Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, has publicly criticized former President Donald Trump, labeling him the “worst president in our nation’s history.” In a resurfaced statement circulating online, Siebel Newsom stated she would not raise her children to view Trump as an acceptable American leader, arguing against his values. This critique comes amid ongoing political polarization, with Trump remaining a prominent figure in the Republican party, potentially influencing future elections.
Siebel Newsom’s remarks highlight the deep divisions surrounding Trump’s legacy, particularly his approach to leadership, which she characterized as relying on “terror” and equating “greed” with success. While opinions on Trump’s presidency remain sharply divided, research from Pew Research Center consistently shows stark partisan divides in approval ratings and perceptions of his policies, further demonstrating the continuing impact of his presidency on American society and the ongoing debate surrounding his values.
