Newsom Drops A Meme That Recasts Trump’s Own Claims As Prime-Time Ridicule

California Governor Gavin Newsom is not letting President Donald Trump, or his communication team, escape unscathed. Following Trump's embarrassing "piggy" incident that set social media ablaze, the White House engaged in damage control through Communications Director Steven Cheung’s optimistic tweet. However, this attempt backfired, and Newsom quickly seized the opportunity to turn it into a joke.The chaos began when Trump confronted Bloomberg correspondent Catherine Lucey aboard Air Force One, uttering the now-infamous phrase, “Quiet! Quiet piggy.” This moment went viral, intensifying when CBS reporter Jennifer Jacobs shared a clear audio clip.Cheung’s subsequent post claimed Trump was diligently working late. Newsom retaliated with a humorous AI-generated image portraying Trump asleep with pig hooves. This sparked internet hilarity, with many users reveling in the memes that followed, lampooning Trump's remarks and painting his actions in a grotesque light. Even Trump's supporters struggled to defend his behavior, leading to widespread criticism of his conduct and the White House's response.
