Governor Gavin Newsom claimed Trump is making up conversations about L.A. riots response while tensions escalate over deployment of National Guard and Marines in California.

The public fight between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump keeps intensifying, with name calling, insults and accusations traded over television and social media networks.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom won praise on Wednesday for his speech Tuesday night seen by a national audience, something many Democrats saw as a shot across the bow to President Donald Trump that they can fight Trump -- and one that sparked new talk of Newsom as the party's standard-bearer in 2028.

The California governor and Republican president have clashed over troop deployments to quell the Los Angeles riots.

An escalating clash pits a Republican president looking to fulfill his mass deportation goals against a Democratic governor with White House aspirations hoping to mobilize opposition.

President Donald Trump said the show of force in Los Angeles should serve as a warning that similar demonstrations in other places would not be tolerated.

"Come and get me, tough guy. I don't give a damn," Newsom said after saying border czar Tom Homan had threatened to arrest him for speaking out on ICE raids.

Newsom's 2028 presidential aspirations hang in the balance as the eyes of the nation are on California's clash with immigration authorities.
