California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Friday teased campaign merchandise styled after President Trump’s signature MAGA gear, posting a photo of a red hat reading: “NEWSOM WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!” “Newsom captioned the image on X in all caps: ‘NEW MERCH COMING SOON!’” YOU’RE WELCOME, PATRIOTS!”
The jab mirrored Trump, who the same day appeared at the White House wearing a hat that read: “TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!”
Newsom — seen as a likely 2028 presidential contender — has leaned into parodying Trump’s Truth Social posts, adopting his all-caps style and hyperbolic tone. In one press-office post, he dubbed himself “THE PEOPLE’S GOVERNOR” and “CARTOGRAPHER-IN-CHIEF” while touting new California congressional maps designed to blunt GOP gains from Texas redistricting.
The moves have elevated Newsom’s national profile, underscoring his prominent role in Democratic pushback against the Trump administration.
