In a statement that shocked the US political scene, California Governor Gavin Newsom has bluntly condemned the federal government for “deliberately concealing” the true health condition of former President Donald Trump during his mysterious six-day disappearance.
According to Newsom, Trump did not rest or receive normal treatment as he had previously announced. On the contrary, he suffered a stroke and was forced to recover in absolute secrecy. “This is not just a lack of transparency, this is a betrayal of the trust of the American people. The government withheld information that the entire country should have known. America was lied to,” Newsom asserted at an emergency press conference in Sacramento.
Leaked documents from MAGA insiders had previously raised questions about Trump’s “six days of silence,” when he did not participate in any official calls, public events or schedules. Now, with Newsom’s statement, those suspicions seem to have the strongest confirmation from a high-profile figure.
The biggest question now: Who was in charge during the six days Trump disappeared? Many analysts say that concealing the medical condition of a former president – and potential candidate – is not only a moral issue, but also a national security threat.
On social media, the hashtag #TrumpStrokeCoverUp exploded with millions of shares in just a few hours. The opposition considered it a “nail in the coffin” for Trump’s political reputation, while many of his supporters countered that Newsom was “politicizing an illness.”
Major media outlets have also joined in. CNN called it “one of the most serious medical-political accusations in modern history.” Meanwhile, Fox News asked: “Is there solid evidence, or is this just a carefully calculated political move?”
Whatever the final truth, Gavin Newsom’s accusations have sparked a new wave of controversy that has rocked the nation. And if true, the story of Trump’s six days of silence could become one of the biggest scandals of our time.
