Gavin Newsom grilled Donald Trump over a massive spike in oil prices — and suggested it goes against the president's tough stance on economic success.
The governor of California's team made several X posts mocking Trump and his administration over the weekend. Ongoing strikes against Iran affected the price of oil, which has since surpassed $100 a barrel, per the Associated Press. This spike in crude oil has since been mocked by Governor Newsom, with a series of posts highlighting the economic trouble.
One post reads, "What part of the Trump Golden Era of affordability plan is this?" Another reads, "We already have long TSA lines because of Donald Trump. Are Trump gas lines coming soon, too?"
A third post suggested Trump needed a distraction from the turmoil of his administration, and that a spike in oil prices would do just that. On February 7, the account posted, "Trump needs a distraction. Things aren't going well for him. Which country is he going to bomb or take over next?" The X account has since quoted the February 7 post and added, "The answer was Iran."
