KUDOS to Newsom for taking the high ground, but no, I'm not going to "pray for Trump"

Newsom, 58, Asks World to ‘Pray’ for Trump, 79
THOUGHTS & PRAYERS
“Please pray for our president,” the governor wrote. ”He is not mentally well.”

Responding to an exchange Trump had with a reporter on Friday evening in which he claimed the results of his recent MRI were “outstanding” but that he had no idea what his doctors were actually analyzing, Newsom wrote on X, “Please pray for our President. He is not mentally well.”

One reporter asked why Trump needed the MRI, something officials in his administration have been reluctant to make public. He replied, “I have the physical every year and the result was outstanding… I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyze, they analyzed it well and they said that I had as good a result as they’ve ever seen.”

He also praised himself for his performance on the cognitive assessment he was required to take as part of his physical, telling reporters, “As you probably heard, I aced it. I got a perfect score. I got the highest score. I got a perfect score. And the only reason I tell you that is it’s one subject unlike Biden and others that you could take off your plate.”

I don't think he's losing sleep over Trump's "wellness."

By that point JD would have pushed his wife and kids into the camps and married ms. Widow leather pants.
