Trump Said He Can Arrest Gavin Newsom for Committing 'Crime' of 'Running For Governor'

Trump Asked Why He Thinks He Can Arrest Gavin Newsom — Says He Committed ‘Crime’ of ‘Running For Governor’



President (sic) Donald Trump on Monday defended his threat to arrest Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, suggesting that his leadership failures amounted to a criminal offense.

Asked directly by a reporter what crime Newsom had committed, Trump responded, “I think his primary crime is running for governor because he’s done such a bad job.”

Criminally insane.

Should've been done and gone 11 years ago during Impeachment #1.

I imagine he will.


He should point out how incredibly asinine and stupid that was for TACO to say.

The Firesign Theatre had a nice official swearing-out ceremony for Richard Milhous Nixon (from aged hippie memory):

"Richard Nixon, you no good sonofabitch! Get the hell out of year! Fuck off!"

Instead we've gotten more of the same, NAZI-corrupted self-servers, decade after decade.

...to go after Trump with the same viciousness that he exhibits on a daily basis? Could anyone imagine if Newsom, AOC, Sanders, et al. called Trump "a Russian agent", "Putin ally", etc. on the nightly news?

The Trump regime is so exhausting; every day brings another atrocity, and we're only in the first year!

Writ large.

Trump hates Gavin Newsom. He hates his popularity, his looks, his vitality and the way he's skewered Trump on numerous occasions. Basically, he hates California, a state that voted overwhelmingly against Trump's BS.

Newsom refuses to be dominated. As Governor, he runs (as of 2024) the 4th largest economy in the world.

For Agent Orange that's the ultimate crime.

I’m trying to imagine the total outrage from everywhere had Biden said in his presidency that he was going to arrest Rob DeSantis cause he wasn’t a good governor. I mean I saw it mentioned on the news that Trump said this but again there’s no pushback like “this is the talk of a crazy person or wannabe dictator”. We once again as a nation sanewash Trump
