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?”
Newsom’s roast post addressed two handy issues about Trump.
