President Donald Trump posted a video that exposes the reality of Los Angeles, California.
When one thinks of LA, they may think of the glitz and glamor of Hollywood, or perhaps Universal Studios Hollywood, where they might take their children to have a wonderful day surrounded by familiar characters. But Trump shared a video of the reality that hides in plain view, and it should embarrass California Governor Gavin Newsom.

“This is downtown Los Angeles, California,” the narrator says. “This is not a movie though; it’s not a joke, and it’s not a publicity stunt. This is the reality that people are living in.”
The video depicts a woman using a wrench to open up a fire hydrant so she can wash a blanket in a plastic tub. Meanwhile, in the background, a woman who is visibly lethargic and likely “trippin’ on something” can be seen fussing with items in the background.
Trump and Newsom have butted heads repeatedly over the president’s agenda, and many in the Democratic governor’s own state have accused him of spending more time positioning himself for a presidential run than caring for the people of California. One of the biggest problems that has yet to be addressed in any meaningful way is the homeless crisis that is taking over the streets. It’s unclear if Newsom will do something about it before the FIFA World Cup matches or the 2028 Summer Olympics that are scheduled to take place in Los Angeles.

“I have known and respected Steve Hilton, who is running for Governor of California, for many years. He is a truly fine man, one who has watched as this once great State has gone to Hell. Gavin Newscum and the Democrats have done an absolutely horrendous job. People are fleeing, crime is increasing, and Taxes are the highest of any State in the Country, maybe the World. Steve can turn it around, before it is too late, and, as President, I will help him to do so! With Federal help, and a Great Governor, like Steve Hilton, California can be better than ever before! Steve Hilton has my COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT. He will be a GREAT Governor and, importantly, WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!!!” he wrote.
