Gavin Newsom has reportedly taken another shot at Donald Trump, this time calling the president “grandpa.” The California Governor made the comment in response to Trump’s recent unexpected statement at a White House event this week.
Gavin Newsom slams Donald Trump as ‘grandpa’
California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Donald Trump for unexpectedly clarifying the difference between “sea” and “see” during his speech at a White House event on Wednesday, hosted in honor of Military Mother’s Day.
“Drug traffic coming into our country is way down. And by sea—by sea, by ocean, by the water, you know,” Trump said, before veering off topic to explain the homophones. “A lot of people say, ‘What do you mean by sea?’” he added. “I said, see, like vision? No. It’s sea. S-E-A,” the president stated. Later, Newsom reacted to the remark with an X (formerly Twitter) post, saying, “Time for another cognitive test for grandpa.”
Firing back at Newsom for his latest remarks, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said, “Gavin Newscum is the worst governor in America, and he also may be the dumbest. President Trump’s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the last administration when Democrats and other lunatics like Newscum intentionally covered up Joe Biden’s serious mental and physical decline from the American people” (via The Daily Beast).
Newsom has reportedly been in a long-running feud with Trump, trading insults multiple times in the past. Speaking with reporters last month, Trump said, “Gavin Newscum has admitted that he is a, that he has learning disabilities.” The president also called Newsom a “A Cognitive Mess!” in a Truth Social post. Newsom fired back on X. He posted a screenshot of Trump’s post and, without mentioning any name, wrote about having spoken on dyslexia and knew that it would be “hard for a brain-dead moron” to understand.
Most recently, Newsom also made fun of Trump for appearing to doze off during a news conference at the Oval Office. “Asleep at the wheel,” he commented under the video, adding, “DOZY DON IS BUSY DOZING.” Newsom’s moniker for the president was seemingly a reference to Trump’s “Sleepy Joe” nickname for Joe Biden.
