'Every voter should be made aware': Governor sounds alarm on new Trump threat

By Sarah K. Burris
Published September 13, 2024 4:54 PM ET

A key part of Donald Trump's speech from California on Friday was trashing Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom for the state's fires. One comment he made is turning heads, however.

“And Gavin Newscum is gonna sign those papers, and if he doesn’t sign those papers, we won’t give him money to put all his fires,” Trump said, deliberately mispronouncing the governor's name, as he's often done in the past.

“And if we don’t give him money to put out his fires, he’s got problems,” Trump threatened. “He’s a lousy governor.”

“Gavin Newscum [Newsom] is going to sign those papers,” Trump said, seemingly referencing a 2020 federal decision to increase water deliveries by weakening endangered species rules that Newsom sued over.

The fires have no party affiliation. Everyone in their way is endangered. And does anyone know what the “papers” are that trump insists must be signed?

that, after calling Covid a hoax, as deaths began to skyrocket and state leaders and health officials began to freak, Trump was intercepting and confiscating shipments of much needed ppe supplies bound for various states, accusing first responders of hoarding supplies, and talking about sending help to states whose representatives were "loyal."

Should've been locked the fk up and key thrown away, then.
