Gavin Newsom: Trump and Scott Bessent Are ‘Dumb and Dumber,’ Trump Used Tariffs on Vietnam to Get a Deal on His Golf Court

TRANSCRIPT:

NEWSOM: "This is dumb and dumber, Trump and Bessent. They have wrecked this economy, 1.4 percent GDP growth in the last quarter, inflation back up to 3 percent, the worst jobs market we have seen since 2013, 2.2 percent GDP for the entire year. He inherited 2.8. It's a wrecking ball presidency. He's wrecking this economy. His entire economic paradigm is mass deportations, tax cuts for billionaires, and tariffs. And he's been exposed. He's a fraud. And, by the way, the tariff, this is a self-dealing operation. This is about his personal portfolio. You know exactly what he did in Vietnam with the tariffs. He used them to get a deal on his golf course to fast-track his development. Connect the dot. This is unprecedented grift happening in real time."
