MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Trump Launches New Domestic Bribery Scandal By Threatening to Withhold Emergency COVID-19 Relief Funds to Critical Battleground State Michigan Unless It Aids His Reelection Campaign By Blocking Mail-in Voting, Which He Has Declared Would Hurt His 2020 Bid

NOTE2/ Trump literally just I'd-like-you-to-do-me-a-favor-thoughed *an entire U.S. state*.
And he did it in the middle of the biggest public health emergency in the last century.
