Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) took another swipe at President Donald Trump on Sunday, launching a new store selling merchandise parodying the president.
Newsom’s “Patriot Shop” features products mimicking similar ones from Trump’s store. Among these products are hats in red, the same iconic color used by Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hats, that read “Newsom was right about everything!” and “Real Patriot.”
THE PATRIOT SHOP IS NOW OPEN!!!!
MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS IS THE GREATEST MERCHANDISE EVER MADE.
PLEASE ENJOY, AMERICA! https://t.co/H9wbcXdNhb pic.twitter.com/dWlKGq23eq

Newsom promoted this new store on X, saying the store “already sold out” of the Bible. The governor’s comment is likely a dig at musician Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA Bible,” which Trump endorsed in March 2024.
The store also features a “Newsom 2026” coffee mug, possibly referencing the “Trump 2028” hats the Trump Organization started selling in April.
Additionally, the store is selling a T-shirt bearing the same painting Newsom’s press office posted on X last week that portrays musician Kid Rock, commentator Tucker Carlson, and an angelic version of the late Hulk Hogan praying over Newsom.
GAVIN NEWSOM IS THE LIKELY DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
Kid Rock distanced himself from the Newsom press office’s social media campaign, calling the governor “Newscum,” which Trump coined when he visited the southern border last year.
Trump dished criticism against Newsom on Friday, calling the governor “incompetent.” Newsom retorted with Trump-style mockery, writing on X, “Such low energy. SAD!”
