Newsom Slams Trump Statue, Compares to Dictators

0:00On April 1st, California Governor Gavin Newsom fired shots at a proposed golden statue of Donald Trump meant for his presidential library. In a social media post on Tuesday, he likened the shiny design to monuments of authoritarian leaders were of wide. Eric Trump dropped the first look on Monday, sharing video renders of the library project in Miami, Florida. The footage shows an auditorium facing a massive gold Trump figure with his right fist raised high, calling it a testament to his dad as a developer, and president. Newsom's team paired images of the statue with ones of North Korea's Kim Il Sung, Turkmenistan's Sapar Marat Niazav and China's Mao Zedong noting, how familiar it all looks. Trump spokesman Davis Ingle hit back fast, labeling Newsom the worst and dumbest governor in America. Newsom's made these dictator comparisons before, posting about Trump as a wannabe strongland. With the library plans moving forward, expect more sparks flying in this feud.
