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

Trump claims to be all about states’ rights when it benefits him (overturning Roe v Wade) but then loves to impose rules and punish states that defy him. Anyone saying they support Trump because they believe in states’ rights is a liar or a fool.

You are correct.

Trump is trying to stop NYC implementing congestion pricing (a program which is working well btw). He also attempted to stop California from setting its own emissions standards for vehicles, which is just ridiculous. California's air quality has come a long way since the 90's due to these stricter standards.
