Governor Newsom Says Trump has Betrayed us With Failed Economic Policies

Sacramento, CA…Gavin Newsom says the Trump administration’s ongoing incompetence and failures continue to be on full display, with a disappointing jobs report showing the worst performance since the COVID-19 pandemic and an August 1 tariff deadline that passed without formal deals from all of our top trading partners.

“While President Trump spends his time gaslighting and golfing, his economic chaos is becoming unbearable for everyday Americans trying to make ends meet. He is ripping apart everything we’ve built. Trump has betrayed all of us — failing to deliver on his ‘golden’ economic agenda. Instead of the age of progress, we are all bracing for the impacts of his utter failure.”

Governor Gavin Newsom

Trump’s SAD job market 

Here’s what Trump has delivered:

😞 Layoffs at the highest levels since the COVID-19 pandemic.

😞 A quarter-million fewer jobs added in May and June than initially reported.

😞Gaslighting Americans: Instead of fixing the problem — Trump is calling to fire the official who reported these accurate numbers.

The art of no deals 

The Trump administration insisted today’s Aug. 1 deadline would be firm, but has continued to shift timelines and expectations – promised deals with top trading partners like Mexico and India remain unfinished. 

And what about those countries like Japan for which “deals” have been announced? Trump has boasted that they will result in unprecedented levels of foreign investment into the U.S., but only one of the six agreements negotiated so far has even been signed. These verbal agreements are vague, at best.

The ongoing uncertainty will result in more economic pain. Major consumer brands like Procter & GambleMondelēzFord and Hershey are warning in recent earnings calls that the tariffs will drive up costs on everyday products from popular snacks to common household items to cars.

Small businesses have also been operating with uncertainty for months, with less ability to weather the storm, adjust supply chains or lobby the federal government for targeted relief. Lost sales and higher input costs, along with greater red tape while importing, means businesses are pulling back on future investments, hiring, building and construction. What’s more, they will now have a harder time selling their products and services globally.

Feeling the pain from Trump’s failed tariffs policies 

President Trump’s tariffs policy is harming everyday Americans, who will pay the price of his chaotic trade posture with our allies and partners.

In the first six months of Trump’s presidency, the US economy slowed as a result of his policies. American families continue to feel the pain from the impacts of his failed negotiations and increased prices. In the meantime, Trump gave massive tax cuts to his billionaire friends, while ripping health care and food assistance away from Americans, and putting costs on the backs of American families.

Even Fox Business set the record straight on Fox News saying: “Let’s be real clear here. Tariffs cost, they’re a tax. That tax often gets passed on to consumers.”

Here’s the impact that Trump’s failed policies will have on California families and businesses:

  • Families and workers will bear the brunt. Tariffs could cost households $25 billion and lead to a loss of over 64,000 jobs across California.
  • Businesses are also paying the price. California firms incurred $11.3 billion in tariff costs from January through May 2025, the highest of any state in the country.
  • Global supply chains will continue to be impacted, especially here at home. Recently, the Port of Los Angeles was operating at only 70% capacity due to ongoing tariffs and Southern California saw a 40% decline in job postings related to trade and logistics.

Standing up for all Americans

On April 16, Governor Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit arguing that President Trump lacks the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs through the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, creating immediate and irreparable harm to California, the world’s fourth largest economy, and nation’s leading manufacturing and agriculture state. Other courts have already issued decisions against the Trump Administration’s use of this authority to impose tariffs.

    United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8:

    The Congress shall have the Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises…

      So true and Trump has not passed any of his BS tariff plans through congress. All his “deals” so far are handshakes, not signed deals. Us consumers are the ones hurt the most. The US businesses pay the tariff on imported goods directly to the US Treasury, they increase the cost of goods by the tariff amount, and then add their profit percentage to come up with the price consumers pay. Bottom line folks, the consumer is paying the tariff. It works just like buying gas at the pump. All the Federal and State taxes, cost of gas, and profit percentage are added together. And yes, some of the taxes on gas is for the feds.

    Typical acts of a wannabe tyrant.
    He fires truth tellers, and sues those who expose his crimes, child rape, financial fraud, election manipulations.

    His base is pissed Rep Flood got booed immediately at the start he said “remember the Republican party is the party of working people”.
    They kept booing him, he tried to speak over them, and threw in that”medicare for all isn’t ever going to happen”.

    The voters in the Red Republican states told him inflation, job losses, closing manufacturing due to the taco tariff baloney , took a great economy away.

    They want Biden’s economy, not the don’s recession coming soon.

    All this so called Governor does is find everything that Trump has done wrong. He needs to look into the mirror and see what he has done to our once great state of California. He’s totally destroyed our state, time for him and all his lies and croonies to go away and stay away.

    You forget when the Republicans had the Ca legislature, and governors office they with no, no, no taxes, and improvements ran Ca into the ground.
    It took Jerry Brown and the Dem super majority to make Ca great again.
    Fixed the rotting schools.
    Fixed the roads.
    Opened the parks.
    Got the Ca economy back on track as Biden did after the don 45.

    Amnesia, cult belief clouds the Republican cult minds.
    Facts, truth is denied, only what the party tells you matters.

    You’ve been played.

    If you want morals, truth, you need to think about what the pedophile prez you adore did, and is doing to America, turning it into a brutal racist made only for the rich rogue country.

    You native Americans might want to look into Gavy’s dealings with your tribes! He has extorted some tribes, that are trying to get a piece of the pie aka( casino) building, this guy under his grease pot is just like his aunt Nancy, running his own agenda, making greasy deals , but advocating his disdain for politics that are out in the open, whether he agrees or not. Look it up!

      Sounds just like Trump. And for your information, Nancy is NOT related to Newsom. She was married to his bio uncle and they divorced when Newsome was 10 years old.
