Newsom Mocks Trump with Fictional 'California Peace Prize' on X

  • California Governor Gavin Newsom sarcastically 'awarded' Donald Trump a fictional 'California Peace Prize' on X, marking the first anniversary of Trump's second term.
  • The 'award' was a humorous jab at Trump's unsuccessful attempts to win the Nobel Peace Prize and was accompanied by an AI-generated image of Newsom with a 'babyfied' Trump.
  • Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, encouraged followers to "congratulate Daddy's Little Helper" in his post.
  • The mockery coincided with news of María Corina Machado presenting her actual Nobel Peace Prize medal to Trump, which Newsom publicly called 'pathetic' at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
  • Newsom also shared a video highlighting Trump's controversies and criticized world leaders for being 'complicit' in their dealings with Trump, urging them to 'buck up' against his demands.

Why It Matters: Gavin Newsom used social media and public statements to mock Donald Trump with a sarcastic 'Peace Prize'.
