In a fiery speech, Trump painted a dystopian picture of California under Democratic leadership, warning the nation: “We cannot let Kamala Harris and the communist left do to America what they did to California.”

Speaking from his Rancho Palos Verdes golf course, Trump claimed California is overrun by crime, immigrants, and water shortages. He promised federal aid cuts unless Gov. Newsom aligns with his policies.
Trump repeatedly called Newsom “Newscum” and threatened to withhold firefighting funds unless his demands on taxes and other policies are met: “If we don’t give him money, he’s got problems.”
Trump, who lost California by 5 million votes in 2020, insists the state’s voting system is rigged: “If votes were counted properly, I would win California.”
Trump took the opportunity to promote his golf course, calling it “better than Pebble Beach” while dismissing concerns about nearby landslides that have put the area under emergency orders.
The Harris campaign called Trump’s speech “bizarre,” accusing him of a meltdown after his recent debate with Harris.
Trump wrapped up his speech with pledges to increase mass deportations and floated a new economic policy—“no tax on overtime”—which he claims will help working Americans.
Fundraising continues. Trump’s next stop is a $500K-per-couple event in the Bay Area hosted by relatives of Gov. Newsom’s wife.
