Newsom offered a brief yet blistering summary of his talk with the president just before he deployed the National Guard to protests in Los Angeles.

When President Trump unleashed the troops on the streets of Los Angeles, his actions had an unintended consequence. Gov. Gavin Newsom was suddenly in the spotlight, a forceful adversary.
