"Now that Donald Trump has taken over Venezuela's oil wells and even appointed himself "acting president" of that country on his website, I hesitate to mention this underdiscussed threat. Just the mention of it might give Trump an idea that hasn't occurred to him because he's too busy trying to take over Greenland. But once he's done provoking international outrage and alienating all the other members of NATO with his Greenland confiscation, California could be next."
"Trump would deny his decision has anything to do with Gov. Gavin Newsom's recent call for resistance to the president's activity. Speaking about European leaders in Davos who have not firmly opposed Trump's authoritarian plans, Newsom announced: "It's time to stand tall and firm and have a backbone. I can't take this complicity, people rolling over." People are not just rolling over in Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington, D.C., where ICE surges and cruel, mass arrests have been encouraged by Trump."
Donald Trump has taken control of Venezuela's oil wells and styled himself as "acting president" of that country on his website, prompting fear he could target California's oil wells next. Mentioning the threat could give Trump ideas, given his focus on Greenland and the international outrage that would follow. Trump would likely deny any link to Gov. Gavin Newsom's call for resistance; Newsom urged leaders to "stand tall" against complicity. Residents in several U.S. cities have resisted ICE surges and mass arrests, and more troop deployments to California remain possible. California's oil infrastructure is intact, and Newsom signed a 2025 bill allowing more drilling.
