Boom.

California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom thanked President Donald Trump on Thursday for securing a FEMA grant for Newsom's state as multiple wildfires continued to rage.

It wasn't long, however, until the bad blood between the two reignited, thanks to Donald Trump's Twitter feed. Again falsely claiming that California's wildfires were due to a lack of maintenance, Trump threatened to revoke federal aid from California in an unhinged Twitter thread.


But Governor Newsom wasted no time in clapping back at Trump—using his spotty record on climate change to do so.

In recent years, Trump repeatedly dismissed climate change as a hoax invented by the Chinese. He acknowledged the existence of climate change ahead of his campaign for the 2016 presidential election.

Routinely, Trump blames even non-forest fires in California on a lack of comprehensive forest management, neglecting that a majority of forests in California are managed at the federal level.

Newsom wasn't the only one to call out the President's rant against California.

Numerous scientists have acknowledged climate change as a factor in the growing number of deadly wildfires in the state, yet Trump has repeatedly worked to roll back pollution and other environmental regulations in the state.

“We’re waging war against the most destructive fires in our state’s history, and Trump is conducting a full-on assault against the antidote," Newsom said of the President's efforts.

Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled JD Vance Over Tariffs With An AI Video About Couches

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Vice President JD Vance—and his love of couches—with an AI-generated video to troll him over the rising costs of goods due to President Donald Trump's retaliatory tariffs.

Earlier this week, Trump announced new tariffs: 10% on softwood timber and lumber, and 25% on “certain upholstered wooden products,” set to take effect October 14. The move follows Trump’s announcement last week of additional tariffs on kitchen cabinets, vanities, and other upholstered products, which will take effect October 1.
