Gov Gavin Newsom mocked for calling Donald Trump 'damaged goods' and 'more unhinged' than ever

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA: Taking a swipe at former President Donald Trump, California Gov Gavin Newsom asserted that he is "more unhinged" than ever as the potential for a rematch between Trump and President Joe Biden looms in November, reported The Hill.

In a recent interview with MSNBC's Alex Wagner, the Democratic Governor claimed, "He can't be beaten in a primary, but in a general election a general election, I think he's the most flawed candidate in my lifetime."

"He is damaged goods," Newsom stated.

Claiming the Republican frontrunner is not as entertaining as before, the Governor added, "He's more unhinged than he ever was, more extreme, obviously more dangerous across the spectrum of issues."

Trump is leading the GOP primary polls with a clear majority. The landmark victories in the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary strengthened his possibility of becoming the GOP presidential nominee. 

Nikki Haley is the only remaining opponent to the ex-President after Ron DeSantis dropped out.

Gavin Newsom slams GOP lawmakers over border deal crisis

Newsom, in another interview with Wagner, criticized the Republican lawmakers for giving into Trump's agenda regarding the escalating crisis at the southern border of the country, as per reports by Mediaite.

Labeling the acts of the Republican Party and Trump as a "disgrace," the California Governor stated, "These guys are so weak. How … it's just so pathetically weak, this Republican Party."

Trump lately has been meddling in the emerging bipartisan border deal, actively lobbying the GOP Senators to kill it to prevent Biden's victory.

On the other hand, he has also ramped up the criticism against his successor on the worsening migrant crisis in the southern border. 

During a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, on January 27, the GOP frontrunner called out the incumbent for putting restraining orders on Texas Gov Greg Abbott's plan to install razor wires to prevent illegal migrant crossings.
