California’s Trump-defying auto emissions deal has gotten deep under the president’s skin — and Gov. Gavin Newsom is making the most of it

The deal “is bigger than [Trump’s] tweets and it's bigger than his EPA. This is a very frustrating place for him to be,” Newsom added. “There’s a weakness that’s exposed, and that’s very raw for this president in particular.”

“Henry Ford would be very disappointed if he saw his modern-day descendants wanting to build a much more expensive car, that is far less safe and doesn’t work as well, because execs don’t want to fight California regulators,” Trump tweeted, referring to Ford Motor Company, which was part of the deal.

“This is resistance with results,” Newsom told POLITICO, adding that “the reason I think [Trump] is so frustrated is this is a complete repudiation of his climate policies.” “When they felt they could not get an ear in the White House, that they were not making any headway,” Nichols said, auto executives “became frustrated and began to look at the possibility of doing something different.”

Politico is Fake News on this story! California is in disrepair due to democrats like Gavin Nuisance!Just look at the city of San Francisco and Gavin was the mayor!

Tesla Motors got an exemption.

The EPA rescinding California’s waiver would upset the Noose’em checker board.

Proof of how little Trump considers consequences. In future years, some GOP candidate will look back at this and think, 'Gee, thanks for the poop time bomb.'

CrybabyDonald

Everyone leaving CA unless you are illegal alien.

Governor or mafioso you decide

GavinNewsom has bigger fish to fry! He has hurt the State of CA almost beyond repair! The homeless - drug addicted & mentally ill - are living in filth, full of bugs & rats and now Typhus!

Yet. He has Typhus spreading accross his city. Lets annoy Trump. We're excellent leadership . Yaaaaaay. Resis Resist. Yayyyyy

Gavin makes up a large portion of the state's oiliness.

Love it when two jerks get into a pissing contest with each other. Too bad both of them can't lose.

Congrats to California...perhaps they should also insist that car manufacturers put parachutes, fire extinguishers and “floaties” in cars because that’s where California will end up...in a hole, in a fire or in the ocean. Best of luck!

I love how Democrats are pro-states rights under Trump.

Gavin NEWSOM in California . . Are you going to eliminate automobiles on the freeways . . Clean energy . . Yea that will work in California . . . . .

Gavin newsom is a disgrace to the people of California! When the F will you people wake up amd remember what country you live in! It is not California, it is the USA!

Yet CA’s moves to make driving cars too expensive, install public transportation cut into the leverage over the automakers over the long run...

Poso Del Mundo.

Saw him interviewed last night. He holds true to his beliefs. He spoke highly of California. Proud he's our Governor.

Newsom thinks that the millionaires and Hollywood elites prefer small economy vehicles over the expensive fast ones? I don't believe that

Newsome is a mess like the state...

It's time to repeal the waiver California was granted almost 50 years ago.

California again leads the world, despite Trump’a lame efforts to reign in progress and achievement. Bravo Governor Newsome!

Leadership by a future president.

Hes just mad that DonaldJTrumpJr stole his woman.

Why isn’t he running?
