Newsom Trolls Trump’s Physique After Hegseth’s “Fat Generals” Remark
California Governor Gavin Newsom responded to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s new policy requiring physical fitness tests for military personnel, which would include height and weight requirements. Newsom took to social media to criticize the policy, using it as an opportunity to mock President Donald Trump’s physique. Newsom posted a photo of Trump and a satirical image from his press office, implying the president’s weight would disqualify him under the new military standards. The governor’s posts, including a reference to Trump’s fondness for fast food, quickly gained traction and highlighted the president’s reported height and weight discrepancies.
