California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) knocked President Trump’s weight Tuesday after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared he no longer wanted to see “fat generals” in the military.
“I guess the Commander in Chief needs to go!” Newsom said in a post on the social platform X, responding to a clip of Hegseth’s speech at Quantico, Va.
The post included an unflattering photo of the president from a campaign stop last October at McDonald’s.
A subsequent post from the governor’s press office account took another jab at the president’s weight, this time including an AI-generated photo of Trump holding two McDonald’s Big Mac cheeseburgers as drones deliver bags of fast food to the president, who is uncharacteristically wearing a gray t-shirt.
“IT’S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO SEE A FAT COMMANDER IN CHIEF IN THE HALLS OF THE WHITE HOUSE!” the post read.
