Trump labeled 'bully' as he slams Gavin Newsom’s order to clear homeless encampments after SCOTUS' ruling

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA: Former president Donald Trump blasted California Gov Gavin Newsom over his executive order to clear the homeless encampments in his state. The Republican presidential nominee resorted to his infamous name-calling tactic at the Democrat, dubbing him "Gavin Newscum" in a Truth Social post.

Newsom's order on Thursday, July 25, directed the state agencies to remove thousands of homeless makeshift encampments across the Golden State that cluttered the shopping center parking lots and city parks, as per Mediaite. Local authorities would have the final say in the order.

Earlier this summer, the US Supreme Court ruled permitting cities to implement bans on sleeping in public places as cities across the country suffered from surging numbers of people without a permanent living space.

Trump claims Gavin Newsom's order to remove homeless camps emerged from 'political reasons'

Trump linked Newsom's latest order to the polls as he redirected his attacks from President Joe Biden to Vice President Kamala Harris. The number two in power became the real estate mogul's likely opponent after the octogenarian stepped down from the 2024 race, endorsing his running mate for the Democratic ticket.

"Why didn't Gavin Newscum do this a long time ago? He's only doing it because, just like Crooked Joe Biden, his Radical Left Democrat Presidential Candidate, Lyin' Kamala Harris, is losing BIG in the Polls," the former president claimed on his Truth Social platform, posting a local news clip of the executive order.

"They just did it for Political Reasons, because she comes from California, and looks terrible. Right after the Election, it will go back to SLUM LIKE condition, unless we WIN — THEN, AMERICA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN!" Trump added.

However, Newsom, in the order statement, emphasized that last month's Supreme Court ruling in 'Grants Pass v Johnson' led to the decision to clear homeless encampments in the state, directing local governments to address the issue and provide those residing in makeshift homes with needed resources.

The Democrat was at the center of criticism over the skyrocketing homelessness crisis in California that alarmed prominent cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. In a video clip, Newsom admitted that addressing homelessness was the most urgent and frustrating.

"There are simply no more excuses. It's time for everyone to do their part," he said in the statement.
