1 / 5TrumpPresident Donald Trump boards Air Force One at Albuquerque International Sunport, Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2019, in Albuquerque, N.M. PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif. — President Donald Trump rarely passes up the chance to throw a sharp elbow at left-leaning California, but he showed Tuesday he's more than happy to cash in there with a lunch-dinner-breakfast-lunch fundraising blitz expected to scoop up $15 million from wealthy Republicans in two days.
About 100 protesters lined the road about a mile from Trump's luncheon site in Portola Valley, with demonstrators inflating giant Baby Trump and Trump Chicken balloons. "The people of San Francisco are fed up, and the people of Los Angeles are fed up. And we're looking at it, and we'll be doing something about it," he added.
For Republicans, who have been resigned to political irrelevance at the state level, a donation to Trump can amount to its own form of protest. Trump tweeted back:"I have not forgotten that when it was announced that I was going to do The Apprentice, and when it then became a big hit, helping NBC's failed lineup greatly, @DebraMessing came up to me at an Upfront & profusely thanked me, even calling me"Sir." How times have changed!"
