And you know what? People who live in California have every right to be defensive.
Let me tell you something. Mississippi isn't my cup of tea. There are many things I don't like about Mississippi. At the same time, I try to keep a modicum of respect and I understand that there are people who do make it home. I bring up alot of statistics, but bringing up statistics is different from flat out trashing a place.
Have you ever thought about why some people get defensive when someone trashes their hometown?
But why care what Trump thinks ?
Because he’s the President ?
That shouldn’t matter. Trump looks stupid making his comment whether he is the POTUS or just a well known developer.
IMO, showing offense re what he said = allowing Trump to ‘bring one down in the mud with him’.
I’m a 5th Generation California native. I’m probably more critical of the state than Trump is, but I don’t care what he thinks.
Additionally, I don’t believe him. I don’t think he really thinks the state is a disgrace. If he did, he’d sell the Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles, or at least try to.
He’s just lashing out like a toddler because he’s butt hurt about the legislation that Newsom signed. His feelings are hurt.

It's still a technicality. More people still voted for HRC than Trump. Many Americans would like to see the EC abolished completely.
Many would NOT like to see it abolished as well since it is working exactly as it should. Now what?

He has given us the great economic opportunities despite the constant character assassinations attacks from the left and their propaganda outlets. Also several months of under 4% unemployment..how many months of under 4% unemployment did we have under Obama?
A lot of California is a disgrace to this country so once again, he is correct. been to skid row lately or walked around SF?

I doubt you will want to hear the TRUTH, but the cold, hard facts are, Trump rode in on an economy that Obama started, and Obama did such a great job that even Donald Trump, in all his ineptness, STILL continues to stay fairly stable. But just in case you want to see factual information for a change, instead of what you want to believe, here are some numbers of what the country was like when Obama left office:
The economy gained a net 11.6 million jobs.
The unemployment rate dropped to below the historical norm.
Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 4.0 percent after inflation. The gain was 3.7 percent for just production and nonsupervisory employees.
After-tax corporate profits also set records, as did stock prices. The S&P 500 index rose 166 percent.
The number of people lacking health insurance dropped by 15 million. Premiums rose, but more slowly than before.
Illegal immigration declined: The Border Patrol caught 35 percent fewer people trying to get into the U.S. from Mexico. How do you like THAT statistic ?
Wind and solar power increased 369 percent. Coal production declined 38 percent. Carbon emissions from burning fossil fuel dropped 11 percent.
.
Now, if you have any "facts" to the contrary, let's discuss those. But I doubt you will have any to provide.
One thing I have to say though, you are honest in admitting you are posting from Russia !!
Kind of hoping the idiot trashes my state of 19 million since I have no regard for the dumbass' opinion. Speaking of which, about 2017, I stopped having much regard or respect for the basket of deplorables' opinions. I'm starting to use the phrase "You don't say?" when idiot Trumpkinz blather about something they don't like about the country.
One of the biggest problems with Donald Trump is that he just can not control himself. For a man of his age, you would think he would have learned when to react to something and when to brush it off. But he is absolutely so insecure and immature that he lets every little thing get under his thin skin, and he goes off on a tangent.
For once, just once, if he ever was able to start a sentence without finishing it up with some slam or insult to someone else, I would swallow my teeth. He is the most negative, nastiest, dumbest, least educated person to ever hold this job. Just what we want in the man who makes life and death decisions for the rest of us !
How anyone can find one shred of anything positive in this jerk really hurts my head.
Why didn't all the rich and famous retardates in the social media light leave like they said they would if Trump won in 2016? It's been over three years now and none of them have left yet.
I suspect at least some love America too much to leave and feel that staying to fight against Trump serves them and America better, but frankly I can't speak for other people. I think it's hardly important to focus on what some rich and famous people do or say when what matters more is what our politicians do and say.
What Trump keeps saying matters more to me than what Kim Kardashian has to say, for example. If you get my meaning...
