MAR-A-LAGO, FL—President-Elect Donald Trump has proposed building a new border wall that excludes California, following Governor Gavin Newsom’s threat to ignore federal immigration laws. This latest development has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, leaving many to wonder if the United States is on the verge of a new era of state versus federal government conflict or if these two leaders have finally lost their minds.

During a press conference, Trump argued that by excluding California from the new border wall, he could more effectively secure the nation’s southern border and prevent the state’s residents from attempting to enter the United States unlawfully. He also claimed that this move would send a message to other states that defy federal immigration laws, showing that there are consequences for their actions.

“This is a necessary step to protect our country and uphold the rule of law,” said Trump. “By building a new border wall that excludes California, we will be able to better control the flow of immigrants into our nation and ensure that only those who follow our laws are allowed to enter.”

The reaction to Trump’s proposal has been mixed, with some expressing support for his decision to exclude California from the new border wall, while others have laughed it off as yet another example of political grandstanding. Social media has been abuzz with memes and jokes mocking the president’s stance, with many users pointing out the irony of building a wall to keep out a state’s residents who are already living in the country.

As the nation grapples with this latest development, it remains to be seen how Trump’s proposal will impact the political landscape. One thing is certain, though: the president’s plan to exclude California from the new border wall has quickly become the talk of the town, and not in a way they likely intended.
