Here is what I am almost positive Newsom is going to do. He knows California is in no place financially to pay reparations. He is going to beg for money from the Federal Government for reparations. When Trump says, "No", Newsom will play the race card and claim Trump is a racist.
If he does this he is going to shoot his foot off. Anyone with a brain will see the entire move was political theater. He will then go back to California and say, "sorry, that racist Trump wouldn't give us the money, you're all out of luck".
And most Democrats, being as gullible as they are and as hateful of Trump as they are, will believe Newsom is telling the truth.
However, every day people are defecting from the Democrat party and many of them are black. I just cannot believe the number of videos I see online from black people who support Trump. I saw a video today of Don Lemon doing street interviews in New York City. He interviewed a black man who fully supports deportation. Lemon was floored. He never expected to run into a black man in NYC who would support Trump. The man told Lemon that we need to get every illegal out of the country. So Lemon tried a different approach. He said Trump was hurting those who were being departed. The man said he didn't support that but they all need to go back to their own country.
I don't think they are being harmed any more than they were under Obama, in fact it was probably less. All of the cages and poor living conditions that the media blamed on Trump, started under Obama but they won't tell you that. Because cages and poor living conditions are only bad when a Republican is president. When a Democrat is president illegals and their condition just doesn't matter.
I descent from a Scot who fought against England. England tried him for treason and sent him to America as a slave. Seeing how I lived most of my life in California perhaps I should go back and make sure Newsom pays up. My brother, his two sons and their kids still live in California and I'm sure they could use some of that reparation money. My other brother's children mostly still live in California. So maybe I should move back and see if Newsom is actually going to do this or if he is just blowing smoke and creating another boondoggle of a waste of taxpayer dollar bureau.
