Gavin Newsom calls out Trump for 'increasing bills on seniors': 'Where's the oversight?'
Gavin Newsom has accused the Donald Trump administration of working harder to cover up its shortcomings than actually fix problems affecting the US.
The Press Office for the Governor of California took to X and made a series of posts lambasting the president and his team, which Newsom believes are working hard on all the wrong things. Newsom has been openly critical of Trump's response to rising oil prices, dubbing the president "Putin's good little boy" in a previous scathing post to the social media site.
A post from Gavin Newsom's Press Office reads, "The Trump administration working overtime to justify why their actions raised gasoline prices nationwide. Affordability is a 'hoax' in their book."
A separate post from Newsom reads, "The Trump administration is rewarding insurers for increasing bills on seniors! Where’s the oversight? FRAUD, WASTE, ABUSE?!?!"
Newsom's team has since broken down the cost of war in Iran on the US, and what the money used to bomb the Middle Eastern country could have been used for.
The team wrote, "Trump’s war is costing about $2 BILLION a day. That’s the same as: 270,000 Pell Grants helping students afford college. A full year of rent for 143,000 families. Nearly 4 years of the 988 suicide crisis hotline."
"3+ months of WIC nutrition for moms and babies. 29 days of breakfast and lunch for every public school kid in America. All the humanitarian aid the U.S. gives the UN in a year. A year of free preschool for 110,000 low-income kids. A month of SNAP for nearly 10 million Americans. A month of Medicaid for nearly 3 million Americans."
It comes a day after Newsom highlighted government lies and myths, which Trump did not want people to find out. Newsom's Press Office wrote, "Trump launched military strikes on Iran with no plan for the fallout, and Americans are paying on average $0.56 per gallon more at the pump. Here are the facts Trump hopes you never see."
Included in those facts the president had tried to obscure is an explanation of how gas tax holidays worked and agreements that were offering protection to drivers in California.
