Newsom torches Trump over California visit: ‘Deliver the aid you promised’

  • California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized President Donald Trump's recent visit to the state, calling it a "total snoozer" and "very low energy" due to his perceived lack of engagement with reporters.
  • Newsom highlighted Trump's quick departure from reporters at Los Angeles International Airport and his focus on fundraising rather than delivering on the federal aid for the victims of LA’s devastating 2025 fires.
  • During his trip, Trump attended a Republican National Committee fundraiser in Rancho Palos Verdes, participated in a roundtable, and gave an interview before heading to Las Vegas.
  • The governor contrasted California's rising minimum wage with the federal level, criticizing Trump and the GOP for defending a $7.25 minimum wage.
  • Newsom also mocked the White House's claim that Trump would "target" him during the visit, noting Trump's silence on the matter and citing California's high success rate against the administration in court.
