Is Gavin Newsom Just Trolling Trump… or Running for President?

Gavin Newsom is leaning into his best Trump impersonation — all-caps tweets, trolling, even his own merch shop. California Democrats love it, but is this actually helping him build momentum for 2028, or is it just a social media stunt that won’t last? In this episode, we break down:

Why Newsom is taking this approach

The numbers behind his bump in polls, donors, and followers

Why independents may be his biggest Achilles’ heel

Whether this strategy works outside deep-blue California

Is Newsom playing the long game, or is this just a flashy distraction? Let me know what you think in the comments.

Are you a Californian who feels isolated and alone in your political views in a deep blue state? Feel like you can’t talk about insane taxes, an overbearing government, and radical social experiments without getting a side eye? Then join us on the California Underground Podcast to hear from people just like you.

*The California Underground Podcast is dedicated to discussing California news and politics from a place of sanity and rationality.*
