California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s social media account mimicking Donald Trump’s all-caps online posts is getting under the skin of prominent conservatives on the right.
The reaction to Newsom’s pitch-perfect parody of Trump — including his wild rants, name-calling, and use of AI-generated images — is shining a light on the absurd behavior of the president of the United States, who has largely gotten a pass from his party for doing the same thing.
“You have to stop it with the Twitter thing,” Fox News host Dana Perino said Monday of the potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender. “If I were his wife, I would say: You are making a fool of yourself, stop it. … He’s got a big job as governor of California, but if he wants an even bigger job, he has to be a little more serious.”

I'm sure a lot of politicians would like to do what Trump does on social media. But they don't work for any politician besides Trump. Good luck sticking the landing, Gavin.

I doubt that it is “infuriating” the Right.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Media fantasy. And they quote Dana Purina? She is NOT “the Right”!

The thing about Trump is you can tell his stuff is effortless. He can just put out a stream of consciousness and you know it is not pre-written or even well thought out to be “clever.” It just is.
Whenever I see someone trying to emulate him, it just seems forced. They try too hard to be “edgy” and “too clever by half.” It’s not infuriating. It’s pathetic.
To: nickcarraway
LOL. No, not infuriating. We’d have to actually care first.

Exactly. He’s a buffoon and a bombast. I don’t really care what he says, or how he says it.
Don’t know much about the author, but I bet he’s not part of ‘the Right.’

It’s not possible that gavin-boy is sounding like Trump. It’s not in his DNA. Besides, if he meant it, aunt nancy would make sure his inheritance was revoked.
