Gavin Newsomtold world leaders in Munichthat President Donald Trump is “temporary” and “un-American.”
“He’ll be gone in three years,” Newsom added.
That’s true of every president. Each is in office for only four years, or eight. In our democracy, power changes hands — between people, if not always between parties.
But Newsom was making a broader point — in the context of discussions about “climate change.”
Trump had just rolled back the Environmental Protection Agency’s so-called “endangerment rule,” the runaway regulation that Barack Obama decreed in 2009, and that Democrats have since used to impose climate mandates throughout the U.S. economy.
In Trump’s first term, he withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, observing — correctly — that it meant huge costs for American companies, and no commitment at all from rapidly-growing nations like China.
At the time, Trump observed: “I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.” He was fulfilling a promise to voters who were tired of the higher prices and heavier regulations that come with the left-wing “climate change” agenda.
Voters sent Trump back to the White House in 2024 with a similar mandate. He set the process of repealing the Obama-era rule in motion almost as soon as he arrived in the Oval Office.
This is what the American people wanted.
What Newsom told the global elite was, in effect: never mind democracy. Never mind the will of the people. The rule of the bureaucracy will always endure.
