Newsom sues Trump over tariff impacts on California

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday he is suing President Donald Trump over his sweeping tariffs. The lawsuit argues that Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose hefty tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, and a 10% tariff on all imports, is unlawful. Here is what Newsom had to say: “President Trump’s unlawful tariffs are wreaking chaos on California families, businesses, and our economy — driving up prices and threatening jobs,” Newsom said in a statement. “We’re standing up for American families who can’t afford to let the chaos continue.”

That's some entitlement there! Everyone knows California money doesn't serve California but goes to pockets in the political syndicate. It's a new day.

Congress has already authorized the president to enact tariffs. It would require an act of congress to take that power back away from any president.

Newsom all by himself has ruined California. He's just looking for someone else to blame.

I'm embarrassed to be a life-long Californiahan, and have Newsom as my governor. He's a self-serving snake, and a hypocrite.
