Who offers US President Trump’s forehead? It is currently the governor of California, Gavin Newsom. The Democrat trolls Trump and the Republicans with memes and sayings. Newsoms Follower numbers go through the ceiling. And he is already interfering in the upcoming congress elections.
Donald Trump has decorated the White House more and more in recent months. In the meantime, it shines gold, where the cameras also swing, as in the copy of a baroque court seat. The US President has torn power than ever before, his government members are in his shade like everyone else. The Republicans in Congress keep silent when the head of state wants it. But what are the democrats doing? Finally, according to surveys, their voters want them to defend themselves against the attacked policy of the White House.
But after Trump’s taking office, her representatives froze like before the line. Only the progressive opposition around Senator Bernie Sanders and MP Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez temporarily made medial vertebrae and brought people to the street. So far, no one can fill out the management vacuum in the party. One puts it on: California’s governor Gavin Newsom. He has been fighting the president online with his own weapons for a few weeks: The account of his press office trump trumps with its typical social media duktus, derogatory nicknames, bracket remarks, in capital letters. Constable.
With the excessive news and AI pictures about Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Republican media faces, Newsom makes fun of the “Make America Great Again” base alias Maga, the way of communication and attacks, the permanent bias. “Newsom is a meme war,” reported the Pro Republican TV station Fox News. In one picture, for example, the governor can be seen, to whom the well -known Trump supporters – musician Kid Rock, the late wrestler Hulk Hogan and the moderator Tucker Carlson – put their hands on.
“Fuck off”
When Trump’s Minister of Residential and Urban Development, Scott Turner proudly tweets, that the side of his department is now only available in English (instead of also Spanish, French, German and Italian), Newsom replies in Spanish: “Vete a la Chingada” – piss off. A Trump picture with blue “Gavin 2028” can also be found. Elsewhere, Mocks and brags Newsom in capital letters: “Fox and Maga suffer from the newsoma disease syndrome !!! You should cry! Sad !!!” – Based on the claim of Trump’s supporters, his opponents exaggerated with their panicked rejection of the President. These are just a few examples in a permanent stream of memes and flippant, snappy or insulting back and forth, which a handful of employees generated for the governor.
Is this generally the new political style in the USA that appeals to people there or even motivated? There are no answers because there are no corresponding surveys. But as far as the range is concerned, the numbers show clearly: the tactics work. Newsoms X account has gained 450 percent of followers since mid-June, and the number is also going through the ceiling on Tikkok and Instagram. At Google, 13 times as many people searched for the name of the governor as in early June, and the trend is rising. Anyone who wants to become a US president must be known. If you want to be known, you need attention.
The Democrats need them bitterly. Under registered voters, they have been losing ground on the Republicans nationwide for five years. Their popularity was at a survey by the “Wall Street Journal” in July for three decades: 63 percent of voters had a negative opinion from the party, only 33 percent had a positive. In the meantime, Trump feels the country on the head. In a survey on the Presidential Presidential Performance of Socal Strategies – very early and with reasonably shaky database of only 700 respondents – Newsom is with the Vice President JD Vance, currently the most likely candidate of the Republican 2028, on paralyz: 39 to 37 percent. 23 percent expressed undecided.
“We have to change”
“I changed,” said Newsom in an interview about his new communication strategy: “The situation has changed, we democrats have to change.” He wiped a critical question aside: “If you have problems with what I publish, you should be damn thought about what he publishes as President.” The question is “how we could allow his tweets and truth social contributions to normalize over the past few years”.
The governor also makes politics that will affect Washington. In the week -long discussion to take up the early new part of constituencies in the state of Texas, the California governor took over the leadership role against the Republicans.
The conservatives waved new cuts of the constituencies in Texas this week. With the so -called Gerrymandering, you will probably win five seats in the House of Representatives in the 2026 congress elections. Usually the lines are drawn every ten years based on new numbers of the census. The Republicans have preferred the process, which makes it more likely that they can defend their majority in the House of Representatives. The Congress Chamber is completely re -elected every two years, and the party of the president almost loses seats.
In mid -August, Newsom talks about its “law to combat election manipulations”.

On Thursday, Newsom came up with a new cut in California to potentially reach five additional seats for the Democrats, i.e. to compensate for the imbalance again. “He knows that he will lose. Therefore, he asks his lap dogs in the country to find congress seats for him,” he stuck against Trump at X. In California, the new cut will be set to referendum. Ex-President Barack Obama called the governor’s approach “responsibly” because Texas “follows party instructions from the White House” to keep her majority in the House of Representatives “despite her unpopular measures”. Survey support this statement – the majority of the Americans are in favor of Trump’s projects implemented by the Congress.
Majority wants to stop Trump
Trump not only feels displeasure with his politics, but has also changed the wishes of the Democrats how her politicians should handle it. At Trump’s first take office in 2017, 23 percent of Democrats said in a CNN survey, they wanted their politicians to stop the Republicans; 74 percent wished to work with the other party. In the meantime, only 42 percent want to cooperate with the conservatives, 57 percent simply want to stop political rivals.
In California, Newsom would currently win the area code of Democrats for the 2028 presidential candidacy in California. In Texas it is almost on par with Pete Buttigieg in front of Kamala Harris. In a second place behind her, he is also nationwide and has pushed four places forward since April. So far, nobody has publicly declared that they want to compete in three years. First of all, the congress elections are pending. Then Newsom’s second and last term as governor ends in the most populous state in the United States. He then had time to prepare for another job.
