Gavin Newsom Handily Roasts Donald Trump's Offhand Insult
HuffPost
The president opened himself to the governor's mocking with just two words.
President Donald Trump attempted to insult California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday, only to end up getting roasted himself, as his attempted put-down just opened the doors for Newsom and others to mock him on something he’s really, really sensitive about.
During a cabinet meeting, the president lashed out at Newsom, who has been mocking Trump by emulating the president’s unhinged and all-caps social media posting style. He attacked the governor’s job performance — and handed him the ammunition he needed.
“You have an incompetent governor in California. Gavin. I know him very well. He’s incompetent.” Trump griped to reporters. “He’s a nice guy, looks good. ‘Hi everybody. How ya doin’?′ He’s got some strange hand action going on. I don’t know what his problem is. It’s a little weird, to be honest. Something shaky going on.”
Newsom was ready to pounce in response: “You really want to have the conversation about hands?”
