On March 16, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump held a news conference in which he insulted California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has long been a vocal critic of the president.

Jimmy Kimmel found it absurd that President Trump, of all people, would attack California Governor Gavin Newsom for having a learning disability.

Newsom didn’t hesitate to fire back at the president, slamming Trump for mistakenly referring to him as “president of the United States.”
