I woke up to jokes this morning from fellow Californians about how we need a wall separating us from the rest of the United States — and to make President Trump pay for it.
But we aren’t going to do that, because we’ve been through this before: After all, Arnold Schwarzenegger was our governor.
Today feels a lot like the October day in 2003 when Californians realized that a bodybuilder-turned-action star was our state’s new leader. There are endless parallels between Schwarzenegger and Trump, both outsiders with roots in entertainment, no political experience, problems with groping women, and vague promises to clean up government.
