Gavin Newsom calls out Trump 'clown show' as president hits California hard

An electric vehicle charging program set to have been rolled out across several blue states has been scrapped, infuriating Gavin Newsom's Press Office.

The Governor of California's team took to X and called out Donald Trump and the decision to cancel the EV plan. A post from the Press Office reads, "Once again Trump is treating the White House like one of his bad reality shows. We've seen this clown show before, and we know how it ends — with Trump losing.

"These cuts are purely political and mirror his recent losing actions rejected by the court. We will continue fighting for Californians." The post followed on from the Press Office account posting a clip of Newsom giving a speech. The Press Office captioned the video, "Donald Trump does not believe in the law or that it applies to him."

The Press Office also denounced the president's rhetoric over healthcare funding. The post reads, "This is becoming a familiar pattern: Trump publicly claims he will rip away public health funding from states that voted against him, and offers no details or formal notice. If or when the Trump Admin takes action, we will respond appropriately."

Newsom had already mocked Trump earlier this week, ripping into the president's Super Bowl statement. Trump had fumed at the Bad Bunny halftime show, taking to Truth Social and ripping into the performance.

He wrote, "There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

Newsom's Press Office responded with a related post of its own. They wrote, "BEAUTIFUL HALFTIME SHOW. GOD BLESS BAD BUNNY! GOD BLESS AMERICA! — GOVERNOR GCN." The Governor of California also posted from his official X account to praise the performance."
