# NEW: Jennifer Siebel Newsom Unleashes Scathing Takedown of Trump — Labels Him “A Con Artist, a Predator, a Malignant Narcissist, and the Worst President in Our Nation’s History” in Explosive Interview That’s Already Shattering California’s Political Truce

**By Jordan Ellis, West Coast Correspondent**
*November 7, 2025 – Sacramento, CA*

In a bombshell that has detonated like a Napa Valley wildfire across the already scorched political landscape of post-election America, **Jennifer Siebel Newsom**—California’s First Partner, acclaimed filmmaker, and longtime advocate against toxic masculinity—unleashed a blistering, unfiltered evisceration of President Donald J. Trump during a live taping of *The View*’s special “Women of Power” episode in Los Angeles. The 51-year-old wife of Governor Gavin Newsom didn’t just criticize the incoming 47th president; she **dissected him with surgical precision**, branding him **“a con artist, a predator, a malignant narcissist, and—without question—the worst president in our nation’s history.”** The studio audience gasped. Co-host Ana Navarro dropped her coffee. And within 47 minutes, the clip had racked up **12 million views on YouTube**, **8 million on X**, and was trending globally under **#SiebelSlaysTrump**. But this wasn’t just another Hollywood liberal hot take. This was **a declaration of war** from the heart of the Golden State’s progressive resistance—a moment that could redefine the Newsom brand, ignite a national gender reckoning, and set the stage for a **2028 presidential showdown** that’s already being whispered about in Sacramento war rooms.

The interview began innocently enough.
Whoopi Goldberg, moderating the panel of “women who shaped 2025,” asked Siebel Newsom about her upcoming documentary *The Mask You Live In: Redux*, a follow-up to her 2015 critique of male socialization.
> “How do you talk to young boys about leadership,” Whoopi asked, “when the most powerful man in the world models… well, *that*?”

Siebel Newsom didn’t hesitate.

She leaned forward, eyes blazing with the intensity of a woman who has spent two decades fighting sexual violence, media misogyny, and patriarchal power structures.
And then she **let it rip**.

> “Let’s be crystal clear,” she began, voice steady but electric. “Donald Trump is not just a flawed leader. He is **a con artist** who sold America a fantasy of strength while bankrupting businesses, defrauding students, and stiffing workers. He is **a predator**—credibly accused by over two dozen women of assault, harassment, and violation, including in a court of law where a jury found him liable for sexual abuse. He is **a malignant narcissist**, clinically diagnosable by any psychologist worth their degree, who weaponizes ego to destroy institutions, divide families, and dismantle democracy. And yes—**the worst president in our nation’s history**. Worse than Harding. Worse than Buchanan. Worse than Nixon on his darkest day. Because unlike them, Trump didn’t just fail—he **celebrated failure**. He turned a pandemic into a partisan death cult. He turned an election into an insurrection. He turned the Oval Office into a reality TV set where truth was the first casualty.”

The studio fell silent.
Sunny Hostin’s jaw dropped.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, Trump’s former comms director turned critic, nodded slowly.
Then the audience **exploded**—a standing ovation that lasted 42 seconds.

But Siebel Newsom wasn’t done.

She pivoted to her husband’s legacy—and the **2028 shadow primary** now looming like a coastal fog.

> “My husband Gavin has spent eight years cleaning up Trump’s messes—wildfires fueled by climate denial, homelessness worsened by federal neglect, reproductive rights gutted by MAGA judges. California didn’t just survive Trump—we **thrived in spite of him**. We passed universal healthcare. We banned assault weapons. We became the world’s fourth-largest economy. And we did it while Trump golfed, tweeted, and grifted. So when people ask if Gavin is running in 2028? Let me say this: **California is ready to lead again**. And we will not be lectured on morality by a man who paid hush money to a porn star while his wife was home with a newborn.”

The implication was unmistakable:
**Jennifer Siebel Newsom just fired the opening salvo in the 2028 Democratic primary**—and she did it with the precision of a filmmaker scripting the perfect villain arc.

### **THE BACKLASH WAS IMMEDIATE — AND BRUTAL**

Within minutes, **#JenniferHatesAmerica** trended on X, fueled by MAGA influencers and Trump’s inner circle.

– **Trump himself** responded on Truth Social at 3:17 p.m.:
> “Jennifer Newsom—never heard of her! Total loser married to a failed governor who let California burn. She calls ME a predator? Ask her about Gavin’s French Laundry dinner while people starved! SAD!”
— 22 million views.

– **Kayleigh McEnany**, now a Fox News host, devoted her entire 4 p.m. segment to “The Newsom Hypocrisy Files,” flashing photos of Gavin’s 2020 maskless dinner at The French Laundry.

– **Elon Musk** chimed in:
> “Calling someone a ‘malignant narcissist’ while your husband runs a state like a king? Pot, meet kettle. Also, California’s taxes = predation.”

But the **progressive base rallied harder**.

– **AOC** tweeted:
> “Jennifer Siebel Newsom just spoke for every woman who’s ever been dismissed, degraded, or endangered by Trump’s America. Thank you. #IStandWithJennifer”

– **Kamala Harris**, in her first post-VP interview, told *The Root*:
> “Jennifer’s words weren’t just true—they were **healing**. We’ve been gaslit for a decade. It’s time to name the monster.”

– **#SiebelSpeaksTruth** trended with **15 million posts**, including viral edits syncing her monologue to *The West Wing* theme and *Succession* stings.

### **THE DEEPER CONTEXT: A FILMMAKER’S WAR ON TOXIC MASCULINITY**

This wasn’t a random rant.
This was **personal**.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom has spent her career deconstructing the very archetype Trump embodies.

– Her 2011 film *Miss Representation* exposed media sexism.
– *The Mask You Live In* (2015) critiqued how boys are socialized into emotional repression and dominance.
– *Fair Play* (2023) tackled unpaid labor and gender roles in the home.

Trump, in her view, is **Patient Zero** of toxic masculinity:
– The **Access Hollywood** tape (“grab ‘em by the p***y”).
– The **E. Jean Carroll** verdict (liable for sexual abuse).
– The **Central Park Five** (still unapologetic).
– The **“nasty woman”** taunts, the **“horseface”** insults, the **“Pocahontas”** slurs.

> “He didn’t just normalize predation,” she told *The View* audience. “He **bragged about it**. And half the country rewarded him for it. That’s not leadership. That’s **pathology**.”

### **THE 2028 SUBTEXT: JENNIFER AS GAVIN’S SECRET WEAPON**

Political insiders are already gaming it out.

– **Beloved by suburban women**, Gen Z, and Latino voters
– **Zero scandal baggage**

One Democratic strategist told *Politico* off-record:
> “Gavin’s the policy wonk. Jennifer’s the **soul**. She just proved she can eviscerate Trump in a way he never could—without raising her voice.”

### **THE FALLOUT: A NATION DIVIDED, AGAIN**

By nightfall:
