Trump Shocks Tucker by Talking Up Friendly Relationship With Gavin Newsom

[Zorro]

“I used to get along great with him, you know, when I was president,” Trump said, to the Fox News host’s very visible disbelief.

A day after Tucker Carlson spent his opening monologue criticizing California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Fox News host was surprised to hear that the Democrat used to “get along great” with Donald Trump when he was president and would praise him often—at least, according to Trump.

Newsom, often a villain in the eyes of Fox News opinion hosts, contributors and guests, was mentioned warmly by the former president when responding to Carlson’s question about potential Democratic presidential candidates should Joe Biden not end up running for re-election. (Biden has said that he intends on doing so.)

“You have a very ambitious guy in California, but he’s done a terrible job with the state,” Trump said of the governor, who was elected in 2018, won a recall election in Sept. 2021, and secured a second term last fall.

“I used to get along great with him, you know, when I was president. Got along really good,” Trump said to a wide-eyed Carlson. “He was always very nice to me. Said the greatest things. He would say things like, ‘He’s doing a great job.’”

mistakes civil politeness for admiration.

3. I see this as Trump taking a dig at Carlson for his leaked text messages trashing Trump

Trump never was one to forgive the smallest slight, let alone a full-blown trashing.

4. Gavin kissed his ass to get the appropriate federal aid for the Camp Fire (i.e Paradise CA) and

also early on in COVID for the same reason, because TFG is a corrupt and petulant baby who would never do the right thing without an ego-stroking first. Dumbass Donnie understands this, deep down. He's pouting, however, that he no longer can demand that sort of ass kissing from Gavin.

10. "little ronnie white boots"

I don’t think that he’ll ever live that down. One of the few things that seem to be effective against these narcissistic wannabe autocrats is public humiliation. We really need to use that technique more often.
