Unlike most California officials, he seemed to have a good relationship with San Diego’s Republican mayor, and he certainly seemed to get along with Poway’s more conservative Republican mayor. Funny story revealed on KGTV:
The Poway mayor didn’t know that Trump was accompanied by his new National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien, who had been appointed to the post that morning. The Poway mayor assumed the man next to Trump was a flunky and handed him his camera and asked him to take a picture of him with the president before the aghast, ahem, Secret Service intervened. Trump, meanwhile, sure as heck was happy with those leaders and was happy to tell everyone at the presser.
