Donald Trump Saturday night issued a warning to California Democrats.
Trump took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to make a comment about escalating protests in California surrounding Trump's moves related to immigration. They have been called an "unintended consequence" of Trump's policies.
Trump also used his derogatory nickname for California Governor Gavin Newsom.
"If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!" Trump wrote.
Trump didn't include further details as to exactly what stepping in might mean.
