California's First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom Unleashes Scathing Attack on Trump: 'A Con Artist, a Predator, a Malignant Narcissist'

Siebel Newsom's remarks came during a press conference in November 2025 promoting Proposition 50, a measure related to California's parental leave policies, but have resurfaced and gone viral as speculation intensifies that her husband may launch a 2028 presidential bid . In the speech, she made clear that she would not allow her children to view Trump as an acceptable role model, a decision she framed as a core family value.

'I Will Not Raise My Children to Think This Is Acceptable'

"I will not raise my children to think Donald Trump is an acceptable American leader," Siebel Newsom declared to applause, according to video footage of the event . "Nor that he is what the leader of our great country should behave like. I won't raise them to think his terror enables his power and that his greed equals success. He is the exact opposite of what real strength looks like" .

She continued her assault by accusing Trump of enriching his family and cronies while undermining American democracy. "He is stripping away our rights and our democracy. When he knows he's gonna lose, he cheats. When the game isn't rigged for him, he rigs it himself," she said . "Sometimes no is a full sentence — trust me — but Donald Trump's never accepted no for an answer" .

The Takedown That Went Viral

The speech culminated in a series of insults that have since been shared millions of times across social media platforms. "He's a con artist, a predator, a malignant Narcissist-in-Chief, and the worst president in our nation's history," Siebel Newsom said .

She contrasted Trump's behavior with the values she and Governor Newsom are teaching their four children: acceptance, standing up to bullies, and always telling the truth. "If Donald Trump's parents had taught him any of these lessons, we wouldn't be in this mess," she added .

Political Context and Reactions

The remarks have drawn a sharp divide in public reaction. Supporters praised her for speaking forcefully against what they view as Trump's dangerous leadership, with one user commenting that she "nails it" and that Trump's "malignant narcissism isn't a bug, it's his entire operating system" .

However, Trump supporters quickly pushed back, dismissing her comments as politically motivated attacks. One critic called her "the most despicable woke wife of the most corrupt criminal and fraudulent governor ever," while others attacked both her and her husband's character .

A Broader Narrative

Siebel Newsom's attack aligns with a growing chorus of critics who have labeled Trump the worst president in American history. Academic rankings have supported this view: in 2024, Trump was ranked last in the Presidential Greatness Project survey . Historians and political scientists have pointed to his subversion of national security, handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and actions surrounding January 6 as evidence of his unique failure .

The White House itself has engaged in similar rhetoric, recently installing plaques beneath presidential portraits in the West Wing that describe President Joe Biden as "by far, the worst President in American History" . The plaque, which Trump reportedly helped write, claims Biden took office "as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States" .

What's Next

As the 2026 midterm elections approach and Governor Newsom's name continues to circulate in 2028 presidential speculation, Jennifer Siebel Newsom's viral speech is likely to remain a flashpoint in the ongoing political war of words . Her comments, whether seen as a principled stand or a calculated political attack, have ensured she remains a prominent voice in the resistance to Trump's political legacy.
