Game On: Newsom's Epic Clapback Leaves Trump Jr. Speechless and Regretful

California Governor Gavin Newsom's communications team ignited a political uproar this week by playfully mocking former President Donald Trump with an AI-created image. The incident escalated when Trump's son attempted to retaliate but was swiftly outmaneuvered.The controversy started when Newsom's office swapped its profile picture on X for a manipulated image featuring Trump's face merged with that of Marie Antoinette, adorned in 18th-century attire. The caption read: “NEW PROFILE PIC! In honor of our Queen!”Earlier, Newsom's team had targeted Trump’s $200 million expansion of the White House, funded by corporate donors. They pointedly remarked, “TRUMP ‘MARIE ANTOINETTE’ SAYS, ‘NO HEALTH CARE FOR YOU PEASANTS, BUT A BALLROOM FOR THE QUEEN!’”In response to Trump Jr.'s snarky comment regarding gender dress, Newsom’s team quickly circulated images of prominent conservatives in drag, underscoring the mockery's intensity. The record-breaking social media engagement reflected a shift in the political dialogue, prompting vigorous debates surrounding the decorum of public officials in a polarized digital landscape.
