California's War Against Donald Trump: Who Wins? Who Loses?

2017

Synopsis

"California’s War Against Donald Trump" takes a thorough, analytical look into the clash between Donald Trump's policies and those of California's liberal leaders who have mounted a vigorous "resistance," and reveals just who is winning, and losing, from all the political grandstanding. With hundreds of references cited, dealing with subjects spanning sanctuary city policies, to “The Wall,” to healthcare, education, the temporary travel ban, federal regulatory policy, thwarting enforcement of immigration laws, and especially climate change, the battle between liberal Democrats in Sacramento and Trump and the Republicans in control in Washington, D.C. is vividly detailed, from a perspective that agrees with Trump that California is "out of control," and that politicians would do much better for the state by dropping the hostility and finding some sort of common ground.
