“The Daily Show” host Desi Lydic has a quick clarifying question for Donald Trump, and it all has to do with his latest nickname for California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“Do you mean New-scum or News-cum?” “The Daily Show” host asked on Wednesday night to the delight of her studio audience. The Comedy Central show then played its now-signature clip of Trump saying, “I’m going to come,” which the show has been using for its latest segment, “Trump 2.0: Coming for the White House.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump blamed “Newscum” for California’s ongoing wildfires. He said that Newsom mismanaged the state’s water in an effort to protect an endangered fish known as the smelt, a suggestion Trump has been making since at least 2018.
