Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) press office seemingly mocked President Donald Trump’s limited-edition passport on Tuesday, posting what appears to be its own rendition of a Truth Social post.
The State Department announced limited-edition passports in honor of the United States’s 250th anniversary on Tuesday.
The passports feature an American flag background and images of Trump. It also shows the Founding Fathers at the historic signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Hours later, Newsom’s press office released an image of what it said is a new license for Californians. It shows an image of Newsom in front of a mountain range and California poppies, California’s state flower.
“IT WILL FEATURE A HANDSOME, HIGH-QUALITY PHOTO OF ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM,” the post reads. “MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT’S THE BEST LICENSE EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. THIS IS ABOUT CELEBRATING OUR BEAUTIFUL STATE (IT IS NOT ABOUT ME, DESPITE THE VERY HANDSOME PHOTO!). ENJOY! — GOVERNOR GCN.”

The format closely follows Trump’s posting style, often riddled with capitalized words, and signed in some variation of “President DONALD J. TRUMP” or “President DJT.”
The governor reshared the post on his personal page.
