‘What the H*ll is His Problem’: Gov. Newsom Has Everyone in Stitches After Flipping Trump’s Insults Back on the Body Part He Always Tries to Hide

California Governor Gavin Newsom continues to troll Donald Trump on social media, and people are eating it up with delight. The latest troll has the governor clapping back after the POTUS called Newsom “incompetent” and said he had “some strange hand action” during a White House cabinet meeting on Aug. 26.

“You have an incompetent governor in, in, uh, California, Gavin,” he stammered. “He’s in — I know him very well. He’s incompetent. He’s a nice guy. Looks good. Hi everybody. How you doing? He’s got some strange hand action going. I don’t know what the h*ll is his problem,” he continued. “Sort of it’s a little weird to be honest. It’s a little something shaky going on there.”

Gavin responded on X on Aug. 27, and he had a message for Trump. The governor shared a video of Trump’s cabinet meeting with the caption, “You really want to have the conversation about hands?”

He also posted to his official account and wrote in Trump’s all-caps style. “WOW !! PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS ABOUT ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM: ‘HE’S A NICE GUY, LOOKS GOOD.’ THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS, LITTLE HANDS. EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE TALKING ABOUT ME (AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR!). —GCN.”

Whether Gavin was referencing the large bruise seen on Trump‘s hand or implying something about men who have little hands, X users were impressed.

One user wrote, “Not little hands. I appreciate this daily- keep going.”

A second person said, “He walked right into that one.”

Another joked, “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.”

One user replied, “Newsom is the only democrat that can go toe to toe with the Trump republicans and his posts are funny and engaging.”

Others noted MAGA followers’ angst about the post.

“This is hilarious,” added another. “I’m loving it. Conservatives missing the point is perfection.”

“They never will get it, but you deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for this, Governor.” added another.

Trump has not yet responded to Newsom’s LATEST TROLLING, but we’re sure he will eventually.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
