The political row over Donald Trump's physical and mental vigour escalated dramatically today after the former US President branded all discussion of his declining health a 'treasonous' offence. Barely had the extraordinary, nearly 500-word rant hit the internet before California Governor Gavin Newsom fired back, immediately challenging the claim by publicly stating the president was 'in poor physical health.'
In a remarkable act of political defiance, Newsom deliberately committed what Trump had just declared a high crime.
