President Trump threatened to punish Democrats by putting "Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities" in a tweet Friday.

Trump's statement on Twitter came soon after both the White House and Homeland Security said the idea had been rejected.

I'm curious how far the president will take this sort of political gamesmanship.

In order to convince California to oppose the Affordable Care Act, will Trump send us more of that scary socialist health care?

Will he send us more clean air as a way to convince us to gut the Clean Air Act?

The possibilities are endless!
