Governor Gavin Newsom just got schooled by Donald Trump in the most embarrassing way possible. After years of letting criminals run wild in California, Newsom suddenly got tough on crime the moment Trump threatened to send in federal troops. This is what real leadership looks like, and weak liberals like Newsom can’t handle it.

For years, Newsom and his liberal friends made California a paradise for criminals. They passed soft laws that let thieves steal up to $950 without facing real punishment. Stores got robbed daily while regular folks lived in fear, but Newsom did nothing.

Then Trump stepped in and changed everything overnight. The President-elect made it clear he would send the National Guard to clean up California’s mess if Newsom couldn’t do his job. Suddenly, the same governor who coddled criminals was signing tough new crime bills and sending state police everywhere.

Now Newsom is scrambling to look tough by expanding police operations across six regions of California. He’s bragging about 9,000 arrests and recovered stolen cars like he planned this all along. But we all know the truth – he only acted because Trump forced his hand.

The new laws Newsom signed let police arrest shoplifters even when they don’t see the crime happen. They also make it easier to charge repeat thieves with felonies by adding up all their stolen goods. These are common sense ideas that should have happened years ago.

California has spent $1.7 billion fighting crime since 2019, but crime kept getting worse under Newsom’s watch. It took Trump’s threat to make this governor finally use those tools effectively. That tells you everything about failed liberal leadership.

Newsom is trying to spin this as his own idea, calling it the biggest anti-crime effort in state history. But every patriotic American knows the real story – Trump scared him straight with just one threat. This is what happens when real leaders take charge.

The best part is watching Newsom pretend he always cared about fighting crime. California voters aren’t stupid – they see right through this desperate act. Trump already has Newsom dancing to his tune, and he’s not even president yet.
