Overview

  • The shop lists MAGA-style caps, a $100 'Holy Bible' marked as sold out, a 'Trump is not hot' tank top, and a 'The Chosen One' T‑shirt referencing Trump's 2019 remark.
  • Newsom announced the launch with all-caps posts that mimic the president's style, saying he is following the example set by the White House.
  • He is using the rollout to spotlight a statewide redistricting vote after signing legislation proposing new California congressional maps.
  • The site identifies Bright Blue Ink as the administrator working on behalf of the Campaign For Democracy Committee.
  • After Trump allies criticized the Bible listing, Newsom replied on X that critics still do not understand the gag.
