President Donald Trump unloaded on California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, in a new Truth Social post on Thursday, telling him to "go home" after his final gubernatorial term is up.
The Truth Social post was one of many Trump made on Thursday that were aimed at his political enemies. He also called for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to be investigated and for former special counsel Jack Smith to be prosecuted. The posts happened just hours after Smith told the House Judiciary Committee in a public hearing that he still believes he can sustain a conviction against Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
"Gavin Newscum, as a 'Lame Duck' Governor of a Failing State, should not be at Davos running around screaming for the attention of Foreign Leaders, and embarrassing our Country," Trump wrote. "He made a mockery of himself, and everybody, including his staff, knows it!"
Some analysts have described Trump's appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, as a disaster. During his speech, he attacked the leaders of the U.S. allies to the extent that trade partners like Canada have described the U.S. as a source of instability in the world.
"He should get the permits so that people can build their homes destroyed by the fire that he could have prevented if he would have allowed water to flow from the Pacific Northwest.," Trump continued. "He should finish his monstrously 'overbudget and behind schedule' Railroad, from San Francisco to L.A., one of the Greatest Public Disasters in History, and focus on stopping Crime in the streets of California Cities — Then finish out his term, and GO HOME!"
"With a record like he’s got, the ruination of one of the most beautiful places on Earth, where people are leaving in droves, it is unimaginable that he could run for President but, who knows, it’s a very strange World!" Trump added.
