Trump is going to launch a trade war against California in the next few days.

one out of every seven dollars in the usa is produced by California....

Trump has lost before he starts.... and that assuming new york, washington , and a lot of other blue states dont join.

bet Trump does not like states rights all of a sudden.

I suspect the other blue states are going to see how this plays out before making a move.

What’ll be interesting is who gets pulled in either direction. Adjacent states will probably follow suit bc they are also dependent on CA’s ports. IL was the first to make its own agreement with Mexico. Socal is so intrinsically tied to Mexico that they will probably do something similar.
