Trump is trying to instigate a civil war. Sending troops to Los Angeles is just the beginning. Now he's threatening to arrest Governor Newsom.

Canadian here who spent the last 3 winters in Savannah, GA. But no more. Even left a week early with no intention to book next year. Can't control policy or insulting rhetoric, but can control how and where I spend my $$. Looks like Spain for 2026. Spoke to local media about it.
