Will California Secede? President Donald Trump’s Threat To ‘Defund’ Golden State May Not Yield Expected Results, Reports Show

President Donald Trump’s recent suggestion that he may “defund” the state of California after tussles over the Golden State’s stand on immigration is something that's easier said than done, reports show.

In an interview with Fox News host Bill O’Reilly before the Super Bowl, Trump said: “We give tremendous amounts of money to California,” without mentioning that the state also adds to the federal coffers, the Los Angeles Times reported.
