If you needed more proof that Gavin Newsom is running the most unserious governor’s office in America, well — congratulations. You just got it. The California governor’s official press team has apparently decided to cosplay as Donald Trump on X (formerly Twitter), complete with ALL-CAPS tantrums, high-school nicknames, and enough fake bravado to make even a BuzzFeed intern cringe.
And no, this isn’t satire.
This is actually how California’s taxpayer-funded executive office is spending its time — trolling a former president with posts like “TINY HANDS IS OUT HERE COPYING ME,” while claiming Gavin’s redistricting maps are so powerful they could literally win a Nobel Peace Prize. Yes, you read that right: redistricting maps. Not Middle East peace, not ending war. Maps.
While the southern border is wide open, inflation is crushing the middle class, and California’s own cities look more like Mad Max every day, the governor’s team is playing Trump parody theater on social media like it’s a slow week at a high school talent show. And they want you to think this is leadership.
Let’s break this down.
It all started after Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska — a headline event by any standard. But instead of focusing on actual policy, Newsom’s team saw an opportunity… not to lead, but to mock. They took a photo of Trump pointing at Putin and responded with a near-copy of Trump’s tone:
“TINY HANDS IS OUT HERE COPYING ME — BUT WITHOUT THE STAMINA (SAD), AND CERTAINLY WITHOUT THE ‘LOOKS.’ TOTAL BETA! — GCN”
Because when you’ve got record homelessness, rolling blackouts, and mass exodus from your state, the real issue is… finger-pointing form?
It gets worse. The account accused Trump of fleeing from questions, mocked his energy level (classic), and even suggested — with a straight face — that Trump wanted to give away California to Russia.
“MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT DONALD J. WOULD CONSIDER ‘GIVING AWAY’ THE FREE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO HIS ‘BEST FRIEND’ VLADIMIR PUTIN.”
Are we doing conspiracy theories now? Is this what “saving democracy” looks like?
This is more than a bad attempt at satire. It’s the clearest sign yet that Gavin Newsom thinks he’s auditioning for something bigger. He’s not governing. He’s campaigning. And he’s doing it with your tax dollars, while pretending to be the very man he claims to despise.
And then came the pièce de résistance: his team literally argued that Newsom deserves the Nobel Peace Prize because of… redistricting maps.
Not solving global conflict. Not uniting a divided country. Not rescuing California from the mess it’s in. Nope. Drawing political lines to benefit Democrats is apparently worthy of global peace honors now.
“WHY? BECAUSE OF THE ‘MOST INCREDIBLE MAPS IN THE HISTORY OF MAPPING’ (EVEN COLUMBUS).”
This isn’t satire. This is your governor’s official voice. And they’re not joking. Or maybe they are? At this point, even they probably can’t tell.
Even the left has had enough:

What’s wild is how they keep trying to frame this as “owning” Trump — when all it really does is broadcast insecurity. If Gavin Newsom were so confident in his leadership, why is he spending this much energy imitating the guy he insists is irrelevant? Why does every post reek of desperation to be seen, to be talked about, to be in the ring with Trump?
The truth is simple: Gavin Newsom wants to be the next Democratic nominee. But instead of running on results, he’s running on memes. While his state burns, his schools fail, and his citizens flee, he’s playing dress-up online — hoping the internet will confuse attention with achievement.

Click away, America. Because if Gavin really thinks redistricting maps are his ticket to the Nobel Peace Prize… just imagine what he thinks qualifies him for the White House.
