California Governor Gavin Newsom gave a strong interview, stating that the United States is in deep danger. He called the situation a \u201cfive-alarm fire\u201d and said former President Donald Trump is trying to win again, no matter what it takes. He told ABC\u2019s Jonathan Karl that it feels like a \u201cCode Red\u201d moment and warned that the country is heading toward something similar to a \u201cPutin-style election.\u201d<\/p>\n
Newsom said he is not just worried about the next election. He said if people do not take a stand now, the country might lose the idea of fair and free elections altogether. In his words, \u201cWe will not have a country.\u201d He also called Trump\u2019s previous time in office \u201cthe most corrupt administration in history.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explained this by talking about what he called \u201cthe great grift.\u201d He said huge amounts of public money were being wasted on things like a 400 million dollar plane while programs like food stamps were being cut. He said that this is the people\u2019s hard-earned tax money being used in ways that are unfair and wrong.<\/p>\n
Newsom also talked about the people around Trump, such as Steve Bannon. He said they are serious and not playing games, and that Americans need to understand how organized and dangerous their plans could be. He asked an emotional question, \u201cWhere is everybody? Why aren\u2019t we standing up for what is right?\u201d His frustration and fear were clear in his tone.<\/p>\n
He went on to say that he feels disgusted with how the country is being run. He criticised Congress for being weak, private companies for being selfish, and even universities for \u201cselling their soul.\u201d He said it bothers him that so many people are not angry or even paying attention to what is going on. His words came across as passionate and personal, like someone who truly cares about protecting the country.<\/p>\n
Newsom also spoke about President Joe Biden. He called Biden \u201cone of the most successful presidents in the last century.\u201d He admitted they have disagreed on things like border issues but praised Biden for his major achievements such as the CHIPS Act, the infrastructure plan, and the Inflation Reduction Act. He said he would defend those policies \u201cto my grave\u201d because he believes they are right for America.<\/p>\n
He also mentioned Trump\u2019s behavior online. He talked about Trump posting fake images of himself as the Pope, Superman, and even on Mount Rushmore. Newsom said he has started posting his own mocking pictures of Trump to \u201chold a mirror\u201d to this behavior and remind people that it should not be seen as normal.<\/p>\n
In the end, his message was simple. America is in serious trouble. And if people do not pay attention and speak up now, it might soon be too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
