A Parody Twist On MAGA Branding
Gavin Newsom’s “Patriot Store,” promoted with the all-caps declaration “THE PATRIOT SHOP IS NOW OPEN!!!!” on X (formerly Twitter), sells Donald Trump-inspired designs with a twist. Among the items is a MAGA-style red hat rebranded to read: “NEWSOM WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!”
The governor has also mimicked Donald Trump’s social media style on his “Governor Newsom Press Office” X account, with posts parodying Donald Trump’s language and tone. One post declared: “EXCEPT WHAT IS WRITTEN AND BROADCAST IN THE FAKE NEWS, I NOW HAVE THE HIGHEST POLL NUMBERS I’VE EVER HAD, SOME IN THE 60’S AND EVEN 70’S. THANK YOU. MAKE AMERICA GAVIN AGAIN!!! — GCN.”
Donald Trump’s Own Crypto Play
The jab also comes as Donald Trump himself has leaned into cryptocurrency. The US President has promoted his own memecoin $TRUMP and courted buyers at private dinners. His company, Trump Media and Technology Group, recently disclosed holdings of roughly $2 billion in bitcoin and other digital assets.
Recalling a summer conversation with Donald Trump about deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles, Gavin Newsom said the US President had mentioned his crypto ventures, which the governor described as a “crypto grift.”
