The situation in Los Angeles is setting up a showdown between the two politicians that has been brewing off and on for years.

Their clash over Trump’s deployment of military forces for anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles is far from the first time the two leaders have butted heads.

Newsom lambasted Trump, calling him a President who “wants to be bound by no law or constitution, perpetuating a unified assault on American traditions.” And he repeated his assertion that Trump was “fanning the flames” in Los Angeles “on purpose.”
