In a shocking turn of events, California Governor Gavin Newsom has boldly declared that “Trump is not a king” after a crucial National Guard control case. The governor, known for his outspoken criticism of the current administration, made the statement during a press conference in Sacramento.
The case in question involved a dispute over who has the authority to control the California National Guard. President Trump had previously issued an executive order attempting to take control of the National Guard, but Governor Newsom was having none of it.
In a fiery speech, Newsom declared, “I will not stand by and let this so-called king dictate what happens in my state. California’s National Guard belongs to the people of California, not to a power-hungry monarch in the White House.”
When asked for a response, President Trump simply tweeted, “Sad! Newsom is a loser who can’t handle the big leagues. I’m the best king, believe me.”
The feud between Newsom and Trump has only escalated in recent weeks, with Newsom accusing the president of overstepping his authority and Trump firing back with insults on Twitter.
In a hilarious twist, comedian John Oliver weighed in on the situation, saying, “I never thought I’d see the day when Gavin Newsom would be the voice of reason in a political debate. But here we are, folks. It’s like watching a unicorn ride a rainbow.”
Despite the tension between the two leaders, Governor Newsom remains defiant in his stance against Trump’s attempts to assert control over California’s National Guard. “I will fight tooth and nail to protect the rights of the people of California,” Newsom declared. “And if that means standing up to a wannabe king, then so be it.”
As the battle for control of the National Guard rages on, one thing is clear: in the eyes of Governor Newsom, Trump may wear a crown, but he is definitely not a king.
