Gavin Newsom mimics Trump’s all-caps posting style in jab amid fight over congressional redistricting

AUSTIN, TEXAS: California Governor Gavin Newsom has taken a satirical swing at Donald Trump, releasing an all-caps statement mimicking the president’s Truth Social style as their clash over congressional redistricting intensifies.

Newsom’s mock statement came in response to Republican efforts in Texas to redraw electoral maps in a way that could secure five additional GOP seats in the US House.

Trump has publicly urged Republican-controlled legislatures nationwide to pursue similar changes to protect their majority heading into 2026.

Gavin Newsom mocks Trump in all-caps tirade over redistricting feud

Newsom’s parody message referred to Trump as “DONALD ‘TACO’ TRUMP” and claimed California would create “NEW, MORE ‘BEAUTIFUL MAPS’” that would help Democrats reclaim the House.

“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,” the statement read.

He followed up with another dig in a style reminiscent of Trump’s own Truth Social posts, writing, “WHEN SPEAKER “LITTLE MAN” JOHNSON IS STANDING IN “THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE,” HE CAN THANK DONALD “TACO” J. TRUMP. TRUMP MISSED A SIMPLE DEADLINE — SOMETHING HE HAS OFTEN DONE WITH HIS MANY FAILED BUSINESSES — NOW CALIFORNIA WILL “FIRE” HIM WITH NEW, “MORE BEAUTIFUL MAPS.” HIGHLY ANTICIPATED, “HISTORIC” PRESS CONFERENCE WITH YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR GAVIN CHRISTOPHER NEWSOM!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOU ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. — GCN”

The post took aim at Trump for missing the redistricting deadline, while revealing California’s plan to roll out new “historic” congressional maps. It also teased a high-profile press conference featuring top Democratic leaders, hinting that the announcement could deal a significant setback to Trump’s “MAGA” agenda.

A typical Trump Truth Social post often features all-caps declarations, nicknames for political rivals like “CROOKED HILLARY,” over-the-top promises (“IT WILL BE HISTORIC. THE BEST EVER!”) and constant self-branding (“THE GREATEST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY!”)
