk about things like sanctuary cities, as an example. I think sanctuary cities is something that has to be brought up where people who are criminals are protected, they are protected from prosecution,” he told reporters, despite sanctuary city policies having nothing to do with the pandemic. “I think that has to be done. I think it’s one of the problems that the states have. I don’t even think they know they have a problem, but they have a big problem with the sanctuary situation.”
Later in the day, Trump reiterated his sanctuary city comments while taking questions from reporters at an East Room event to promote the success of the Payroll Protection Program. “If it’s Covid-related, I guess we can talk about [aid], but we’d want certain things also, including sanctuary city adjustments,” he said.

Stop setting yourself up for a huge disappointment. Don't look at single polls and instead look at the aggregate.

You also should read articles before you post them. This was in the middle of the article you linked.
Quote:
Even though Trump's approval ratings concerning how he has handled the country's response to the coronavirus have dropped, those surveyed still believed he would win a second term as president. While 43.3 percent of participants in the poll believed Biden would win the election, 56.7 percent believed Trump would emerge the victor.

Quote:South Korea, doing exactly the opposite of what Trump did, avoided all the drama caused by Trump's ineffectual response to Covid-19. But if you want to vote for a loudmouth braggart who is failing compared to South Korea, go right ahead.

lol
Well there's no way I'm voting for a 2020 Democrat.
I don't know why you keep obsessing over Trump. You're just going to have to live with him for another 5 years and then we can have a Democrat screwing things up for everybody.

Quote:"China will do anything they can to have me lose this race," Trump said. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded that the country had "no interest" in interfering in internal US affairs. "For some time, certain US politicians, in disregard of the facts, have attempted to shift their own responsibility for their poor handling of the epidemic to others," a ministry spokesman, Geng Shuang, said.

The mortality numbers show Trump as the most incompetent leader on Earth, far worse than China:

Yes. I know exactly what he means. Like three years of hearing that the poor handling of Hillary's campaign was really just Putin hackin' muh elections.

Quote:Trump received 48.18% to Hillary's 47.46% in Pennsylvania, but Trump got 100% (equal to 20 votes) in the electoral college. It appears that the Founding Fathers never understood a run-off election when nobody gets 50%. In a run-off Trump would lose.

That's why Trump is President -- the Founding Fathers weren't that good at drafting a Constitution.

Hi. Just checking in. 5 more years of Trump, LOL. We barely survived 3. Another term and we go full-on Nazi. Pretty close as it is now. I'll check back in a few if Trump loses. If not we're all dead or dying in which case I won't.
