'Insane': Trump lashes out at California governor over plan to Trump-proof state laws

Donald Trump on Friday attacked California Governor Gavin Newsom for calling a special legislative session to safeguard the state's progressive policies from the incoming Republican administration.

The Democratic governor called for the session a day after the former president defeated Kamala Harris in the presidential race, and he said legislators were ready to "Trump-proof" state laws and approve more funding for the attorney general's office to challenge federal policies.

"Governor Gavin Newscum is trying to KILL our Nation’s beautiful California," the president-elect posted on Truth Social, using his insulting nickname for Newsom. "For the first time ever, more people are leaving than are coming in. He is using the term 'Trump-Proof' as a way of stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to 'Make California Great Again,' but I just overwhelmingly won the Election."

Trump has feuded with Newsom for years over Newsom's position on diverting water from the north of the state to farmers in the drier southern areas, and the incoming president also threatened to withhold federal disaster response funding from California to force the governor to agree to his demands.

"People are being forced to leave due to his, & other’s, INSANE POLICY DECISIONS, like the ridiculously rerouting of MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER A DAY FROM THE NORTH OUT INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN, rather than using it, free of charge, for the towns, cities, & farms dotted all throughout California," Trump posted. "They are making it impossible to build a reasonably priced car, the unchecked and unbalanced homeless catastrophe, & the cost of EVERYTHING, in particular 'groceries,' IS OUT OF CONTROL. Also, as an 'AGENT' for the United States of America on Voting & Elections, I will be DEMANDING THAT VOTER I.D., AND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, ARE A NECESSARY PART AND COMPONENT OF THE VOTING PROCESS!"
