The X comments - particularly the absolute deluge of maga folks completely missing the joke and accusing him of ripping off Trump’s merchandise - is absolutely the best part of this whole thing.
If that group had any capacity for introspection we wouldnt be here.
MAGA isn’t bringing their finest.
The absolute nothing coming out of the Democrats in power is so deafening that even such a troll from such an imperfect candidate feels like the straw at which we must grab.
You bet a boatload of people are waiting for Newsom to get away with it to start resisting themselves.
Newsom is capable of stunts, but what’s he actually doing that helps anyone but corporations?
I sense that Newsom’s trolling sends the message that Trump’s not anyone special. The felon’s only unique ability is to lie and boast without a single ounce of humility.
When he puts out this stuff sarcastically, it immediately makes all of Trump’s antics almost identically as corny as Newsom’s satirical versions.
lol, the testimonial in the product description.
I sure am happy that a Democrat can be a petulant child on the internet, too. This is the helpful political discourse we all need.
I genuinely believe if a dozen other people trolled Trump this hard he would have a stress induced stroke or heart attack.
We definitely need more of this to move the needle in that direction.
This is a theory that needs to be tested.
I think the most damaging thing someone could tell Trump is that nobody he’s surrounded himself with actually thinks he’s smart, successful, or charismatic. That they’re lying through their teeth when they say all these great things about him. That they all mock him behind his back, that they think he’s stupid and they’re all looking to use him for their own ends.
We know his narcissism, we know he hangs on the words of the last person he talked to, and best of all, all that is probably far more true than it is false.
He’d be deranged beyond measure, like that methed-up moustache man in Berlin towards the end.
I think the stress inducers are JD Vance and Peter Thiel want him dead and the Epstien girl that looked like Ivanka.
I think it’s more likely he has a pacemaker with a defibrillator. Stroke is still on the table.
He’s calling attention to the fact that people are normalizing Trump’s behavior. I’m ok with that.
Also, look at his Bsky feed. Those posts are clearly from a sane person.
Newsom doing BlueMAGA and Dems eating it up is out there with those “I’m a Palestinian. I’m worried I might not survive the night. Please vote for Kamala Harris in 2024” shitposts I saw at the height of the Gaza Genocide.
Just really ghoulish, slimy stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever been this pessimistic about the fate of the country. It’s like a corn field during locust season.
Keep the trollin’ rollin’, man!
He’s throwing things out there to see what gains traction. The “real patriot” red hats are great, but likely too much of a threat to personal well-being to be worn.
