California Governor Gavin Newsom told grandpa Donald Trump to take his medicine after a fresh Truth Social diatribe on Tuesday.
Newsom hurled fresh accusations of dementia against Trump after the president blasted a plan to build low-income housing in the Pacific Palisades and rehashed debunked claims about the states response to the devastating wildfires in January.

Newsoms office clarified that there is no state effort targeting new low-income housing in the Pacific Palisades, citing a Los Angeles Times story addressing false claims that new builds would push out wealthy residents. It also pointed out that the governor does not issue housing permits, and that there is no such thing as a federal housing permit.
Newsoms team also debunkedyet againthe presidents months-old claim that Californias wildfire response was bungled by the governor. Trump has repeatedly accused Newsom of failing to accept hundreds of millions of gallons of water from the Pacific Northwest to quell the fires, even though that doesnt connect to Californias water systems.

(10,428 posts)a private company or a private individual, especially Democratic Politicians or celebrities) would fact check him "immediately" like this? I honestly think a widely concerted effort to do this would drive away all his remaining non-MAGA supporters (Most MAGAs are a lost cause at this point). I can only hope people who can make this happen are paying attention.
For TV, they could have a distinctive beep for every lie. At the end, a box would appear with a comment.

I wonder where exactly the rich think their workers live? They have to know they don't pay them enough to live in the kind of neighborhoods they approve of. And lately there isn't even enough middle class housing since most new building has been luxury.
