California Governor Gavin Newsom trolled Donald Trump after his social media meltdown over the elections. Trump posted on Truth Social, “Has anybody been watching the CROOKED Election going on in California. Two great Republican Candidates are being cheated, and so is America, which, if the Democrats are able to fulfill their mission, great trouble and consternation will follow. Watch this “Election” closely!!!”

Newsom’s office reposted it and wrote, “There isn’t a bigger sore loser in the country. Back to bed, grandpa!”

Newsom has long been a Trump critic. He has taken sarcastic digs at Trump like no other politician.

Trump has been against the mail-in ballot system and slamming the slow vote count in California. The ballots sometimes arrive even a week later, even though they have to be postmarked by Election Day. This delays the counting, leading up to Trump’s claims of rigged elections.

Many MAGA supporters came to Trump’s rescue after Newsom’s dig. One X user commented, “No! Everyone is sick of California fraud. Remember, we know how you are, governor.” Another one added, “If you are so confident it was a secure election, then volunteer for an audit!” One more chimed in, “You should promote election security, Newsom. Instead, you actively and openly thwart it.”

Currently, Democratic candidate Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton are fighting for Newsom’s place in the elections. Becerra is currently leading; hence, Trump called the elections crooked. Another Democratic candidate, Tom Steyer, was in third place.

Later in the November elections, the top candidates would run against each other even if they were from the same party. Meanwhile, Newsom could not seek reelection and may run for president in 2028.

In a recent NBC interview with “Meet the Press,” Trump stormed out after getting angry. The host, Kristen Welker, mentioned there’s no proof of the 2020 elections being rigged. Apart from talking about the Iran war and shutting down the anti-weaponization fund, Trump slammed the process of vote counting in California.

He said, “Let me tell you, it’s four days, and they aren’t even close to coming up with the—.” This is when Welker interrupted him and said, “That’s how they count the votes in California.” Trump added, “Do you know why they’re doing that? Because they’re cheating in the election.”

He called the California election officials and news channel “crooked” before taking his microphone off and storming out. Trump also claimed that he would have won in all 50 states in 2024 if there had been an “honest count.”
