Trump, Newsom trade barbs amid California protests

President Trump has rebuked California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s criticism of the administration’s handling of protests against ICE in Los Angeles County.

Trump took to Truth Social following comments from Newsom on X, where the governor said, “the federal government is sowing chaos.”

In a Truth Social post on Saturday night, the president wrote: “If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!”

A release from the White House revealed that President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen.

“The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in the statement.

“These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice. The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and completely.”

Newsom took aim at the move in his posts to X.

“That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions,” he wrote. “… This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.”

Newsom added that the state was deploying the California Highway Patrol “to keep the peace.” He said the Trump administration’s deployment of the National Guard was “purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.”

Damn straight. Like the Mafia guy told Fredo about his wife....who was making a scene......he told Fredo.....”Michael says if you can’t take care of her, I have to.”

California can’t take care of these rioters....So Trump will.

I don’t think Newsom means the same “public” that PDJT is working for.

Time for Trump to STFU with the social media cat fights with someone like Newsome who has zero chance of havng his mind changed.

Just do what you gotta do, be a professional and let the Pres Sec answer questions.

Time to level up and quit acting like it’s a reality TV show and you need to build up the drama.

These are riots, not “protests.”

California can’t take care of ANYTHING! From one GORGEOUS, well-run State to the ash heap of History within 50 short years. :(

As goes CA, so goes the rest of the Nation. Ugh!

Hmmmm. Right around the time that MAGA starts questioning Bondi/Kash about Epstein, and questioning Trump about the bloated continuing resolution (excuse me, “big beautiful bill”), this kicks off to distract us.

Deep state and demoncrats are not the only ones who can execute false flags.

Its a big club, and we ain’t in it.

I can live with that. In small doses. Where desperately needed.

“These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice. The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and completely.”

So when does that include the Governor of California?

Gavin Nuetered.

You chose poorly Gav.

Now your 2028 is going to be vaporized as we post your statements and lack of support.

The rest of the country ain’t going to be kind to you in 2028
