California Governor Gavin Newsom sharply criticized former President Donald Trump, referring to him as a "son of a b-tch." The remark stemmed from Trump's decision to deploy National Guard troops to Los Angeles in June of an unspecified year. Newsom's strong language reflects the ongoing tension between California and the Trump administration during that period. The deployment of federal troops to California was met with resistance from state officials, who viewed it as an overreach of federal power and an unnecessary escalation of tensions.
