    “But you have a governor who let the city burn down, didn’t want water to be sent down to him,” Trump complained about Newsom and January’s wildfires. “I mean, I sent billions of gallons of water. I wanted to do it in the first term. He wouldn’t do it over. I don’t know, they have environmental reasons, but there were no environmental reasons. It’s, I think it’s just a political philosophy. But it’s lucky for the people in Los Angeles and in California that we did what we did.”

    They dumped an entire reservoir full of water designed for agriculture purposes, into the fucking ocean! That reservoir didn’t even connect to LA’s supply.

      I wish he would have the governor arrested. I want to see him send in the states on national guard or state police and take Newman. Then maybe the fucking democrats would wake the fuck up and see they need to do more then strongly worded letters. But Trump won’t this all smoke and mirrors he to big of wuss to do it. Come on Taco do it I triple dog dare you. Lets light this candle.

      Yeah, but running for President when you aren’t eligible for the office for fomenting rebellion really is a crime.

        It’s unconstitutional, but I don’t think simply holding office when you’re forbidden is a crime. Maybe lying in your oath of office is a crime?

    This is him normalizing the accusation, because he knows it will be made at him in 2028.

    If Newsome and others are successful in their defense/cases on this, Trump can say “they did it, so I can do it” in 2028 (giving the media their sane washing angle to investigate and content create about). If the governors he goes after are unsuccessful - he’ll further prove his absolute power.

    It’s win win.

    I wish Trump would drop dead, like yesterday. Rapist Racist Nazi sack of shit of a human, although human is a stretch when describing this stench of a “man”.

      “ In today’s executive order I have announced that Bob and Doug McKenzie are to be arrested for calling me a ‘hoser’. I have never used a garden hose.”

    And then at some point, it gets reversed with an article that states “Newsom Asked Why He Thinks He Can Arrest Donald Trump — Says He Committed ‘Crime’ of ‘Running For President’”

      American society values confidence above all else, especially intelligence or competence. Unfortunately, a lot of confident people are assholes and/or morons.

    This drama is a setup for elevating Newsom to the Democrat audience and push back on the progressives. And fuck knows, Newsom isn’t a progressive.
