Former President Donald Trump raged at California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) on Thursday after news broke that the Democrat issued an executive order for state agencies to begin clearing homeless encampments across his state.

Trump shared a local news clip on the order and captioned it by writing, “Why didn’t Gavin Newscum do this a long time ago? He’s only doing it because, just like Crooked Joe Biden, his Radical Left Democrat Presidential Candidate, Lyin’ Kamala Harris, is losing BIG in the Polls. They just did it for Political Reasons, because she comes from California, and looks terrible. Right after the Election, it will go back to SLUM LIKE condition, unless we WIN — THEN, AMERICA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN!”

Newsom addressed the timing of his action in the statement announcing the executive order, citing a Supreme Court decision last month that gave government additional powers to remove people sleeping on public property. “With the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Grants Pass v Johnson, local governments now have the tools and authority to address dangerous encampments and help provide those residing in encampments with the resources they need.”

Newsom has long been accused of allowing California’s homelessness problem to grow into a crisis that has caused alarm in major cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Newsom released a video clip saying he doesn’t “believe there is anything more urgent or frustrating than addressing the issue of homeless encampments.”

“There are simply no more excuses. It’s time for everyone to do their part,” he added in the statement. The Associate Press noted that “while Newsom cannot order local authorities to act, his administration can apply pressure by withholding money for counties and cities.”
