In a tweet this morning, President Trump had some harsh words to say about Nancy Pelosi’s district in California as well as the progressive leadership of the state:
Nancy Pelosi’s District in California has rapidly become one of the worst anywhere in the U.S. when it come to the homeless & crime. It has gotten so bad, so fast – she has lost total control and, along with her equally incompetent governor, Gavin Newsom, it is a very sad sight!

California Gov. Gavin Newsom didn’t take well to that criticism, and immediately disputed everything Trump claimed. Oh, wait — no he didn’t. Instead Newsom compared Trump to a scene in the Jim Carrey movie version of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”:
I imagine Trump’s Christmas to be like that scene when the Grinch yells “I’m an idiot!” and his echo yells back “you’re an idiot!!” https://t.co/zntn5LcrFD

Does there seem to be a bit of deflection in that tweet?
But note how he doesn’t dispute what Trump is saying…

Are you upset that he's telling the truth about you and Pelosi being failures and helping to destroy San Francisco and California?

Over the last decade, the number of homeless in America declined 10%; in California, it grew 22%.
And yet “resistance to dealing with it remains endemic among ruling Democrats & in nominally progressive cities”https://t.co/doEI9gITXB

Newsom recently claimed that California was “leaving Trump in the dust.”
