BREAKING: California's superstar Governor Gavin Newsom obliterates Donald Trump for blatantly lying about him, tells him to "take your dementia meds, grandpa" and then brutally fact-checks him.
And he wasn't done there...
"Shockingly, I have just learned, that Gavin Newscum, the Governor of California, is in final stages of approval to build Low Income Housing in Pacific Palisades," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "How unfair is that to the people that have suffered so much!"
"Newscum allowed their houses to burn by not accepting Hundreds of Millions of Gallons of Water from the Pacific Northwest, and now, the Low Income Housing starts rising long before he gets Permits for California Citizens to rebuild, but long after the Federal Permits were issued," Trump continued.
"Lee Zeldin, EPA Administrator, and I, as President, have done the job, and produced all Permits long before anybody expected that to happen," he wrote. "Unfortunately, the Governor of California and Mayor Karen Bass failed you. Gavin Newscum’s plan to build Low Income Housing (at the Super Luxury Pacific Palisades Fire Site) is what caused the destruction of the Late, Great New York City Mayor John Lindsay’s Political Career — and John Lindsay was a Republican."
It should come as no surprise that Trump was lying in his post. Newson's Press Office, which has been relentlessly trolling Trump in recent months, sprang into action.
"Take your dementia meds, grandpa. You are making things up again," the account wrote on X. The post was accompanied by an image annotating Trump's post.
"There is no state effort targeting new low-income housing in the Pacific Palisades,” read one note along with sourcing from the LA Times.
"The water in the Pacific Northwest DOES NOT reach or connect to water systems in California," read the second note, citing Forbes.
"The Governor does not issue housing permits, LA City and LA county do. They've issued 885+" read the third note, citing the California government's website.
"There is no such thing as a federal housing permit. They have not been 'approved' because they DO NOT EXIST," read another note along with a direction to ask X's AI bot Grok to investigate the issue.
This is exactly how you combat Trump's lies. Hit him with an insult designed to get under his thin skin, then follow it up with a list of cold hard facts. It's incredibly consistent with Trump's low character to exploit a tragedy like the Los Angeles wildfires for political gain, but this time he ran into the brick wall that is Gavin Newsom.
Unlike Trump, the governor is actually interested in solving problems rather than just scoring cheap PR points. In July, he announced $101 million in new funding to help rebuild multifamily rental affordable housing in LA.
What do you think of Governor Newsom?
Please retweet and ❤️if you're a fan of Gavin Newsom!
This is California philanthropist Bill Bloomfield. A former Republican, he just gave $1 million to support Gavin Newsom's redistricting campaign in California.
RETWEET to thank Bloomfield for standing up for our democracy!
The constant barrage of lies from Bessent and other Republican figures is utterly mind-boggling😡 I'm struggling to find a single truthful statement from this group, including their pedophile leader😤 It's all a manufactured reality, and I'm baffled by the level of acceptance🤔
Trump just took the official portraits of Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and George H. W. Bush from their places of honor and relocated them to a hidden stairwell where the public can’t see them and replaced them with images of himself.
He is the smallest man to ever fucking live
17 million people just lost health care.
18 million kids just lost school meals.
3 million Americans just lost food assistance.
And $3.5 trillion was added to the deficit.
All for a tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donors.
The ultimate betrayal.
NEW: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom’s statement on passage of Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Betrayal”:
“This bill is a tragedy for the American people, and a complete moral failure. The President and his MAGA enablers are ripping care from cancer patients, meals from children, and money from working families — just to give tax breaks to the ultra-rich. With this measure, Donald J. Trump's legacy is now forever cemented: he has created a more unequal, more indebted, and more dangerous America. Shame on him.”
Clawing back public media funding would rip vital services out of our communities – early education, local journalism, emergency alerts, and local connection. Urge your Senators to vote NO @MyPublicMedia: https://t.co/Q0TlQKrOJl #ProtectMyPublicMedia
@anyonewantchips Immigrated to Canada from South Africa to get away from the end of Apartheid. Then trampolined to the U.S. on a 'student visa,' but didn't go to university. Started a business instead.
It's safe to say American citizenship means as much to him as it did to Rupert Murdoch.
Hold the fuck on. Are you telling me the guy who applied for a Canadian passport thru his Canadian-born mother to avoid South Africa’s mandatory military service, has the nerve to call 25-year decorated Navy combat vet Mark Kelly a traitor. Oh, hell no.
Keep repeating it. Why is the Trump admin rushing to ally with Putin's terrorist state? How is it in US national interests to promote war and aggression by destroying the Atlantic alliance and rewarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine?
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to make you believe that they are cutting “waste,” but they’re actually reaching into your wallet to fund tax cuts for their “rich as hell” friends.
Spread the word.
