Trump is getting Newsom’s California back in order.
President Donald Trump is poised to strike down California’s controversial ban on gas-powered car sales—a bold move defending American energy freedom and sending shockwaves through Sacramento.
✅ Common Sense from Trump, Pushback from the Left
In a major energy policy shakeup, President Trump is expected to sign a congressional resolution that cancels California’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) waiver. That waiver allowed the Golden State to mandate a ban on gasoline-powered cars by 2035—a move many say would destroy affordability and grid reliability.
Liberals are outraged. But for millions of Americans, especially older voters who remember energy independence under Trump’s first term, this is a long-overdue return to common sense energy leadership.
“I’m thankful the folks in Washington, D.C., showed common sense—something missing here in California,” said State Sen. Tony Strickland, R-Huntington Beach.
⚠️ California’s Grid Can’t Handle the Electric Vehicle Mandate
Strickland pointed out that California’s fragile power grid can’t support the forced switch to electric vehicles. “We already face rolling blackouts just from summer heat,” he said. “Now imagine adding millions of EVs plugged in at the same time. It’s a recipe for an energy crisis.”
This concern resonates with conservative voters age 50 and up who know the dangers of over-regulation and green energy fantasies that ignore real-world limitations.
🧾 Legal Showdown Looms as Newsom Threatens Lawsuit #21
California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have already promised legal action—again. They’ve sued the Trump administration more than 20 times, and they’re preparing yet another lawsuit over the EPA waiver reversal.
Their argument? That the waiver isn’t technically a rule, and therefore can’t be reversed under the Congressional Review Act. But constitutional scholars and GOP lawmakers say the law is clear, and the rollback is both legal and necessary.
📉 Gas Prices Soar While Newsom Deflects
Even as he pushes electric vehicles, Newsom is scrambling to respond to soaring gas prices in California. With two major refineries set to shut down, drivers are bracing for pain at the pump. But when asked whether the price surge might push consumers toward EVs, Newsom dodged, blaming global politics.
“We’re hostages to decisions made by foreign powers,” he said, instead of addressing the impact of state overreach.
🗣️ Kiley: “Bipartisan Rebuke of Newsom’s Insanity”
California Rep. Kevin Kiley (R) celebrated the resolution’s passage and slammed Newsom’s policies as reckless and extreme.
“This marks a bipartisan rejection of the extreme policies Newsom has imposed on California,” Kiley posted on X.
Millions of Americans are watching closely. As Trump takes bold steps to protect energy freedom and stop the radical green agenda, voters across the nation—especially seniors—are breathing a sigh of relief.
