"I was told he was asked to give a speech on his signature policies, but he's not speaking because what have his economic policies brought? Outward migration from California, a gigantic budget deficit, the largest homeless population in America, and the poor folks in the Palisades who had their homes burned down," the Treasury secretary said.
"He is here hobnobbing with the global elite while his California citizens are still homeless. Shame on him. He's too smug, too self-absorbed, and too economically illiterate to know anything."
