California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office clapped back at President Trump after an overnight Truth Social barrage, mocking his late-night posting spree and pushing back on multiple false claims.
The account noted Trump posted 56 times in 60 minutes, including claims that Walmart is closing 85% of its California stores and an AI-generated video accusing Newsom of drug-money laundering.
The response was blunt: All 303 Walmart stores in California remain open, and the AI video is fake.
“We can’t believe we have to say this out loud… and we truly can’t believe this man has the nuclear codes. Deep breaths. Three more years.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office sharply rebuked President Donald Trump after a late-night barrage of posts on Truth Social, accusing him of spreading false information and misinformation.
In a statement posted online, Newsom’s team noted that Trump published 56 posts in roughly 60 minutes overnight, including claims that Walmart was shutting down 85 percent of its California stores and an AI-generated video alleging the governor was involved in drug-money laundering.
The governor’s office flatly denied both claims, calling them false and misleading. Officials said all 303 Walmart stores in California remain open and confirmed the circulating video was fabricated using artificial intelligence.
The response took a mocking tone, highlighting the frequency and timing of the former president’s posts. “We can’t believe we have to say this out loud… and we truly can’t believe this man has the nuclear codes,” the statement read, adding, “Deep breaths. Three more years.”
The exchange underscores the increasingly combative relationship between Newsom and Trump, as well as growing concerns about the spread of misinformation amplified through social media.
