Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is having a moment as his mockery of President Donald Trump's social media posts has sent Republicans flying into a rage.

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace showcased some of Newsom's social media posts that adopt the style of Trump's all-caps rants, calling his foes "not hot" and needling Trump supporters. Meanwhile, scores of Newsom allies have started making AI photos of the governor similar to the Trump Trading Cards, showcasing the president as a superhero, war hero, and being touched by the hands of Jesus Christ.

She played clips of Fox News hosts who called it unprofessional and attention-seeking, completely missing that they're the ones who are being ridiculed......

Wagner and Wallace noted that humor "is Trump's kryptonite."

One question Wallace asked, however, is how it took nine years to realize that mocking Trump is a tactic.....

Dowd, a former strategist for George W. Bush's campaign, brought up how confused Fox News hosts are.

"That's my favorite part of the story!" she laughed hysterically.
