Gavin Newsom Snaps Back at Trump with 'Dementia' Dig
"After pro-MAGA reporter Brian Glenn asked about a possible congressional investigation of Newsom over his handling of the Pacific Palisades fires earlier this year, Trump further dug into the governor. This is a very incompetent guy. I watched him with the hands I say, What's going on with the hands? There's something wrong with him.' You watch him. There's something wrong with this guy, the president said."
"Newsom responded on X to the water rant by simply posting a question about dementia. Newsom's post asked the question: Do people with dementia repeat the same falsehoods and crazy conspiracies over and over again? The answer provided was that people with dementia often repeat the same statements, questions, and sometimes false or mistaken beliefs, primarily because of memory loss and impaired reasoning."
President Trump criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass as grossly incompetent and claimed he saved Los Angeles by deploying National Guard troops, a move a federal judge ruled illegal. A reporter's question about a potential congressional investigation of Newsom led Trump to directly mock the governor's physical mannerisms and accuse both leaders of mishandling the Pacific Palisades fires. Trump alleged failures on building permits and emergency water use and said he had demanded water access from the Pacific Northwest. Newsom pushed back, calling the water claim a crazy conspiracy and posting a question on X about dementia and repetitive falsehoods.
