30. He might believe he's just hurting Newsom and California Democrats, but there are a lot of Republicans

and big corporate interests in Californai who would suffer much more. Trump will huff and puff, make all kinds of noise and threaten Newsom, but he knows he can't deny aid and assistance to the people of California. Trump is an imbecile, he might listen to the wrong people at Mar-a-Lago and stupidly deny aid to California, but it would be the biggest mistake of his second term, even before it begins.
