California Governor Newsom Sells Out Trump-Trolling Bibles Amid Redistricting Push

California Governor Gavin Newsom has launched a satirical merchandise line called the "Patriot Shop" that parodies President Donald Trump's signature MAGA branding and merchandise sales. The shop features items such as $100 "Holy Bibles" autographed by Newsom, which quickly sold out, a jab at Trump's own "God Bless the USA" Bibles, as well as red hats and tank tops mocking Trump's slogans and persona. Newsom's campaign of trolling includes adopting Trump's all-caps social media style and slogans, including a flag reading "Make America Gavin Again," aiming to undermine Trump's political messaging while boosting his own profile and fundraising efforts. The merchandise campaign has already generated significant sales and donations, with Newsom raising over $6 million amid a concurrent push to redraw California's congressional maps favoring Democrats. The governor's actions have elicited criticism from Trump, who called Newsom incompetent, but have been well received on social media as a strategic and humorous counter to Trump's brand of politics. Newsom's parody effort is seen as leveraging irony and satire to challenge Trump's influence and energize Democratic supporters ahead of future elections.
