Trump calls Newsom "Incompetent" over border arrest challenge
President Donald Trump recently commented on Newsom's challenge to border czar Tom Homan for an arrest. "I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great. Gavin likes the publicity. But I think it would be a great thing. He's done a terrible job," Trump told a reporter on the White House lawn.
Trump indicated that he likes Newsom, but that his work as Governor of California has been poor and incompetent. “I like Gavin Newsom. He’s a good guy, but he’s tremendously incompetent. Everybody knows that. Just look at the little railroad he’s building. It’s a hundred times over budget. We’re putting a flagpole up there. Under budget. I’m always under budget,” President Trump commented.
