‘Well Would You Look at That …’ Gavin Newsom’s Fans Hit Trump Where It Hurts with the Most Embarrassing Pic That Has Folks Covering Their Eyes

Posted byBy Angelina Velasquez | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Fans of California Gov. Gavin Newsom are continuing to remind President Donald Trump of his shortcomings with viral memes.

A photograph first surfaced online on Dec. 4 during an Oval Office meeting, showing the sides of the 79-year-old’s wispy white tresses combed back, creating the appearance of a thick head of hair. However, the thinning spot atop his head was too large for trolls to ignore, and in classic Newsom fashion, the jokes followed instantly.

‘Newsom Was Spot On’: Gavin Newsom’s Savage New Nickname for Trump’s White House Project Has the Internet Howling

The “Governor Newsom Press Office (parody)” X handle incited a wave of trolling when it tweeted, “THE ONLY PART OF DONALD TRUMP THAT’S THIN,” with a Getty Image revealing the billionaire’s balding crown.

“Well would you look at that… there IS something transparent in the trump administration,” an X user replied, mocking White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s claims. On multiple occasions she has stressed that the administration is the most transparent in history, though critics argue otherwise.

“Gasp! … It’s not orange in there! What could this mean?” read a second reaction, making fun of the businessman’s unnaturally orange and tan complexion during speaking engagements.

The photo revealed his bright red scalp peeking through his remaining strands of hair. In the past, he has blamed incandescent lights for his orange appearance; countless others say excessive makeup is the real culprit.

A person who got a kick out of the unflattering image tweeted, “Ha ha ha ha. he’s so insecure about his comb around bouffant!” “The Apprentice” boss has, in fact, expressed shame towards the obvious sign of aging.

“I try like hell to hide that bald spot, folks,” he said during the 2018 Conservative Political Action Conference. He added, “I work hard at it. It doesn’t look bad. Hey, we are hanging in, we are hanging in, we are hanging in there. Together, we are hanging in.”

In October, he had a public meltdown when Time magazine “disappeared” his hair for a cover story about his triumphs. He ranted, “The picture may be the WORST OF ALL TIME… This is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out.”

A heckler hit below the belt when they joked, “There is another thin and small part of him according to Stormy Daniels.” In the explosive hush money case, adult film star Stormy Daniels alleged she and Trump had intimate relations in 2006.

A jury convicted him of 34 offenses stemming from proof that he directed associates to falsify documents to hide receipts confirming he paid Daniels to keep their affair private during his 2016 presidential campaign.

The sensitive topic of Trump’s hair was perceived as yet another red flag fueling speculation about the businessman’s health. That person remarked, “His blood is probably thin since he’s been having strokes and constant MRIs.”

For months, Trump’s slurred speech, inability to consistently express a string of coherent thoughts, swelling of his legs and hands, and, more recently, his falling asleep during televised meetings have led many to suspect his health is declining.

He has admitted to undergoing an MRI, cognitive tests, and multiple physicals since his return to the Oval Office in January. He vehemently boasts about being the poster boy for a fit president despite the rumors.

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

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.
