Considering how much agriculture and manufacturing actually come out of California, this would have a substantial impact on the rest of the US. The California gdp is as much as in the top 5 gdp's in the world.

It's all about the money. The oligarchs clustered around Trump will make money as stocks go down, and again when they go up. They'll pick up any unconsidered trifles they find lying around when they hit the right price, and use these to hedge against the future.

For this, they'll pay Trump a 'commission' on their sales and purchases; the big law firms are paying a pitch fee like cheap market traders and pardons like Nikola's Trevor Milton's for securities fraud crimes now have charges scale attached.

You're fucked, and so are we.
