It’s a badge of honor, here in Colorado, to be on Boss Hogg’s Enemies List, but it’s starting to hurt, BUT, he’s hurting his few allies(R) worst.

The state of Colorado might be President Donald Trump’s newest enemy.

Miffed at Colorado’s votes against him in three successive elections and furious at its refusal to free Tina Peters, a convicted election denier and ardent Trump supporter, Trump has opened an assault against the Democratic-run state. His administration has cut off transportation money, relocated the military’s Space Command, vowed to dismantle a leading climate and weather research center and rejected disaster relief for rural counties hammered by floods and wildfires.

A major escalation to Trump’s attacks on the state came Tuesday night, when he used the first veto of his second term to kill a pipeline project to provide clean drinking water to the state’s Eastern Plains, a largely conservative area.

If there were any doubts about Trump’s sentiments toward the state’s leaders, he posted a New Year’s Eve message telling Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, and the Republican district attorney in Mesa County who prosecuted Peters, Daniel P. Rubinstein, to “rot in Hell.”

“I wish them only the worst,” the president said.

Trump has never been shy about exacting retribution or using the levers of federal power to punish perceived enemies in his personal vendettas.
