Exactly, and this administration will have no problem going after a possible future political opponent for an act that is to be frank, easily proven if he isn’t explicit in stating these are not the views of the U.S. and he can only hope they will be in the future
Yeah. Frankly, if I were Newsom, I probably wouldn’t do this. I suppose that it’s possible that he’s had serious legal analysis done taking the Logan Act into consideration, maybe even wants Trump to send the Justice Department after him, though I don’t think that it’s the tack I’d take. I think he’d do better to highlight unpopular failings in Trump’s policy and then say “if you elect me President, I will do differently”.
I’m also not at all sure that the climate is what I’d bang on, as Newsom. Like, I think that most climate voters are probably already voting Democratic. I think that he’d do better to highlight areas in which Trump’s policies are causing a reduction in standard of living, where he’s got a better chance of picking up swing voters.
That being said, he’s a professional politician, and I’m not, and he probably has a team of people picking apart polls and with a better political science background than me, so…shrugs
