A change made to the presidential portraits in the White House has been mocked by Gavin Newsom's Press Office.
The Governor of California's team took aim at a recent addition made by Donald Trump, who is said to have written some of the newly fixed plaques himself. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump had written some of the entries onto the presidency portrait wall himself. She said, "As a student of history, many were written directly by the President himself."
One plaque presumed to have been written by the president says Trump "saved America" from Joe Biden's administration. It reads, "He left office issuing blanket pardons to Radical Democrat criminals and thugs, as well as members of the Biden Crime Family - But despite it all, President Trump would get Re-Elected in a Landslide, and SAVE AMERICA!"
Other plaques for Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Ronald Reagan, also made reference to Trump. Newsom's Press Office has since mocked up a photograph of Trump's presidential portrait and written their own plaque.
The image, which was posted to X yesterday (December 17), has since gone viral and featured some jabs at Trump and his administration. The edited plaque reads, "Donald is finished - he is no longer 'hot'. First the hands (so tiny) and now me - Gavin C. Newsom - have taken away his 'step'."
"Many are saying he can't even do the 'big stairs' on Air Force One anymore - uses the little baby stairs now. Sad! All the television cameras are on me. Even low-ratings Laura Ingram (edits the tapes!) can't stop talking about my beautiful maps. You're welcome for Liberation Day, America!"
"Donnie J missed 'the deadline' (whoops!) and now I run the show. Thank you for your attention to this matter! - GCN." The plaque mock-up comes as talk show host Jimmy Kimmel branded Trump a "special kind of lunatic" for writing the plaque paragraphs himself.
He said, "So he calls up a trophy shop and says, 'grab a pen, lets make some plaques.' It takes a special kind of lunatic to get his insults cast in bronze. Can we please put this man in a home before he destroys the one he's in now?"
Newsom also weighed in on the plaques, writing on X, "Inflation is up. Unemployment is up. Grocery prices are up. Electricity costs are up. And Donald Trump is spending his time doing this bull***t."
