US EditionNewsom trolls Trump with online ‘PATRIOT SHOP’
The Patriot Shop sold over $100,000 in merchandise mocking Trump's style, including signed $100 Bibles that sold out quickly, as Newsom aims to energize his political base.
- Newsom opened his online 'The Patriot Shop' on Sunday, listing a $100 autographed Holy Bible labeled sold out and reporting over $100,000 in weekend sales.
- Recently, Newsom has been imitating President Donald Trump's all-caps posting style on social media, saying he's "just following example" when asked about the tactic.
- The collection includes MAGA-style red hats reading `Newsom was right about everything` and `Real Patriot` caps, a `Trump Is Not Hot` tank top, Newsom 2026 coffee mugs, a `Make America Gavin Again` flag, and a T-shirt image featuring Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson and Hulk Hogan.
- The move quickly prompted viral support online and angered the MAGA base and conservative critics, while President Donald Trump publicly blasted Newsom as 'incompetent' in a Friday Oval Office remark.
- The timing coincides with California Democrats' proposed redistricting plan potentially adding five additional U.S. House seats and CNN data analyst Harry Enten noting surging search and follower increases, days after President Donald Trump showed Volodymyr Zelensky his White House gift shop.
