Trump is most doing nice, but the “war against California” continues – San Bernardino County Sun

President Trump made a pleasant during a three-hour stop of Palisades’ fire in Los Angeles, probably the most expensive natural disaster in American history, but his longtime political “war against California” has not diminished.

He declares that we “want to troubleshoot the problems” and even hugged governor Gavin New, whom he usually calls a “new rock.”

But he did not go backwards to condition federal crisis in California, a voter identification system, such as Republicans used to cement power in the countries they control or his demand to be much more water in Northern California To move south – although there is no shortage everywhere in California today. Trump also talks about water from the Pacific northwest, from which California receives none.

It doesn’t matter that there is no mechanism for moving much more water to the south than it is sent today. NEWSOM has spent years pursuing an alleged tunnel to carry more water through the Delta of Sacramento-San Joaquin, but no shovels will be turned soon.

When Trump sees political rivals in the flesh, he clearly has less appetite to offend them. But this did not change any policy that he created through an enforcement order within hours of the White House’s new oath.

Yes, the future of tens of thousands of victims of fire have been laid right now. But much more than this is involved, even if Trump pauses his stream of accusations of victims to express a miracle from the scope of damage.

One of the key areas is agriculture, where Trump threatens disasters for California farms, 41 percent of which are not documented. He ordered a new set of raids from immigration and customs executive agents without revealing time and place. Deport these workers and crops from pistachios to peaches, from rice to apricots, can rot of the tree or vine.

He also threatened to pursue local employees who do not help his planned deportations of undocumented immigrants. A few dared to try.

Trump also immediately ordered the offshore drilling of oil to resume in the federal waters. This could lead to conflicts between state and federal officials, as California owns the entire coast of the shore on the middle mid -line with a high tide for about three nautical miles. It is impossible to reach offshore oil for trucks, pipelines and refineries without crossing state property, and the state -owned land committee – controlled by Democrats – has long been hostile to offshore drilling.

So Trump’s frequent calls for “drilling, expensive, workout” can lead to long legal battles before a drop of offshore oil arrives.

Trump also reports that he will try to re -apply California to reduce the car and industrial production of SMOG here. This body is derived from the Federal Air Law. This led to far cleaner air in Los Angeles, the area of ​​San Francisco Bay and the Central Valley, even when the population and traffic increased significantly during the 54 years of the law.

The renovated president also said he wanted to end federal prices and incentives to buy electric vehicles. NEWSOM replied that the state would probably restore its own incentives if the federal disappears.

One Trump tactics: It cancels the subsidies for the purchase of cars, trucks and other zero emissions equipment under the Law on Reduction of Inflation in 2022.
