Gavin Newsom thinks voters are stupid. While President Trump is working to restore the reflecting pool on the National Mall, Newsom's Press Office account is trying to hoodwink voters into thinking the in-progress project is the final product, all in an effort to smear the President.

We're sorry he didn't blow billions on it like you would have, Gavin.

You're such a douchenozzle.

Obama did this: https://t.co/kI9OPHtNSW
But that's (D)ifferent.
When he meets Newscam’s record of decades to build an invisible train to nowhere, give us a holla.

(You really svck at this, btw. Little wonder no one would hire you in the private sector.) pic.twitter.com/lPBrhqRRmX
Someone got rich off the project though, so Newsom considers that a win.
As an expert on public works, how’s the high speed train going? pic.twitter.com/GQL1fBzoBW

Bang up job, Gavin.
Newsom has started doing this weird thing where he points to construction projects that are in progress and implies that the point at which the photo was taken is the project’s final form. He did it with the ballroom, too. It may explain a lot about his record on high-speed rail. https://t.co/fKqlwB6Wmb

The folks behind the Newsom Press Office are just as fundamentally dishonest as their boss.
Maybe he can do your state next. https://t.co/AbxnZtNhuu pic.twitter.com/X3U8kbOh2L

That's what $24 billion in homeless funding does for you.
Do you understand how masking works during painting? https://t.co/9ZtDYjPN13

There are many things Newsom does not understand.
This job is in progress and will be completed in several weeks.

Now let's talk about your train https://t.co/R7StiROBV0
That train has been going on since before this writer was a mother. It will never be finished.
Can't wait for this project to turn out fine and then every lib moaning about it will pretend they never cared about it at all. https://t.co/mAhweEP8mU

They'll just delete posts and pretend it never happened.
FYI, for the first time in 27 years of living here, DC's many fountains appear to be working. It's quite notably safer than it was before Trump took office. Newsom has unintentionally highlighted Trump is fixing things.

This is attack is too stupid to even rise to ragebait. https://t.co/PLHNT4kADC
As we learned in California, Democrats believe clean, safe, and well-functioning cities are 'white supremacy.'
Look, I consistently think the White House's plans are dumb, but you've got a half-finished(?) high speed rail project that cost nearly double what we paid to send people to the literal moon. https://t.co/p8QIMhORH2

Newsom is very, very bad at this.
This is a lame attack, but it's the best Newsom and his team can muster. California is a dumpster fire, and they want to take those policies national.
