Why CA?

Earlier today, I read an article about former President Donald Trump giving a speech in California, during which an individual was arrested for possessing firearms. It remains unclear whether this person intended to target the president or was simply acting irresponsibly. Either way, it underscores the heightened security measures surrounding presidential and other political campaigns today.

However, the real question is: why was Trump in California? He has virtually no chance of winning the state in the upcoming election. His appearance wasn’t for a fundraiser, as regular attendees were present, unless that aspect was discreetly mixed in. It’s puzzling at this stage of the campaign.

By now, campaign funds should already be secured, and efforts should be focused on maximizing voter turnout. This is not the time for leisure or casual appearances; it’s the time for executing the strategy that should have already been set in motion. The campaign’s leadership should be orchestrating every move with precision, ensuring the plan is carried out effectively. I simply don’t understand the purpose of this visit at all.
