The Short but Hard Hitting Response Newsom Gave After Trump’s Nobel Rejection

California Governor Gavin Newsom consistently seizes opportunities to humorously critique former President Donald Trump. Recently, he delivered a sharp three-word retort in reaction to Time's announcement that Trump would not receive the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, despite his fervent campaigning for it. Trump had been touting his qualifications, asserting that no one deserved the honor more. Yet, when the results were revealed, social media erupted with memes and late-night show commentary mocking the absence of Trump's name.In response to Time’s post, Newsom quipped, “What a loser.” The Nobel Prize was awarded to Venezuelan democracy advocate María Corina Machado, who dedicated her award to Trump, acknowledging his critical support. This sparked outrage among Trump’s supporters, with some calling Newsom's comments tone-deaf. Amid this back-and-forth, Newsom humorously joined in the banter after a satirical report claimed he had won the Nobel for preventing conflict between California and Oregon. His playful mockery showcased the ongoing rivalry.
