Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) poked fun at President Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying the president “needs to go” amid the War Department’s new changes regarding fitness.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a speech Tuesday focused on “fixing decades of decay” in the U.S. military, including the fitness of troops. Hegseth said it’s “completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals” in the Pentagon’s halls, and going forward, every service member will now be required to take bi-annual physical training tests.
