Gavin Newsom has launched an extensive online trolling campaign that mirrors the bombastic, all-caps style associated with Donald Trump. He has posted AI-generated memes and sold MAGA-inspired merchandise such as red hats, Bibles, and “Make America Gavin Again” flags to amplify the mockery. The approach has provoked criticism from conservatives and some Democrats while winning attention from many liberals. Newsom frames the strategy as holding a mirror to political absurdity and aims to capture public interest as Democratic voters question the party's direction. He explained the origins and objectives of the tactic during a Pivot conversation with Kara Swisher.
When the Trump administration flooded the streets of Los Angeles with National Guard troops to quell minor protests, California governor Gavin Newsom put up vociferous opposition. When Texas passed an audacious mid-decade redistricting plan, Newsom spurred the California legislature to follow suit. Now Newsom is taking aim at the president with an extensive trolling campaign, often posting online in the bombastic, all-caps style of the president. Newsom's online antics have provoked the ire of those on the right - and even some in his party
Fox News has been melting down. Dana Perino said that if she were your wife, she'd tell you're making a fool of yourself. And while a lot of liberals are loving this, you have critics on the left who say the Democratic Party needs to do more than be an anti-Trump party. I disagree. I think this is highly effective, especially that you're not stopping.
