Maher commends Newsom for strategy to ‘out-stupid’ Trump
The Hill ^ | 8/23/25 | Filip Timotija

Posted on 08/24/2025 4:46:28 AM PDT by DallasBiff

“Gavin Newsom is now trolling Trump. I’ve never seen a Democrat do this. I think it’s very funny… he’s imitating Trump’s exact style,” Maher said Friday during his “Real Time With Bill Maher” show.

“This is Newsom: ‘And he will fail as he always does, sad. And I, the peacetime governor, our nation’s favorite, will save America once again. Many are calling me the, you know, Gavin Newsom, many say the most loved and handsome governor,’” Maher added, reading a post Newsom made on X.

Newsom and his communications team have tried to mimic Trump’s rhetoric and social media persona in recent days, writing social media posts in all caps and borrowing some words the president uses, like “beautiful.”

Libs will never get it, just like Reagan, Trump is a real person and does not need a "communications" team.

So, is this another example of “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”

Maher, the arm chair sniper, who has never done anything positive or helpful for the country, maligning pres Trunp who’s she’s Maher couldn’t ever hope to fill.

Hey Bill, how many billions do you have? Ever built anything substantial for the nation? Ever stopped any wars? Ever dropped prices across the natio. So poor people can afford to live again. No? Didn’t think so!

If it was about out-stupiding your opponent Kamala would be President. These guys are so desperate. They are up against as PR genius and all they can think to do is copy him and pretend it’s “trolling”. Sad.

Maher can say anything he wants about Newsom imitating Trump or whatever, but by now, Newsom is out there showing the whole world what he really is.

Always the same thing from our friends on the Left. The voters are stupid for not voting for us, Conservatives are stupid for not agree with us.

Of course, we are all Hitler too.

Newsom is their great white hope. He is indicative of what the Dems think of the electorate. They believe if they present a normal looking white guy they will win AUTOMATICALLY.

Trump is genuine. He is who you see to the core.

Gruesome is a hollow entity. There is no there there beneath that greasy hair.

This may be the most childish thing I’ve ever seen.

Newsom is mirroring Trump. It’s what narcissists and sociopaths do.

That’s true. He and Ann Coulter were an item at one time. Then you have to ask yourself which one is “stupid-er”.

Gavin Newsom is one of the least innovative and most unoriginal thinkers out there. Child of privilege, he was protected from the rigors of life much too long, and has a sense of entitlement that is magnificent in terms of its size alone. He has already risen beyond the limits of his capabilities, through undeserved promotions, an overly solicitous coterie of dewy-eyed media people and political hucksters that have oversold his good looks for something like competency.

Copying someone is not leadership. The guy is the opposite of Trump who made himself a billionaire in NYC rather than nepotism from aunt Pelosi.

Trump first and foremost is a builder.

Secondly, he is marketer and knows more about branding and the media than anyone who has ever graced the national stage.

Lastly he is a salesman and he has a spiel and a method to his “madness”.

Trump would not have been successful over the decade he has been on the national political stage if he not had delivered with accomplishments.

Want to copy Trump.

Don’t even bother to copy his style before you build something.

Newsom and the Democrats are neither builders nor producers, they are the opposite of Trump.

The destroy and consume what decent hard working folk have spent their lives producing.

Words will get you attention, but it is deeds which you get trust.

And a popular MAJORITY trusted Trump in 2024.

NO ONE with a working brain will ever TRUST Newsome nor will they ever take Maher with anything more than a grain of salt.

Its funny how the media is trying so hard to pump up Newsome. His state is a wreck and he is a failure. He doesnt have the ability to troll Trump. He can only hope to keep up.
