In response, White House spokesperson Kush Desai told Fox News: "Gavin Newsom should focus on out-of-control homelessness, crime, regulations, and unaffordability in California instead of trying his hand at international dealmaking."

Seems like that's exactly what he's doing by trying to circumvent inflation.

It's always a jab with this administration eh?

They can't just say "we're looking into this and will discuss matters with the governor"

The poor young generation in this country that have never seen normal politics must think this is normal.

As a millenial who grew up looking at calmer politics as the norm, it's genuinely a bit disturbing to think about how long Trump has been at the forefront of American politics and how many young folk see that as the only form of US politics they've ever known.

Like, he feels like such an aberration on so many levels, it's uncomfortable thinking about how there's an entire generation (or two, with Gen Alpha) that see that as the norm.

according to my wife, who is a teacher, yes....yes kids are absolutly acting out more but I think it is a combination of Social Media influencers acting crazy in videos, the trending videos of entitled people acting like karens/kardashians, and how politicans get away with what they get away with.

Always pickin' a fight.

Their campaign spokesman and current WH Comms director literally worked for UFC before Trumpland.

That's just how republicans have operated for a few decades now. Never arguing in good faith. Always petty. Always hypocritical. Always childish. Always deceitful. The party is full of immature assholes and they now have king immature asshole as president.
