Overview
- At a White House Military Mother’s Day event, President Trump, 79, paused to explain that he meant "sea" as in S-E-A, not "see" as in vision.
- Gavin Newsom mocked the moment on X, claiming the president is declining "in real time" and calling him "Grandpa."
- The California governor challenged Trump to a live cognitive test on national TV, suggesting Sean Hannity as moderator and offering three lifelines.
- A White House spokesman fired back, calling Newsom the "worst governor" and saying Trump shows "sharpness" and "unmatched energy."
- The exchange followed Trump's recent boast that he aced cognitive tests, including a prompt to pick out a squirrel from a list of animals.
