The next President of the United States of America?
Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back.

Weird reality.
RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.
