Newsom's trolling of Trump attracts attention to complicated redistricting fight
Briefly

Gov. Gavin Newsom adopted a deliberate imitation of President Trump’s social media style to taunt Trump around a redistricting campaign launch. Press office posts used all caps, MAGA phrasing, threats, and personal praise while promising California would redraw maps if cheating continued. Social metrics show about 250,000 new followers since Aug. 1, an engagement rate above 50% and more than 1.5 million profile visits. The approach leverages brash, entertaining, and shocking content to capture attention from otherwise indifferent audiences. The strategy prompted direct pushback from Trump and increased public visibility for the redistricting issue.
Final warning Donald Trump - maybe the most important warning in history! Stop cheating or California will redraw the maps. And guess who will announce it this week? Gavin Newsom (many say the most loved & handsome governor).
