Trump Calls Into Fox News Show, Obliterates Failed CA Gov. Gavin Newsom As Only He Can – RedState
There are certain politicians that I have a visceral reaction to – a very negative one. Topping the list is California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, followed closely by Golden State gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14) and repellent Rep. Dan Goldman (NY-10).
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA-11), the former lip-smacking, speech-ripping Speaker of the House, also deserves an honorable mention, but let’s be real: She doesn’t seem to be relevant anymore.
So I understand that not everyone finds President Donald Trump funny or entertaining and thinks his policies are destructive. Many relatives and friends I know cringe at the sight of him.
That doesn’t deter me, however, from coming to my own conclusion, which is that he’s really funny as hell, is still as sharp as a tack at 79, and is dead right on most issues. He proved it once again by calling into Fox News’ The Five on Thursday.
While the president discussed a number of issues, he did his best when he called out California Governor Gavin Newsom for the failed fraud that he is. I moved to California over 30 years ago, and over the past seven years I have watched Governor Hair Gel and the far-left Democratic legislature destroy the state with endless taxes and regulations, one of the most draconian COVID policies in the country, and a complete failure to address homelessness, crime, and fraud.
Trump let him do it:

Trump was asked which of the potential Democratic presidential candidates would do better, former Vice President Kamala Harris, who the president crushed in the 2024 election after Biden dropped out, or Newsom.
Trump, as usual, did not hold back:
Well, first of all, he [Newsom] said he couldn’t read. All right? You know, he did an interview…
This was perhaps the worst interview for a professional politician I have ever seen. He said he was mentally incompetent. He doesn’t know how to read a speech. He said things about his brain, he does poorly on the Board.
And then he looked around the room, and he said something about, uh, I’m stupid, just like all of you. And he ends up being called a racist because of this statement.
TRUE:

Trump, always talkative, was not done:
It was the worst interview, but he admitted he was a stupid person. And we don’t want a stupid person as president. And if you look at him with the hands and everything else, there’s something wrong with this guy. [Brutal, but true. Watch the above video if you don’t believe me.]
Um, he’s a nice guy, but he loses the look… It happens…
Normally I would condemn someone who makes fun of their mental state or learning issues, but we’re not just talking about “someone.” This is a guy who will almost certainly run for President of the United States, and we’ve seen this movie before – very recently:
He admits that he suffers from a mental disability. He admits it. And someone said that a journalist, a fake journalist, said to me, well, it’s not fair that you’re talking about his mental disability.
I said yes, but he said he was basically mentally disabled. And I think that’s okay. I just don’t want that in a president. All right? We have enough problems. By the way, we just got it.
We lived through this for four years and look what it gave us. Not good.
I don’t think Newsom should be disqualified as a serious candidate because of dyslexia, his upbringing, or anything else of that nature. I think he should be roundly rejected by American voters because he has an incredible record of failure and his woke politics have destroyed countless lives and demolished the California dream.
Bonus Coverage: Trump also smoked the show’s liberal, Jessica Tarlov, who, although she wasn’t there for this segment, often looks like she has extreme stomach pain and happily comes to the defense of the most ridiculous policies, much to the chagrin of co-host Greg Gutfeld:
HILARIOUS: Jesse Watters: “Next time you do this on ‘The Five,’ can we have you on set? Because we really want you to sit next to Jessica.”
President Trump: “I look at Jessica and I’m not a fan. She’s using fake numbers. She’ll say, ‘Well, he’s only voting at 42%.’ That’s not… pic.twitter.com/iFINM6efn9

President Trump: “I look at Jessica and I’m not a fan. She uses fake numbers. She’ll say, ‘Well, he’s only polling at 42 percent.’ That’s not true. In fact, I’m very high in the polls. I hate people who use fake polls.
“I’m sure I would love her. I’m sure she’s a lovely person… She’s just not for me.”
“Now tell me, did she not want to do it, or did you kick her off the show?”
Donald Trump is blunt, he is rude, and he often says things that are not “politically correct.” I understand he’s not everyone’s cup of tea. But after eight years of Barack Obama, four years of Joe Biden, seven years of Gavin Newsom, 39 years of Nancy Pelosi and 45 years old by Chuck Schumer, we’ve seen the Democrats’ playbook, and their mission is to destroy everything that makes the United States special.
If it takes a bull in a china shop to right the ship, so be it. Eat it up, Democrats.
Editor’s note: President Trump is leading America toward the “Gilded Age” while Democrats are desperately trying to stop him.
