He is getting mercilessly mocked and bullied in getting a taste of his own medicine. California Governor Gavin Newsom is leading the way with posts like this calling Donald Trump tiny hands, little hands, and words to those effects. Wow, Gavin Newsom writes, President Trump says about me, Gavin C. Newsom, he's a nice guy, looks good. Thank you for the kind words, little hands. Everyone seems to be talking about me, America's favorite governor, G.C.N.

And Gavin Newsom posts this video, play the clip. He's a nice guy, looks good. Hi, everybody. How you doing? Then Governor Newsom takes credit for the fact that Cracker Barrel will be adding in the white man back to its logo, American Dream achieved unlocked. After MAGA started bullying Cracker Barrel for changing. its logo and saying that they were going to like, boycott it. Cracker Barrel is like, all right, you want us to put the white guy in? Okay. And then Governor Newsom said, it was me who did it. Wow, after Governor Newsom called for Cracker Barrel to keep its old

beautiful logo. Today, the company did exactly that. Thank you, Governor. America is grateful for you. And then Governor Newsom says, a massive win for Patriots, all because of me, Gavin C. Newsom, congratulations. And he refers to his post, actually, which took place on August 21st, where he said, what is all caps? What is wrong with Cracker Barrel? Keep your beautiful logo. The new one looks like cheap Velvita cheese from Walmart. The place for groceries an old-fashioned term. Fix it ASAP. Woke is dead. Thank you for your attention to this matter. And the funny thing is that all of the MAGA influencers are like losing their mind. that Governor Newsom is mocking Donald Trump, like, they still don't get it.

And Governor Newsom's like, they still don't get it. MAGA influencer Eric Dowardy goes, California Governor Newsom is now claiming Cracker Barrel changed back their logo because of him. Gavin is in way over his effing head. Robbie Starbuck, a MAGA influencer, goes, Gavin Newsom is trying to take credit for the logo reversal of Cracker Barrel. now. I know his party loves a crack head, but it doesn't mean they need to act like they're on crack all the time. Sorry, Gavin Newsom, but Democrats are the ones who created woke. You own it.

Nice try, though. So the MAGA Republicans, like, create a fake issue that Democrats are not talking about at all. What was it? Like, two weeks ago, they're like, Sydney, Sweeney's hot, and she's wearing jeans. Look how hot she is in those jeans. And Democrats hate the fact that that she's in jeans because Democrats are woke. We love Sydney Sweeney. Stop making the hot girl take off. Just stop making her talk about the jeans and make her take off the jeans.

Stop it. And then people like, dude, what are you talking about? Like, this is not a real thing that people are talking about. Like, why are you cold freaking nuts? And then Governor Newsom posts the following. Wow. Sean Hannity says,

Gavin, you're doing great. I'm proud of you. Even Fox News agrees that I, Gavin C. Newsom and the number one governor in the U.S. history, only I can change hearts, minds, and Fox's awful ratings and honor G.C.N. And he plays this video of Hannity. Played this clip. Gavin, you're doing great. I'm proud of you. Now, thank you for your attention to this matter. Governor Newsom then post this AI image of Donald Trump in a Soviet uniform. And Axios goes just in. Government will take stakes. in more companies. Top Trump advisor says that's one of the new things that Howard Lutnik Commerce Secretary is saying after the Trump regime is taking over the methods of control and production of Intel. They're looking at Lockheed Martin, Palantir AI, and other companies as well. So Donald Trump's been putting massive banners with his face on it over government buildings, Kim Jong-un style.

So then Governor Newsom puts this photo right here of Kim Jong-un with his dad. thank you glorious leader and this is again the u.s. Department of labor goes american workers first and it's a big picture of Donald Trump's face one of the things that Donald Trump said during that bizarre press conference he did yesterday in his cabinet meeting is Trump goes you know you've got this incompetent governor it's Gavin Newsom he's very handsome though very good looking guy but he does weird things with his hands do you see that strange hand action I'll play you the clip again longer version of what I showed you at first, but Governor Newsom responds, you really want to have

the conversation about hands. Donald Trump's hand is literally decomposing, not to mention Donald Trump's hand gestures, but Trump's hands are showing indicia, again, I'm giving you my opinion based on all the medical people I've spoke to, of major cardiovascular issues and a constant blood work that's being drawn, causing a discoloration of his hands. Also, his cancels are like 19 inches around or something. Here, play this clip. Can't handle it. You have an incompetent governor there.

You have an incompetent governor in California, Gavin. I know him very well. He's incompetent. He's a nice guy. Looks good. Hi, everybody. How you doing? He's got some strange hand action going.

I don't know what the hell is his problem. It's a little weird, to be honest. A little something shaky going on there. But, you know. Governor Newsom then posts the following. We hate to say it, but Mike Pence is right. P.S. don't expect this to happen often. And Governor Newsom is quote tweeting or quote Xing, whatever the hell you call it now.

Former Vice President Mike Pence saying John Deere is laying off 238 workers at three factories in Iowa. The company said tariffs and lower commodity prices are to blame. Tariff costs in the quarter were approximately two. 200 million, which brings us to roughly 300 million in tariff expenses year to date.

donald trump saying we sent in hundreds of millions of gallons of water per day to these pacific ocean they turn a valve the valve heads out and this is donald trump's like bizarre, dementia-laden story. I mean, in my opinion, it's reflective of dementia, or just complete detachment from reality. So after the fires were 100% contained in January in Southern California, 100% contained, meaning no more risks of the fires, right?

Donald Trump sends the Army Corps of Engineers to Northern California to empty the reservoirs there containing billions of gallons of water, which are reserved in a reservoir for farmland during dry periods, particularly this summer. Trump emptied all that water out into the farmland, which is not even anywhere near Southern California, which didn't need the water anyway because, first off, the water's not going to put out the fires, number one. Number two, it's a different reservoir system.

Number three, it's not the Northern California. California is like the biggest state in America. So Northern California to Southern California is almost like the difference between New York and like South Carolina or like Virginia. Okay, it's very far. They're not connected, but that's what Donald Trump did. So Governor Newsom posts this AI image. A glimpse into Trump's make-believe world of giant water valves in Northern California. Because I'll play you the clip of what Trump.

said, which Gavin Newsom quote posts with this stuff, Trump says he turned on a valve in Northern California, which is connected to Canada, okay, which California doesn't border Canada. You turn it on and then he put out the fires. So here's what Governor Newsom posted, a giant faucet. Also, Governor Newsom posts, he asks Grock, which is like the AI software for X, formerly Twitter. Do people with dementia repeat false things over and over again? Yes. people with dementia can repeat false statements or beliefs, a behavior often linked to memory impairments and cognitive changes. This can manifest as confabulation where they create or repeat false memories

to fill gaps in recollection or preservation where they fixate on particular ideas or statements. Here's what Donald Trump said. These people are sick. There's something wrong. So we said hundreds of millions of gallons of water. day into the Pacific Ocean, they turn a valve and the valve heads out and we turned the valve back. I actually had to do it using force. We turned the valve back and now they have water, but not as much as they should have because they should. And I'm telling Gavin Newscom by

this conversation right now, turn the rest of the water on, turn it on. Okay, and it's just so perfect. He's saying that Donald Trump has dementia. Finally, call him out. because none of it's normal. And when Newsom is doing it, it hits hard. Governor Newsom then posts the following. Like Fox is saying, look, Newsom is saying that the new Cracker Barrel logo looks like Velvita cheese.

And then Governor Newsom goes, wow, even Fox is crediting the greatest governor in the world. I, Gavin C. Newsom, for making Cracker Barrel great again. Thank you. G.C.N. Trump's Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson goes, three plus hours of Trump's cabinet meeting with updates from all the cabinet members and many questions, the most transparent administration and history to which Governor Newsom responds. So you're finally going to be releasing the Epstein files.

Also, I love that Governor Newsom keeps on posting the crime statistics of red states where crime is substantially higher than blue states. There's also other important data as well. Look at a state like California. it gives to the federal government $80 billion more than it takes, whereas Texas takes more than $70 billion than it gives. Okay, blue states are giver states, red states by and large are taker states. Red states are bankrupt and don't exist without being subsidized by the blue states. So when MAGA attacks California, that's what's keeping them alive, these red states. Also, when they attack L.A. County, if Los Angeles County were a state, it would be the fourth

largest giver state in the United States, but it's a county. But if it was a state, that's how much it contributes to the federal government. If California was a country, it would have the fourth largest GDP in the world. Okay. So when people attack, oh, California, there's California, that fourth largest GDP in the entire world. But Governor Newsom posts photos like this. Arkansas's murder rate is 2.6 times higher than San Francisco's. Why won't Fox report that? Or this. Fox News is refusing to report that Louisiana's murder rate is nearly four times as high as California's.

Also earlier, Howard Lutnik said regarding Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve Governor who the Trump regime is trying to unlawfully fire, the crook always says, I'm not going anywhere. to which Governor Newsom posts a photo of Donald Trump saying, I'm not going anywhere. Trump's a felon. Trump's a sexual abuser. Trump's a fraud. Trump is all, he's a bankruptor. He's a loser.

Call him out. And I like that Governor Newsom is calling him out at all turns. He goes, Donald Trump turned a booming economy into a stagnant one in record time. His war on affordability and small businesses are having real impacts from his chaotic tariffs to his job and economy-killing immigration raids, California will continue to fight back. Governor Newsom Post Trump's immigration raids are destroying our agriculture workforce, inflating costs, creating worker shortages, and destroying communities. On California Farm Worker Day, we honor the hardworking men and women who power our economy.

We will not stop defending your rights. And when you see Fox and Sean Hannity say, well, Ron DeSantis of Florida says California may be number one, but for all the wrong reasons, Governor Newsom says wrong categories. California is the fourth largest economy in the world, number one in manufacturing, number one in farming, number one in new business startups, number one in tech and VC investments, number one in Fortune 500 companies, and number one in public education. system public hire education system so there you have it governor newsome fighting back hard mocking don't trump calling trump a loser calling trump pathetic calling trump dementia laden that's how you have to do it right now those are the rules the rules are there are no rules attack attack attack hit subscribe let's get to six million thanks for watching want to stay plugged in become a subscribers for our substack at midas plus You'll get daily recaps from Ron Filipkowski, add free episodes of our podcast, and more exclusive content only available at Midasplus.com.
