Newsom lists 'the acts of a dictator,' shares video of Trump [View all]

NBC

In a bulleted list on X, Newsom named "the acts of a dictator" and reshared a video of Trump telling reporters today that officials will face charges “if they stand in the way of law and order.”

The list included "inciting and provoking violence," "creating mass chaos," "militarizing cities" and "arresting opponents."

"These are the acts of a dictator, not a President," Newsom wrote.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
