Newsom blasts Trump over Iran strikes: ‘Weakness masquerading as strength’
California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Donald Trump for ordering strikes on Iran, accusing him of acting without explaining an immediate crisis or rationale.

Speaking to a San Francisco audience, Newsom argued that the former president’s actions reveal “weakness masquerading as strength,” suggesting the move was not justified by a clear threat.

Newsom urged accountability and questioned whether the administration had a coherent plan or exit strategy, emphasizing the need for clear justification behind military actions.
