California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has been mocking Donald Trump on social media this past week, and many on the right are angry at him for disrespecting their partys leader.But one commentators particularly ironic take has turned many heads. The account Governor Newsom Press Office, which is associated with Newsoms office, has been posting messages in Trumps style, such as writing in all-caps with boastful messages that make little sense. Related Gavin Newsom misgenders gay MAGA activist, calling him Nancy Mace Newsom has also been using this account to point out contradictions from Trump supporters. For example, he posted an AI-generated image of Tucker Carlson, Kid Rock, and Hulk Hogan praying over him. When a conservative got angry and called Newsoms post very disrespectful and blasphemy! Newsom replied with a screenshot of a Trump post that showed a picture of Trump as the pope, which Trump actually posted to social mediain May.And to Fox commentator Dana Perino, communicating in this style is only presidential when Trump does it.

If I were his wife, I would say you are making a fool of yourself, stop it Hes got a big job as governor of California, but if he wants an even bigger job, he has to be a little more serious.Perino who was White House press secretary under President George W. Bush. has since been roasted on social media over the fact that she doesnt seem to think the current president is acting foolish at all. While some brutally mocked the hosts apparent lack of self-awareness, others pointed out the more sinister implications of the double standard at play. I finally figured out what @DanaPerino is telling us here:It's okay to be a deranged narcissistic sociopath like @realDonaldTrump, and it's okay to tweet like a deranged narcissistic sociopath like @realDonaldTrump if, in fact, you are a deranged narcissistic sociopath like https://t.co/bC0bp6mSCu George Conway (@gtconway3d) August 20, 2025This double standard is not just about social media etiquette it's a reflection of a broader political narrative where Trump's actions are normalized, while others are held to an impossible standard. The irony is palpable Trump, who has made a career out of inflammatory tweets Siegien (@margaretsiegien) August 18, 2025Imagine if that was done by The President of The United States now THAT would be completely embarrassing, childish and unprofessional Oh Wait Thank you for your attention to this matter Suspiro (@Alejandra_Tica) August 18, 2025Fox News is truly struggling with the idea that Trump is being trolled gloriously by Newsome! They cheered for almost a decade about how Trump is not a typical politician and now his own tactics are being used against him and they cant take it!!!!

So which is it? https://t.co/cgeZD6LvSt Ken Norkin (@kennorkin) August 19, 2025Indeed, can you imagine someone elected to a big political job persistently posting self-aggrandizing tweets while taunting and insulting rivals in all caps? https://t.co/KgVuwTVtWv Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) August 18, 2025Are they deliberately hypocrites or are they that dense not to see it?Creating cognitive dissonance is all part of the psychological manipulation to control people. Gaslighting serves to make you doubt reality. Precariousness makes people feel powerless and easier to influence. https://t.co/DWFXkADboR AntiNarcopathyPharmD (@narceducator) August 19, 2025They know what Newsom is doing. They just cant admit it, bc that would imply that Trumps own Twitter demeanor is appalling. Which is exactly the point. https://t.co/zioQEmRjXk Robert E Kelly (@Robert_E_Kelly) August 19, 2025 Newsoms office, itself, also responded to the clip, writing, in all caps, ALMOST A WEEK IN AND THEY STILL DONT GET IT. Perino clapped back, claiming she does get it, but that it just isnt funny. ALMOST A WEEK IN AND THEY STILL DON'T GET IT https://t.co/xACH6zSfXX Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) August 19, 2025 Perino is not the only one on the right angry about the attention Newsom is drawing with his new posting style. Fox contributor Tomi Lahren got so mad at Newsom that she ranted about the gender neutral bathrooms of California where Newsom supposedly has to sit to pee, implying that Newsom is not a real man because he dislikes Trump.Many on the right are obsessed with gender roles and believe that accusing a man of not being masculine enough or a woman of not being feminine enough is a deep insult.In another post, she again called Newsom a woman as an insult.Gavin desperately wants to be president, but he has a better shot at being a real housewife of Beverly Hills, she wrote, commenting on Newsom calling Trump weak.In another post last week, Lahren joked about Newsom having a baby with former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and that baby being former congressman Beto ORourke, who she called Beta ORourke. Buttigieg is gay, and many on the right still mock him for being a parent,accusing him of chestfeeding his children as an insult.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
