NBC
In a bulleted list on X, Newsom named "the acts of a dictator" and reshared a video of Trump telling reporters today that officials will face charges if they stand in the way of law and order.
The list included "inciting and provoking violence," "creating mass chaos," "militarizing cities" and "arresting opponents."
"These are the acts of a dictator, not a President," Newsom wrote.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Someone has to stop him from these terrible acts of autocracy.
And then, for him to call it an insurrection? He wouldn't know what an insurrection was, even if it bit him in the ass. Oh yeah, that's already happened. The only issue then was he confused insurrection with patriotism. Only an idiot could possibly be that toopid.
There are many times, I wake up and think, why did we allow our government to be taken over by all these moronic autocrats. God help us all. I'm serious here. Isn't there anything that an be done legally to remove him from office? And if there is, why is it not being done?

Both Trump terms have been plenty violent. Trump is the common denominator.
