California governor says US must ‘wake up’ to threat posed by the president’s disregard of democratic norms

In an interview hosted by Politico, the California governor said the US must ‘wake up’ to the the threat posed by the president’s disregard of democratic norms

Donald Trump is gravely serious about running for a third term in violation of the US constitution, California governor Gavin Newsom said on Wednesday, warning Americans to “wake up” to what he described as the president’s flagrant disregard for democratic norms.

“I don’t think Donald Trump wants another election,” Newsom, a Democrat, said during a live interview at a summit hosted by Politico in Sacramento. “This guy doesn’t believe in free, fair elections.”

Newsom, who has gained national attention in recent weeks for his merciless trolling of Trump online and who is widely considered a presidential contender, said he had a stack of two dozen “Trump 2028” hats sent to him by the president’s supporters.

    He also eats like shit, doesn’t exercise at all, has a stimulant addiction, and his age is catching up with him.
    Even if by some miracle he makes it to the end of this term, he won’t last for a 3rd term.
    After that the real fun starts when there’s a struggle to fill the power vacuum, that could cause an actual civil war.
