They spoke early Saturday morning, a conversation in which Mr. Trump has said he brought up the National Guard. (Mr. Newsom said that was false, calling the president a “stone-cold liar.”)
But Mr. Trump then told reporters he called Mr. Newsom a second time, on Monday, to admonish him. Mr. Newsom says a Monday call never happened.
The president “starts making up all these things he claimed he told me about, which honestly starts to disturb me on a different level,” Mr. Newsom said. “Maybe he actually believed he said those things, and he’s not all there. I mean that.”
Mr. Newsom added: “He claimed he had another conversation with me. So there’s something going on here.”
