People are calling him out and some cannot stop laughing at the viral video. However, California Governor Gavin Newsom, on the other hand, urged Trump to respect their "difference of opinion" on the issue. He said: "We’ve known each other too long, and as you suggest, the working relationship, I value. We obviously feel very strongly the hots are getting hotter, the dries are getting dryer".
