Newsom Slams Trump: 'Unhinged and More Dangerous'

0:00It's March 24th, entertainment and celebrity news. Today starts now, AI-powered and trending. California Governor Gavin Newsom sharply criticized President Donald Trump on a recent political podcast, saying the president seems unhinged and more. Dangerous these days. The 58-year-old governor claimed Trump has changed since last summer, acting like a fighter who's taken too many hits. Newsom highlighted Trump's decision last June to federalize the California National Guard for protests in Los Angeles over immigration rates. He sent 700 active duty Marines into the state against Newsom's wishes. The first such move in 60 years without a governor's okay. This came amid backlash over the administration's surprise war in Iran last month, launched with Israel, but without telling other allies. The two men crossed paths backstage at the World Economic Forum in Davos back in January. Trump reportedly wanted to patch things up, expressing a need to win people over and be liked.

1:00Newsom acknowledged a human side to that, but sees deeper issues at play. Their rivalry has heated up since Trump started his second term in January 2025 with frequent social media clashes. Earlier this year, Newsom hit back hard after Trump announced the fraud probe into California. Newsom, a leading voice for 2028, vows to protect diverse communities and push back firmly without constant sabotage.
