Trump's Mental Breakdown Follows Continuous Teasing from Gavin Newsom's Persistent Taunts
California Governor Gavin Newsom and former President Donald Trump have engaged in a public spat on social media, with the latest exchange taking place on Truth Social. In response to a post by Trump, Governor Newsom shared a screenshot and the word "Triggered".
The online feud between the two political figures began when Governor Newsom, a member of the Democratic Party, launched a parody campaign mimicking President Trump's social media rants. This included mocking Trump supporters such as Kid Rock. In response, Trump described Governor Newsom as "incompetent" and "a man who is destroying the once Great State of California" when speaking to reporters.
Governor Newsom explained the strategy behind his mockery of President Trump, stating that it was aimed at highlighting the behavior of the President of the United States. In a conversation with MeidasTouch Network's Adam Mockler, Newsom said, "I thought it was time to put a mirror to Trump."
In addition to his mockery of President Trump, Governor Newsom also called for a broader call to action aimed at fellow Democrats. He urged them to stand up and meet the current moment with fortitude, not for themselves but for each other and the country. This call to action did not specifically mention media support or funding.
However, Governor Newsom did not shy away from criticising Fox News, accusing the network of weaponizing Trump's grievances and attacking vulnerable people. In a statement on Twitter (X, formerly Twitter), Newsom responded to Trump's criticism with the statement, "Such low energy. SAD!".
The latest exchange on Truth Social saw Trump stating that Newsom is "way down in the polls" and "I will save California!!!". This further escalated the ongoing feud between the two political figures.
It remains to be seen how this online feud will develop in the future, but one thing is clear: Governor Newsom and President Trump continue to engage in a public spat that shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
