California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently shook up his communications team, and now the outspoken Democrat is turning many of Donald Trump's brash political tactics against the president himself.
Newsom and his team have used online trolling, meme wars, mocking TikTok videos, insults such as "****," and even a lawsuit against a media company — in this case, one accusing Fox News of misleading reporting — to create an edgy resistance.

You can't out troll Trump.
The guy went through hell last year including a near assassination and close to a 100 indictments..
But he was tough long before that.
To: MinorityRepublican
He can not campaign nationally on his own California record.
There is no national vision. Trump owns him. That’s all he has.

It could be AOC & him in the Dem primary finals in ‘28.

yes, Newsom is doing that krap to PDJT
but it sure doesn’t help him politically (aside from his 8 or 10 percent core constituency which he will always have anyway)
and it sure ain’t gonna help the state, that’s for sure!

He trolls like a progressive. Not humorous and makes no sense.
