California Governor Gavin Newsom launched "The Patriot Shop," selling parody merchandise mimicking Donald Trump's style. Items include a red hat reading "Newsom Was Right About Everything" and a tank top saying "Trump Is Not Hot." Within hours, sales reached $50,000, doubling by the next day. Newsom's playful trolling of Trump has garnered significant attention and boosted his social media following, irritating Fox News but energizing his base. The shop's success highlights the effectiveness of Newsom's counter-tactics against Trump's brand of politics.
