California Governor Gavin Newsom is taunting Trump, and everyone loves it, except the White House, MAGA, and Fox TV Hosts.
They’re going crazy because they’ve always been able to dish it out, but they’ve never been able to take it.
Governor Newsom has gone viral on social media, with his team mocking the all-caps rants that Donald Trump regularly posts, with broadsides like this in the wake of Trump’s failed summit last week with Vladimir Putin.
Newsom is also mimicking Trump’s endless stream of self-aggrandizing images created by artificial intelligence. In doing so, the Governor has broken through, gone viral, and ultimately shown the world that the emperor has no clothes.
Newsom is Also Playing Hardball
Yesterday, the Texas House of Representatives passed gerrymandered district maps to give the GOP five more congressional seats in the next midterm election, which President Trump claims “he deserves.”
In response, Newsom decided to ask California voters to temporarily redraw California districts to create five more seats for Democrats.
The Governor’s proposal passed the California legislature today and will be put to a vote in a November referendum for the electorate to decide.
He is Galvanizing a Weak and Weary Democratic Party
Simply by being willing to go on the offensive and play tough, Newsom has not only gone viral, he’s jumped to the head of the pack of Democratic Presidential candidates for 2028.
Here’s a sample of how non-MAGA Americans are responding online:
I AM A BIG FAN OF GAVIN NEWSOM. GREATEST FUTURE PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME. REALLY GREAT HAIR AND HANDS. I LOVE HIS BEAUTIFUL MAPS.
President Newsom. Joe shoulda stepped down. We could have started this party a year ago.
This is the most refreshing political news I've read in years.
GCN has succeeded in putting the defunct trump team on the defensive....BRAVO, Mr. Newsom, keep up the good work.
