California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has admitted that his recent trolling of President Donald Trump has raised a few eyebrows in his own family.

“I know there are some people who are offended by our all-caps parody of Trump, but I thought it’s time to put a mirror to Trump,” Newsom, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, told MeidasTouch Network’s Adam Mockler.

“I mean, this sort of craziness that’s going online. I get it. My kids are like, ‘Jesus, Dad, what the hell’s going on?’” added Newsom, who has four children between the ages of 7 and 14.

But the posts that mimic Trump and are enraging the president’s MAGA base, Newsom said, have a serious purpose.

“The point is to make the point about what is going on in this country,” he explained. “You have the president of the United States that’s acting like a child and you’ve got the chatbots on Fox that repeat 24/7 and are weaponizing his grievances, attacking vulnerable people, traumatizing communities.”
