A governor says he's banning an American citizen from his state. The headline spreads. People react. But did anyone stop to ask — can a governor actually do that?

In the first Trap Check, we break down the Gavin Newsom vs. Kid Rock "ban" story using the TrapThink framework: how the headline was engineered, why both sides are performing, and what the Constitution actually says about interstate travel.

Trap Check is TrapThink's midweek companion — one story, three pillars, clear eyes.
