Former President Trump presented a dystopian image of California as a warning about what would happen to the nation if Kamala Harris is elected president.

Trump said if he were elected, he would stop sending California federal firefighting aid unless Gov. Gavin Newsom, whom he referred to repeatedly as “Newscum,” enacted his policy priorities on issues such as water and taxes.

I’ll note that the most fire-prone parts of California tend to be Republican-majority areas.

      It really wouldn’t, and he actually did this during his last term.

      Hell, he passed a tax cut mostly targeted at red states and just smirked.

      We really should try turnabout next time.
