Newsom accused Trump of treating Los Angeles as if it had been “under siege” and mentioned he was “trying to wreck” the state in reference to the controversial deployment of hundreds of Nationwide Guard troops, a transfer tied to the federal authorities’s immigration crackdowns.
Newsom emphasised that California doesn’t require army pressure to take care of order, pointing to the state’s “robust” legislation enforcement infrastructure. He then described the deployment in stark phrases.
“They’re sitting there on horses with American flags, running through soccer fields, scaring kids that are playing soccer in the middle of the day at a summer camp. For what? Just toughness,” he mentioned.
“It’s weakness masquerading as strength. That’s what I don’t like about this son of a bitch. I don’t,” Newsom mentioned. “Forgive me, I know he’s the president of the United States.”
Newsom additionally spoke about the private toll of his political feud with Trump, saying the president steadily refers to him as “Newscum,” a smear that’s affected his kids’s lives.
“How do I explain that to my kid?” he requested. “I have my kids’ friends calling my kids ‘Newscum.’ That I get because I was called that in seventh grade, but not by a 79-year-old.”
With frustration, he then implored Trump to “model better goddamn behavior, man”
When requested whether or not the strain between them had subsided, Newsom provided a blunt evaluation.
“It will be resolved when [Trump] doesn’t get any attention,” he said.
