Will Trump retaliate against New Mexico?

President elect Trump is often portrayed by his Democratic opponents as being a downright Hitlerian figure. Among other things Hitler was known to be quite vindictive towards his enemies. In his first term Trump was hardly vindictive at all, most notably in his behavior towards Hillary Clinton. Will that change in his 2nd term?

Trump owes “deep blue” New Mexico nothing. We have no Republicans in any position of significant power for him to be concerned about.  And, when Trump came to town for a rally, our Gov., Land Commissioner, and Mayor of our largest city (Keller) all conspired in an attempt to prevent the speech from happening (at least smoothly).

If Trump DOES decide to punish his enemies, New Mexico could be in trouble. The State is consistently ranked among the most dependent on federal spending. It is also the only state (California is sort of an exception) with national nuclear labs. Dozens of sanctuary cities are found throughout New Mexico. Trump has already stated that he’ll take on these cities. Could he withhold federal funds in some way?

Trump seems much more serious about restraining spending than he was in his first term. He could specifically target New Mexico while ALSO reducing government spending. Will he?
