Speaking to reporters at an "Invest America" roundtable at the White House, President Trump said that Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) should be happy he sent the National Guard to Los Angeles, California.
00:00You spoke of leadership, and real quickly, speaking of Gavin Newsom, is he the right leader for California, considering how massive their economy is and all these U.S. investments coming in?
00:11Is he the right governor and leader for the future of California and for U.S. investments?
00:17I don't think he is. I mean, I think he's done a terrible job. And, you know, he's a guy I always got along with him.
00:22You look at his past statements about me. I was a great president. I always took care of California, you know, all that.
00:29But I'm just talking on results. You look, you know, he has the advantage of beautiful weather, maybe the best weather of any state when you think about it.
00:38Beautiful weather, beautiful ocean, beautiful everything. You have all the advantages.
00:42And he didn't take advantage of that. And he's let people come in by the millions who are overrunning your hospitals, your education system and your police.
00:54Your police are being overrun. Look at what's happened. He should only be happy I sent in the military, because if I didn't send him in, you would have had a problem there, the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time.
