President Donald Trump spent Wednesday attacking California Governor Gavin Newsom, ending the day with a lengthy Truth Social post that targeted Newsom’s dyslexia and called him “racist.” This came after Newsom spent the earlier part of the day criticizing Trump and his administration on social media.
According to The Daily Beast, the back-and-forth escalated quickly, moving from general political jabs to personal attacks on appearance and mental capacity. Trump, 79, started during a rally in Kentucky, using his nickname for Newsom, “Gavin Newscum,” and told supporters he wanted to “get off the teleprompter” and go rogue with his insults.
