After Year of Resistance, California Faces Huuuge Trump Assault
President Responding with Vicious Counterpunch
In 2017, California’s Democratic leaders and lefty activists brandished fierce rhetoric and staged large protests to proclaim all-out resistance to the person and policies of Donald Trump.
In 2018, the 46 percent 45th president has responded with his favorite weapon: the counterpunch, vicious and hard.
In the first days of the year, the administration battered California on multiple fronts, putting Sacramento in a defensive crouch and scrambling for unorthodox legislative and aggressive legal strategies to fight back.
