Newsom Press Office Taunts Trump, Accuses Him of Repackaging California Policies

The governor’s communications team used a social-media thread to accuse the president of rebranding state programs.

Overview

  • In a Jan. 14 thread, the office invoked “California Derangement Syndrome” and portrayed the president’s second-term agenda as derivative of California initiatives.
  • It compared CalRx’s $11 insulin offering to the proposed TrumpRx plan for obesity drugs and linked California’s 2019 CalKIDS baby bonds to 2025 “Trump Accounts.”
  • The office labeled the federal Department of Government Efficiency a “cheap imitation” of California’s Office of Data and Innovation and claimed DOGE quickly fizzled.
  • It argued the president’s homeless encampment executive order came a year after Newsom’s and said there is still no national model despite promises to “save Hollywood.”
  • It highlighted California’s expanded forest management funding and alleged a 64% federal cut, and it said the state surpassed its apprenticeship goal before a 2025 national target was set.
