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 state’s response to the devastating wildfires in January.

Newsom’s 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.

Newsom’s team also debunked—yet again—the president’s months-old claim that California’s 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 doesn’t connect to California’s water systems.

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.

Been a pinata for the rich.

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.
