DID Press: California Governor Gavin Newsom, a leading Democratic contender for the 2028 presidential race, sharply criticized former President Donald Trump’s recent comments on rising oil prices.
Trump had posted on X, noting that the US is the world’s largest oil producer and implying that higher oil prices translate into significant profits for the country.
Newsom responded with pointed sarcasm: “Don’t worry, America! Your oil prices are rising — but Trump is making a lot of money. So everything is fine.”
The governor accused Trump of ignoring the economic pressures that soaring energy costs place on everyday Americans, highlighting growing tensions over the political discourse surrounding energy policy.
