[Regnum] California Governor Gavin Newsom declared himself the leader of the free world on social media amid the shutdown of the US federal government.
Oh dear. Who will tell him?"Good news, patriots! With Washington closed, I, Gavin Newsom, am now the leader of the free world," Newsom wrote.
He proposed his "program," which included universal health care, free school lunches and daycare, high-paying jobs, and the elimination of "evil" tariffs.
Newsom also promises subsidies for eggs, hair gel for "pretty Democrats," and the elimination of Ticketmaster fees for fans of singer Taylor Swift.
The US federal government shut down at midnight (7:00 a.m. Moscow time) on October 1 due to a lack of funding. In Congress, Republicans and Democrats failed to agree on a number of spending items and failed to agree on a budget. A temporary resolution to continue federal funding failed to pass. Representatives of both parties accuse each other of prolonging the shutdown for political reasons.
US President Donald Trump has stated that he will use the shutdown to implement massive cuts. Halting government funding could yield positive results. The American leader intends to use the situation to get rid of "democratic things" that the country no longer needs.
