asserted
homes → share → 2026
"Great work, @realDonaldTrump!" Newsom wrote.
asserted
Newsom → write → work
However, several X users pointed out that although the chart reached its highest level during Trump's second administration, it shows a substantial increase between 2021 and 2024, when former President Joe Biden was in office.

asserted
