Poor Gavin News Agency. The governor hasn’t swallowed so many indigestive fares since he visited the French laundry.
In the three weeks since Donald Trump took office, there hasn’t been a day of presidential attacks on democratic norms, excessive violations or nasty engines of the executive branch, and emissions from the country’s chief propagandist have not been in the past.
Newsom once fancied his response in the vanguard of Trump’s resistance to ignoring the president’s actions to a large extent, or sending out some airy clichés with the throwing weight of the descending pillow.
When Newsom signed legislation last week authorizing $50 million to fight the Trump administration’s courts and support legal services for immigrants, the governor (not entirely propaganda) got along well with Nary’s news cameras.
It’s good for him.
All silence must leave a bad smell in Newsom’s mouth. (We’re not talking about Sony Wine Country cuisine, which put the Governor in a lot of trouble when he enjoyed a Michelin-starred meal with his friends during the pandemic lockdown.)
But if that’s the best side of Trump and see the desperately needed federal wildfire relief in California, then it’s urgently needed — what thousands of Los Angeles-area residents deserve, that’s it.
In some political instinct is to scream, trample and vent in every Trump provocation. It was a way to release tensions, and it was not an unreasonable response to his horror show in the last two and a half weeks.
But, in fact, how politically productive is this?
During the presidential campaign, Trump did not keep his rough plans secret. He still had a clear victory, beating Kamala Harris and even won a popular vote despite his fall to a 50% majority.
This simply does not indicate that surrender is orderly. Countless legal battles are underway to examine Trump’s dictatorship, California Attorney General Rob Bonta is the one who wears grooves on court pedals, with Trump and his co-president E. Elon Musk fights.
Newsom, by contrast, has chosen more, we can say, diplomatic attitudes, and puppies playing Trump require constant praise and attention.
The arrival of the president swept the president when Trump flew to Los Angeles International Airport last month to investigate fire losses in the Pacific Palisades, and their forced encounters proved to be Bonniomi and Bro. Muss. Extended handshake. Shoulder buckle.
“I thank the governor for coming out to see me,” Trump said generously despite the lack of invitation.
“Thank you for being here,” Newsom said Demurely. “That means a lot.”
Last week, the two squeezed for 90 minutes in the Oval Office, the meeting involved wildfire recovery aid, California’s counterattack against Trump, and more. Afterwards, Newsom described their gathering as “real, substantial” and “positive.”
Newsom told Taryn Luna of the Times Sacramento Innings, noting how Trump gave California to Taryn Luna during the pandemic, he said : “There is something familiar, there is a relationship of crisis surrounding Kuvid.” “I want to go back to that space.”
The fact that Trump chose to hold the first and last and only public remarks at their meeting to Newsom, or “news rescue”, the president calls him childishly, tells a lot about their current relationship status .
Of course, if Trump had not threatened to withhold disaster relief in a ruthless rest with the precedent, until he gained some political concession: an unnecessary overhaul of the California electoral system, while his political benefactor for his Political benefactors provide more water, then this is by no means mean. Farms in the state.
But this is the world we live in.
Who knows how long Newsom-Trump Detente will last. The “massive” immigration enforcement action is reportedly planned to be carried out in the Los Angeles area soon, and it will certainly test its political ceasefire.
Inevitably, every move of the News Agency is compared with what he believes is the presidential ambition.
This is stupid for a number of reasons, especially the fact that the campaign is a political light-year. As National Democracy strategist Lis Smith suggested, “Anyone who looks at this from a political perspective in 2028 may need to log in.”
(For those who hold their breath, the next presidential election is no longer 1363 days.)
That said, one of the best things that news magazine might do for his president is a huge success in January’s Firestorm, which are those who are likely to make political careers Or one of the epic crises that break the political profession. “The most important thing for any governor or any candidate in any office is that they do a good job,” Smith noted.
Once the Democratic nomination contest begins, candidates will surely face a touchstone test to measure how fiercely anti-Trump everyone has. It’s not hard to imagine some people’s adaptation to Newsom’s most traded accommodation, or grab the kind of thing the governor said to Trump and flatter him with that kind of flattery.
But Newsom is exactly what he should do, and he should provide any personal hostility and political ambitions to the people he was elected to serve.
He shouldn’t have been allowed to eat those words.
