Gavin Newsom Won’t Stop Mocking Trump

Washington Post: “Once intermittently cordial with Trump, the governor has embraced all-out warfare, taunting him daily in what his team calls a ‘flood the zone’ strategy. Trump, in turn, has mentioned Newsom more than any other potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate since the start of his second term…”

“The result: a remarkable back-and-forth between the president and the governor of the most populous state in the country that reached a low point last week. Trump posted multiple doctored videos of Newsom on social media, while the governor suggested Trump has dementia and pinned an unflattering photo of the president atop his official press account.”

“Many Democrats eager for direction are delighting in Newsom’s high-profile clashes and aggressive trolling of the president, though some in the party remain skeptical that a California liberal will be their best candidate in 2028.”
