Overview

• The California governor posted a compilation on X showing Trump stumbling on Air Force One stairs, whiffing a golf shot and displaying hand stains, set to a lyric referencing a single mom from Reba McEntire’s song.
• He also announced a crypto meme token called Trump Corruption Coin, signaling a shift to unconventional tactics in the rivalry.
• Trump responded on Truth Social by sharing an article alleging Newsom plans social housing in Pacific Palisades and called the idea “so dumb.”
• The feud grew out of June’s dispute over Trump’s decision to send National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles for ICE operations over Newsom’s objection, which spurred legal challenges and protests.
• Separate reporting describes Newsom prodding Trump online with a post invoking dementia to challenge his credibility, with advisers saying Trump vowed “revenge,” as health rumors circulated before the White House cited a chronic but nonserious venous condition.
