translated from Spanish: Trump unleashes controversy by rejecting bailout to Democratic-ruled states

US President Donald Trump has questioned on Monday that taxpayers’ money is used to rescue “poorly managed” states and cities by Democratic Party rulers.” Why should people and taxpayers in the United States rescue poorly managed states and cities (such as Illinois, for example), always ruled by Democrats, when most other states have not asked for help? I’m open to debating anything,” Trump said through his Twitter account.The message has fueled the already intense debate about federal aid to states that are investing a lot of resources in the fight against coronavirus.” This is no time to talk about dollars and cents among members of a community trying to support and support each other,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at his daily press conference. In any case, he has stressed that New York has “been rescuing” other states for decades. “If you want to analyze who contributes and who receives (…) nobody puts more money than the state of New York,” he said.” But if you want to keep that count, which I think is disgusting right now, I think it’s not constructive and I don’t think it’s healthy, you’re making a mistake, because you’d lose out,” he said. Cuomo has been harshly criticized after announcing this weekend cuts in public spending by $10 billion, $8,200 in items such as education, healthcare and municipal services.
