t-online USA: Donald Trump rages against California Governor Newsom Simon Cleven • 1 hour • 2 minutes reading time After announcing resistance Trump rages against California Governor The elected US President already has a dispute with a governor. Donald Trump is not yet in office, but he is already at loggerheads with the Governor of California. Gavin Newsom had previously announced resistance. After the re-election of right-wing populist Donald Trump in the USA, the liberal west coast state of California is preparing for tough legal disputes with its future government. The Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom called the parliament of the most populous US state to an emergency session in early December - and thereby incurred Trump's wrath. Newsom called on the MPs to prepare the fight against "unlawful" federal policy measures on issues such as abortion, immigration and climate change. "The freedoms we hold dear in California are under attack - and we will not sit idly by," Newsom said. California has faced this challenge before, he emphasized, referring to Trump's first term in office (2017-2021). California is prepared to "fight in court" and everything necessary will be done to ensure that Californians have the support "they need to prosper." Newsom's office also told the AP that it wanted to make California "Trump-proof." Trump reacted angrily to Newsom's announcement with a post on his own platform, Truth Social. The governor is trying to "kill our nation's beautiful California," the post from Friday said. Trump also used a disrespectful neologism for Newsom by combining his last name with an English term for sperm. Newsom also used the term "Trump-proof" to "prevent all the great things that can be done to 'make California great again,'" said Trump, referring to his campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." Because of Newsom's decisions, many people are being forced to leave California. For the first time, more people are leaving the state than are moving there, the Republican claimed. California has previously resisted Trump Newsom was briefly considered as a candidate for the Democratic Party after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race. During Trump's first term in office, his state fought several legal battles against the White House, for example over limits on car emissions and the construction of the border wall with Mexico. Trump has announced a radical domestic policy agenda. Among other things, he wants to order mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. He also threatened to use the military against "enemies within." He was referring to left-wing politicians and activists, whom he described as "left-wing lunatics". Contrary to the goals of international climate policy, Trump plans to intensively promote and use fossil fuels.
