How Gavin Trumped Trump with a Merciless Remark That Hit Hard

The ongoing U.S. government shutdown is adversely affecting countless federal employees and essential services. Amidst the political blame game between Democrats and Republicans, one project that remains unaffected is the construction of President Donald Trump’s extravagant ballroom at the White House. California Governor Gavin Newsom aptly highlighted this absurdity by sharing a viral meme portraying Trump as the ill-fated French monarch Marie Antoinette. The post, features an AI-generated image of Trump adorned in 18th-century attire, humorously captioned with “NO HEALTH CARE FOR YOU PEASANTS, BUT A BALLROOM FOR THE QUEEN!” Newsom’s team intensified the satire, even adopting the meme as their avatar for nearly a day, evoking widespread amusement across social media. While many relished the humor, Trump’s supporters expressed outrage, labeling the post a “serious threat.” Despite the comedic frenzy, the shutdown poses serious ramifications, with federal employees, including essential workers, facing paycheck delays, while Congress members, including Trump, continue to receive salaries.
