Gavin Newsom Just Rattled Donald Trump Jr.

California Governor Gavin Newsom's social media team sparked a political uproar this week by mocking former President Donald Trump with an AI-generated image. This led to an exchange where Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., attempted to retort but was swiftly countered.On Wednesday, Newsom’s press team altered its profile picture on X, featuring a composite of Trump’s face fused with Marie Antoinette, clad in 18th-century attire, captioned, “NEW PROFILE PIC! In honor of our Queen!” This image riffed on Trump's controversial $200 million expansion of the White House ballroom during a government shutdown.The conservative backlash intensified after Trump Jr.'s questionable comment. Newsom’s office retaliated by sharing images of conservatives in drag, highlighting their own themes of irony. Commenters praised Newsom's sharp responses, indicating that he outclassed Trump Jr. in witty exchanges. Despite discontent from Trump supporters, Newsom remained unabashed, continuing to emphasize the disconnect between elites and constituents.
