Gavin Newsom turns up uninvited in LA to greet unimpressed Trump, beg for federal aid after weeks of Gavin Newsom turns up uninvited in LA to greet unimpressed Trump, beg for federal aid after weeks of feuding

Please, Don, may I have some more?

President Trump was greeted warmly by Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom as the commander in chief exited Air Force One upon arrival in Los Angeles Friday — making nice after Trump blasted his management of the crisis.

Trump, 78, and Newsom, 57, talked briefly and animatedly after the president descended the steps of his jet — with the governor alternately pointing, making a fist and giving a thumbs up.

The awkward greeting, in which both men patted each other on the shoulder, ended with Newsom, who had not been officially invited, giving first lady Melania Trump a peck on the cheek.

After speaking briefly to TV cameras, Newsom scuttled away as Trump toured the disaster area and met with residents, firefighters and officials, including Mayor Karen Bass and most of the area’s congressional delegation.

“I appreciate the governor coming out and meeting me,” Trump told reporters on the tarmac.

The governor flattered Trump to the assembled media — hours after the president suggested that federal aid to rebuild the Golden State would be granted on the “condition” of state legislators first requiring IDs to vote in the state.

“We will, we’re going to get it done,” he concurred, adding: “We will get it permanently fixed so it can’t happen again.”

Gavin Newsom? He was also told he will turn on the water from N. CA and leave it on for farming and for cities all over the state.

The CA ComDem are all Insane. Totally inept. Incapable of running anything.

Mayor, Fire Chief, Governor, Shiff? Short list.

All are Insane.

When they are forced to issue and require a voter ID (with citizenship papers) for elections? The ComDem Party Dies.

Smarmy Judas Newsom dared to kiss the First Lady on the cheek.

Oh, but he wants a lot more than the thirty pieces of silver the other Judas got.

Arrogant sociopath sycophant and cad. Poor Melania!

Gavin’s little performance today put the D in desperate.
Even still, he’s sneaky.

Trump probably declared his Ca. Tour would proceed without the Governor walking with him. He did this, knowing Gavin would be desperate to plead his case for more federal funds.
Trump wanted to see just how big a fool Gavin was willing to make of himself in front of a camera crew.
Like a Cat toying with a chewed up Mouse.

And right now, Trump is on a roll.

WHHHOOOOO! Train coming down the track. Make way.

Agree.

When I read that, I was reading it in NY Post. Told myself, I so wanted to tell them Double Bag Barf Alert.

DJT will not forget that trespassing.
