Trump says it is inappropriate for UK to be dealing with Gavin Newsom after Ed Miliband meets governor in London

Donald Trump has vented his fury against a green energy deal between the British government and California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, a likely future Democratic presidential candidate.

“The UK’s got enough trouble without getting involved with Gavin Newscum,” Trump said in an interview with Politico, using the derogatory nickname he reserves for Newsom. “Gavin is a loser. Everything he’s touched turns to garbage. His state has gone to hell, and his environmental work is a disaster.”

In an intervention that is likely to be clocked by British government officials wary of potential new landmines in the UK’s relationship with the White House, Trump went on to say it was “inappropriate” for Newsom to strike such agreements and “inappropriate for them [the UK] to be dealing with him”.

Newsom, one of the loudest domestic opponents of the US president on issues ranging from ICE deportation raids to the climate crisis, signed a memorandum of understanding in London with the UK’s energy secretary, Ed Miliband.

    Please no. Not for president! He’s in bed with billionaires too! He favors corporations over public citizens repeatedly. AOC and Talarico combo would rock the vote and guarantee some actual change.

      The guy who personally destroyed homeless encampments, is a raging transphobe, mails burner phones to CEOs with a “call me if you need anything” note, denies the genocide in Gaza, and invites white supremacists like Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, and Ben Shapiro on his podcast? No thanks.

      I agree that Newsom shouldn’t be anywhere near a presidency, but AOC is a woman. America is just too misogynist.
