Newsom thinks he can take over the Democrat Party. But this could throw a wrench in things.
Because Gavin Newsom shared a bizarre video of himself that left everyone scratching their heads.
Newsom’s WWE-Style Victory Lap
California Gov. Gavin Newsom celebrated Democrats’ sweeping election triumphs with a raunchy, AI-fueled montage showing him delivering a pro-wrestling beatdown to President Trump, complete with doctored clips of the president portrayed as a fussy infant.
Channeling Trump’s own bombastic online persona, Newsom shared the over-the-top video on his official X account, featuring himself and former President Barack Obama tag-teaming the commander in chief inside a WWE ring.
“Now that’s what we call a takedown,” Newsom crowed on his official X account alongside the wild video.
The fantasy reel escalated with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), dubbed “The Dominator,” suplexing Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)—even though House seats aren’t contested until next year. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) hurled White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, while “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) pummeled border czar Tom Homan.
Trump, a WWE Hall of Famer, has shared his own wrestling memes in the past, including a recent deepfake of himself piloting a jet to drop waste on “No Kings” protesters and another slapping a sombrero on Jeffries amid a looming shutdown.
Democratic Wins and California Redistricting Boost
Newsom’s online bravado followed California voters approving his Proposition 50, which redraws congressional lines to add five Democrat-friendly districts, offsetting Republican gerrymandering elsewhere.
“What a night for the Democratic Party — a party that is in its ascendancy, a party that’s on its toes, no longer on its heels,” the governor proclaimed late Tuesday.
The blue wave included gubernatorial wins in New Jersey and Virginia, an expanded majority in the Virginia House of Delegates, retention of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court edge, and a statewide pickup in Georgia—injecting fresh momentum after last year’s drubbing.
AI Baby Trump and Mirroring the Madness
The governor’s post-election package featured an AI-generated clip of Trump sobbing under a red cap reading “Newsom was right about everything,” plus stills from his press account showing Newsom bottle-feeding a baby Trump, popping a pacifier in his mouth, and wheeling him in a stroller.
“The whole expression was to not allow it to be normalized. It was becoming normalized,” Newsom told NBC’s “Meet the Press” last week explaining his social media antics.
“I put a mirror up to that madness.”
