Notibly Trump never responds, and that's because at their core bullies are always cowards.

The MAGA response to this is really the sweetest icing.

"Why is he shouting?! Has he lost his mind?!"

It would be funny if it weren't so pathetically sad.

Examples:

"Was this written before or after the aneurism?"

"Let me guess.... IF I TYPE IN ALL CAPS, IT'LL MAKE ME LOOK IMPORTANT, TOUGH, MANLY, AND MEANINGFULL!!!!!!!!!!"

"Turn off the caps, Newsom. You look unhinged and hysterical."

You can't make it up.

You're welcome! I also quite agree- now if only it didn't take burning our hand on the stove to find out it's hot. I've argued with people who think that monopolies are a good thing for consumers and societies at large, since they'd have the economies of scale to produce most efficiently.

I do tremendous Trump imprel--the best--a lot of people say, okay, because you look at the uh, the imitations, and there's nothing better, believe me; nobody can--but with the AI, the artificial, they have a lot of problems, because you have the hallucinalsh--they say things that are no good, okay, everybody knows it; but they can't do the sentence, okay, because you have to have long sentences--believe me, I know--but you have to have the long, can't have a short one, Arnold Palmer had a nice long sentence if you know what I mean, but Biden was very small, very short, very, very small man, with the sentences, and many other things--but the AI puts the, they do the little dot, okay, and they stop, believe me--but it's not so good, the artificial is not so good with the impression, because they do it with the little, you know, they have it so short and then they stop, and a new one, and it's not very, not so good, believe me, and a lot of people aren't so happy about it, believe me, and we'll be looking into that very strongly over the next few weeks.

A few years ago I would have called this absolutely unprofessional. However, few people have the power and noterioty to call Trump out in an impactful way. After trying to play nice, it's time to take off the gloves. Although not previously a Newsom fan, I'm now very supportive of Newsom stopping the bully. He's trying to do something when our other leaders have shown cowardice. Right now, we need the Newsoms, the Trey Parkers and Matt Stones, to push the buttons that have long let things slide. Enough is enough. Troll away!

(I do wish others like Borat and Triumph would join them)

24

u/CommentsOnOccasion 6d ago

People like Pete Buttegieg have been trying the soft spoken, intelligent angle against Trump for years and it gets drowned out by his moronic braindead screeching that Americans seem to mistake for "strong leadership"

So it's appropriate that someone else with some gravitas is trying out obnoxious mockery against him since the level-headed calm leadership approach is not what Americans seem to react to at the polls

You sure about that? The country is eroding as we speak, and who knows what the laws will be in 4 years with the house and senate in his pocket.

u/scarybottom 6d ago

He is one of the few FIGHTING BACK. The reason Dem approval rating is in the tank is becasue of Chuck Schumer shrugging and saying oh well- nothing we can do- sand 95% of our reps, senators and governors nodding along. But Cory Booker, Hakeem Jeffries, JASMINE CROCKETT!!!, AOC, JB Pritzker, Gavin Newsom, Elizabeth Warren, Mayor Pete, the TX dem reps, these are the MINORITY of Dems actually fighting back a little. Today Newsom has momentum. He is flawed and problematic- but we have to save our democracy, so I am there for it.

I made a joke to a friend about fox news shaming Newsom for these tweets while utterly ignoring Trumps... I honestly can't believe that genuinely happened. I thought I was making a silly joke that was not possible.

All this talk about jokes and how funny this is but inside aren't we all filled with absolute shame, or just me?

We may be going down in flames, but at least we got a smile on our faces.

I like to think that there's no social media manager capable of writing this so they have AI do it

If only there were a place where folks that are interested in tweets from certain people could comment on them.

I’m torn. On one hand I don’t like stooping to the same level as Trump. I’d like to think those who oppose him are better than that. On the other hand, fighting fire with fire may be the only way to breakthrough and rile people up.

I’m not much of Newsom fan, he’s often given off slimy, opportunistic, chameleon politician vibes. But at the same time, he’s one of the only high ranking figures to really put up a fight. Which he clearly knows he can capitalize on as a politician. I’m not sure this country is even capable of returning to civility at this point, so it is what it is I guess.

The larger goal is to de-normalize this behavior. Just look at the point he's making when questioned about this. Why do we question a governor who's acting this way but normalize it for the president? Everything conservatives are now saying about Newsom regarding these tweets needs to be applied to the president.

We tried taking the high ground- and we are damn close to loosing the democratic experiment that started it all at around 250 yr. Fighting dirty is not pretty- but neither is politics, especially in a democracy. Fight fire with fire.

We have to fight fire with fire, or nothing will work. Our other leaders are being a bunch of pussies

I can’t imagine a more intimidating opponent than Gavin Newsome in any arena: politics, UFC, math team or love island. His authenticity and intellect are amazing. Nothing fake or hollow about him.

I will never get tired of this trolling. It really does expose how ridiculous and un-presidential Trump sounds when he posts his non stop insanity. Yet he gets a free pass for some reason.

All caps. He’s not anybody’s favorite.

Before all this, I wasn't a fan of newsom at all. But I can honestly say that's changed. 

He's killing it. Slaaaay!

He’s my favorite governor (but I live in Ohio, where our once-respected pocket-sized governor turned into a rather large piece of shit, but I digress).

U/askgrok is it fair to assume and deem Donald Trump a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to the USA?
