President Donald Trump did not mince words when talking about Gavin Newsom, and the California governor did not take kindly to the remarks.
While taking questions from reporters in the White House, Trump ripped into “incompetent” Newsom, who “doesn’t get the job done.”
Watch:
“I know Gavin very well. He’s an incompetent guy with a good line of bullsht” – Trump.
Everyone knows Gavin Newsom is a FAILURE.

“I know Gavin very well. He’s an incompetent guy with a good line of bulls**t, and he doesn’t get the job done,” the president said.
Newsom retweeted this video, adding a Trump-like caption of his own, a tactic that he has recently adopted as a way of mocking the president and his iconic way of speaking.
Such low energy. SAD! https://t.co/uRZqTbgL2r

“Such low energy. SAD!” Newsom wrote.
This comes after Newsom has vowed to take action in his state to redraw congressional boundaries to help the Democratic Party in response to Trump’s urging Texas to do the same to benefit the GOP.
X users had a lot to say about the clip:
Gavin Newsom isn’t going to be running against JD Vance.
He will be running against his performance in California.

President Trump has some rare insight into Newsom because Don Jr.’s former long-time girlfriend, Kimberly Guifoyle, was married to Gavin. I’m sure Trump and she have spoken about him. Gavin cheated on Kimberly during their marriage with his best friend’s wife. Trump knows Gavin…

Whenever he does a presser without a tie, he’s feeling fiesty and he’s going to have a mic drop or two

All you have to do is look at California and how it has severely declined over the years! Half the residents have fled the state, it’s a total disaster!

Others had harsh words for Newsom:
The only time you have shown energy is when you cleaned up the streets to roll out the red carpet for Xi Jinping.

He’s 5 years older than you and still out hustling you. Good luck keeping up when you hit his age

All this energy you put in these posts could have been used “Making California Great Again” but you have it circling the drain dude
