This is why you can trust the lying Democrats and leftists in California writing in the Los Angeles Times. Lots of projections here by McManus and the L.A. Times.

Several Trump campaign promises would conflict with California policies
Buckle up. The general election matchup between President Biden and former President Trump is set. And when he looks west, Trump promises to reshape California if he wins a second term.

Throughout his campaign, Trump has lambasted California — portraying the state as a dystopian failure brought about, he claims, by Democratic policies. For good reason

“It has become a symbol of our nation’s decline,” he told California Republicans last year. Because it's true.

Times columnist Doyle McManus took a look at Trump’s rhetoric and vows about the Golden State and wrote about what might be in store. Here are three of McManus’ takeaways:

Trump pledges to send law enforcement officials into California

McManus writes:

Trump says he’ll send federal law enforcement officers into Oakland and other cities to stop rampant shoplifting. “If you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store — shot!” he said. Hyperbole

McManus adds:

He says he’ll close the U.S.-Mexico border on his first day in office — the day he has set aside to act as “a dictator” — and launch “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.” A dictator? No, nothing like Biden. That's the best reason to vote for Trump.

His Santa Monica-born immigration advisor, Stephen Miller, says that if Democratic states such as California don’t cooperate, Trump could order National Guard units from red states such as Texas to cross their borders — a recipe for constitutional crisis. As a California resident, I would welcome this. Bring on the constitutional crises.

Trump is focusing on California’s renewable energy, fuel standards and water supply.

McManus writes:

Trump has promised to scrap President Biden’s programs to promote renewable energy, including subsidies for electric vehicles and charging stations. His advisors have proposed limiting California’s power to set fuel emission standards for automobiles. Just because they propose something doesn't mean they will follow through with it

He says he’ll stop the state from allowing Sacramento River water to flow into the Pacific to protect the Sacramento Delta. “We’re not going to let them get away with that any longer,” he said. (Water experts say it would be impractical and environmentally disastrous to divert the river’s flow completely. Newsom has already suspended some environmental laws to send more water to reservoirs and is preparing to build a new water tunnel under the delta.) CA has passed several water bond issues, and yet, not one new reservoir has been built in forty years as the population has doubled in that time. The state is planning to destroy three Hydro-dams on the Klamath River. Lake Hodges dam is so old that water is being released because the integrity of the dam is in question.

Trump’s team may be better prepared this time around.

McManus writes:

His first term was launched with little preparation and no detailed transition plan. This time, he’s likely to appoint a more thoroughly Trumpified White House staff and Cabinet, with fewer moderates applying the brakes. Good!

The Supreme Court, with three Trump appointees in its six-seat majority, is friendlier too.EVEN BETTER!

And pro-Trump policy wonks have already produced a 920-page handbook of policy proposals for a second Trump term, “Project 2025.”

Those proposals suggest that a second Trump term, like the first, would produce major collisions between the White House and California’s Democratic-run state government, McManus writes. CA is a one-party state, and the Democrats are trying to make America a one-party country.

“If campaign promises have any meaning, you’re looking not just at a second term; you’re looking at Trump on steroids,” Larry Gerston, an emeritus professor of political science at San Jose State University, told McManus. “The impact on California would be very real.” That's what it will take to undo the damage caused by Biden, Newsome, and the Democrats.

Some of Trump’s proposed ideas may still be difficult to carry out, Donald F. Kettl of the University of Texas, an expert on federal-state relations, told McManus. Of course they will be. But the hyperbole of Trump the dictator shouldn't be believed.

But Kettl had a warning: “At the end of the first Trump term, there was frustration among his aides that they had finally figured out what they wanted to do, but ran out of time. They’ve spent four years planning, learning from their mistakes and compiling an action plan.” Not unlike Obama, Biden, and the Democrat Leftist Progressives who have been at it for over a century, resulting in the destruction of this country.
