It took Newsom, a likely contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, less than an hour to respond to Trump’s on-air rant.
The social media-savvy governor posted a screenshot of a chat with AI bot Grok, in which he asked, “Do people with dementia repeat false things over and over again?”
“Yes, people with dementia frequently repeat false statements, questions, or stories over and over. This is a common symptom known as perseveration or repetitive speech/behavior, and it often involves inaccurate or fabricated information (sometimes called confabulation),” replied Grok, which is developed by Elon Musk’s xAI company.
In his escalating feud with the president, Newsom has returned again and again to the claim that Trump is showing signs of dementia amid the president’s frequent mental gaffes.
When Trump claimed that California’s response to the Los Angeles wildfires was hobbled by its refusal to let water come in from the Pacific Northwest—even though that doesn’t connect to the state’s water systems—he similarly used an AI search query to suggest the aging president has dementia.
After Trump wrote then quickly deleted a post on Truth Social that read “South Carerdddd,” Newsom commented on X, “The extra ds stand for dementia.”

Does anyone else remember when DJT tweeted out “covfefe” at an absurd hour? A made up word. No apparent reason.
Well, that was several years ago.
Even using just that as a baseline; the social media posts have definitely been more bombastic and frequent. Speech patterns have regressed. Showing severe signs of fatigue at recent public events.
It is fairly obvious to see the cognitive decline, even where there wasn’t much cognition to begin with.

It’s not a claim if it’s true.

As if he is the only person who sees how dementia’d Trump is. I’m having flashbacks to Reagan. Only, Reagan had functioning adults around him who only took advantage of him for Iran/Contra. Meanwhile, here in 2025, Trump’s people are getting him to do all kinds of crazy sh!t. The list is literally too long!

We are fucking boned that the dnc is finally allowing one of their caucus to do populist rhetoric and it’s an evil lizard like newsome who is possibly the most bought out by tech billionaires man that exists.
