It’s Trump by style. Trump by syntax. Trump by self absorption. But it ain’t Trump.
In the last 96 hours this potential presidential candidate has called himself AMERICAS MOST FAVOURITE GOVERNOR. He’s lashed out at Fox News anchors DANA “DING DONG’ PERINO, and GREG “GARBAGEMAN” GUTFELD and THANKED a (California based) opinion poll that rates California the MOST FUN STATE.
When Trump’s special envoy Richard Grenell ordered Newsom to “stop making fun of working class people – Elitism is so ugly”, Newsom responded with a photo of Trump in his all-gold apartment – and a tagline that repeated “elitism is so ugly”.
Newsom’s delighted response to this was: “Triggered. Weak. SAD!”
And for all those who want to judge if it’s gone too far, check out the post by regular creator of US political memes, @PaulleyTicks – a photoshop of that defiant tableau after the assassination attempt on Trump’s life. This one shows a bloodied Newsom laughing with his security detail whilst holding up a bottle of tomato ketchup.
Well, now Gavin Newsom's gone waaaaaay too far pic.twitter.com/hsSU5vY8jw
— PaulleyTicks (@PaulleyTicks) August 18, 2025Do you have to start sounding like Trump – even in jest – to compete with him? The chin strokers of the party will call it satire and say Newsom is merely “holding up a mirror to Maga to show Republicans what they’ve come to tolerate”.
Newsom is pulling the algorithm to his favour, and getting his supporters – through their own parodies and photoshops to do the rest of the work for him.
Michelle Obama famously told her party to appeal to their better angels, urging Hillary Clinton supporters ahead of the 2016 election that “when they go low, we go high”. The rallying cry was well intentioned. And wrong. Trump won the election by appealing to much baser instincts. And the shock tactic sent him viral.

When students were being told to “buddy up” on campus and take ID everywhere they went, in case they were snatched off the street, the Dems were largely silent, terrified of picking a fight that would put them on the wrong side of an immigration debate. There is no right side to illegal deportation. It doesn’t happen in sound democracies.
Newsom is one of the few Democrats who’s vocally shaking the party out of its stupor. His content may be playful – provocative. But the message is fierce.
