California Governor Gavin Newsom’s online mockery of Donald Trump, mimicking his all-caps social media style, has ignited a feud. Trump responded with a Truth Social post attacking Newsom, prompting the Governor’s office to fire back with snowflake emojis. This strategy appears to be working in generating attention for Newsom, who has gained a million followers on TikTok and Instagram since January. This has spurred criticism from figures such as Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz, who have commented on Newsom’s priorities.

Trump Proves the Jokes Are Getting to Him by Lashing Out at Newsom, and it’s quite a sight to behold, isn’t it? It seems that former President Trump, a man known for his own relentless attacks and often juvenile insults, can’t quite handle it when the tables are turned. The target? California Governor Gavin Newsom, and the weapon of choice? Well, it’s the jokes, of course.
The initial reactions seem to suggest that Ted Cruz is playing a slick game of deflection, but ultimately the focus rests squarely on Trump. The sentiment is clear: the mocking must continue, and it must be relentless. The consensus is that Trump’s reaction proves how easy it is to get under his skin. It seems like a good number of people find it interesting that other Democrats are not following Newsom’s lead in this.
The irony is definitely not lost on anyone, particularly in the context of Trump’s own history of not understanding irony, particularly given his history with foreign things. The general impression is that Trump has a very thin skin, probably a layer of bronzer over everything. The idea is he struggles to take a joke and doesn’t deal with any criticism well.
There’s a sense of glee in seeing Trump react this way. The phrase “the Head Clown” is used with a clear degree of contempt, and the focus is on the fact that bullies really hate being bullied. The sentiment seems to be that if you are throwing insults around, you should be ready to take them as well.
The attacks, both verbal and perhaps implied with the suggestion of armed intimidation, are seen as clear signs of Trump’s fragility. The reactions are not just about humor, but also about a broader commentary on Trump’s leadership style and character, which seems to have led to the feeling that he is trying to live the “dictator playbook” out.
The core idea is simple: Trump is a “snowflake,” and his reaction to Newsom’s jabs is proof positive. The calls to “bully the fuck out of him” are a pretty clear indicator of the animosity directed towards him. There’s also the feeling that any positive coverage is a waste of media coverage when the main story should be focused on the Epstein files, especially considering the news is “so focused” on Newsom’s tweets and other issues, which some consider “pathetic.”
One interesting point is that focusing on the jokes is actually helpful to Trump. This sort of coverage means less focus on actual policy, the economy, and even the ongoing legal issues, or the Epstein files. The fact that Fox News, the perceived “propaganda arm of the Republican Party,” is covering the story is seen as proof that it is generating clicks and, therefore, fulfilling its mandate.
The consensus seems to be that Trump is being revealed as a very thin-skinned individual. Anyone who previously doubted this about Trump is getting an education on the topic, from Trump himself. And the solution? Laughing more. The more we laugh, the more he cries.
