Trump rants over "the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!"

From his response to the wildfires to this, his motives are pretty transparent...punish the non-MAGA blue states. and that typo is his, not mine. See below.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Just out: The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities. We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!

Articles of impeachment. Now.

And while they're at it, open an investigation into Devin Dumbass Nunes. He needs to be removed from committees and at least censured.

the impeachment will go nowhere in the Senate and he'll just say that the Democrats are picking on him

There was also no way the senate was going to convict President Clinton, either. In fact, not all republicans voted to convict him. The crimes of Trump are legion and need to be listed on the house floor. Otherwise, republicans can continue to ignore the horrible things he does & says, and they won't have to go on the record either standing with him or standing for the Constitution.

Trump always says Dems are picking on him. It's his only defense, and it's not a good one.

Are they no longer allowed to travel within the US? How far from these "sanctuary cities" can they go to get, say, a job, a place to live, a school for their kids? Have you thought this out at all? (Yeah, dumb question: of course he hasn't).

his over priced Golf Club last week while he was there. New Tax Statement? New Assessments? New Minimum Wage requirements dictated via Law?

Oh oh,those Twenty million dollar building lots are out of compliance?

Seventy five percent of all new jobs created this year were in the State California according to the your Labor Secretaries Monthly report which was republished on this and other Web Pages.

we will be more than happy to give these people all they need. Of course, this will mean that we will only be sending the same amount of money to Washington that we get back to tell the Red states that you decided these immigrants deserve it more than you do.

16. Underlying rationale for Trump:
Sun Apr 14, 2019, 07:20 AM
Apr 2019

1. California is a blue state.
2. California didn't give its electoral votes to Trump.
3. Trump is radioactive in Hollywood and L.A. He's craved being King there.
4. Trump hates the former governors, Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwartenegger.
5. Trump hates the present governor, Gavin Newsom, the former husband of his son's present G/F, Kimberly Guilfoyle.
6. Not enough MAGA supporters in California to make his attention worthwhile.
7. Nancy Pelosi represents a district in California.
