And the web can’t assist however applaud the technique.

So how is Newsom “tweeting” like Trump?

Before abandoning X (then Twitter) for his personal social media platform, Truth Social, Trump was notorious for his all-caps and insulting tweets to democratic politicians.

Now, Newsom is using the same strategy on X to push again in opposition to Texas’s current try to vary voting districts mid-decade—departing from the standard custom of updating them each 10 years with the brand new census. According to The Hill, blue states like California, New York, and Illinois threaten to enact their very own modifications if Texas proceeds with the restructuring in favor of Republicans.

In a Trump-style submit, Gavin writes, “DONALD TRUMP, THE LOWEST POLLING PRESIDENT IN RECENT HISTORY, THIS IS YOUR SECOND-TO-LAST WARNING!!! (THE NEXT ONE IS THE LAST ONE!). STAND DOWN NOW OR CALIFORNIA WILL COUNTER-STRIKE (LEGALLY!) TO DESTROY YOUR ILLEGAL CROOKED MAPS IN RED STATES. PRESS CONFERENCE COMING — HOSTED BY AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR, GAVIN NEWSOM. FINAL WARNING NEXT. YOU WON’T LIKE IT!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.”

Another reads, “DONALD ‘TACO’ TRUMP, AS MANY CALL HIM, ‘MISSED’ THE DEADLINE!!! CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE “BEAUTIFUL MAPS,” THEY WILL BE HISTORIC AS THEY WILL END THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (DEMS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE!). BIG PRESS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK WITH POWERFUL DEMS AND GAVIN NEWSOM — YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR — THAT WILL BE DEVASTATING FOR “MAGA.” THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GN”

This isn’t the primary time Newsom has trolled the president. After Trump threatened to have Newsom arrested if he didn’t comply along with his border czar, Tom Homan, the governor taunted him on an NBC interview.

“Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy,” Newsom stated.

Redditors on r/politics name Newsom’s technique “brilliant,” saying it’s an ingenious technique to “fight fire with fire.”

“Best part is that following trumps style removes the ability to argue it’s childish or etc… as it would apply to Trump too and if questioned about it, Newsom would just respond that you have to need down to speak to a child eye to eye…..,” one writes.

“We need more of this from Democrats in general….,” one other says.

“I’m cool with the counter-trolling. Not the biggest fan of Newsom, but, ‘enemy of my enemy’ and all,” a 3rd provides.

However, some don’t agree with the transfer, saying it’s distracting from the larger points.

“This is all Newsom could do. Prepare for Vance/Mace in 2028 if he’s the Democrat nominee,” a commenter says.

“Will he just [expletive] do it already. Sure, the mockery is fun and all, but we’re kind of in a literal crisis here,” one other writes.

“I don’t think this is the way. It just escalates the tension between the two parties,” a 3rd suggests.
