GOOD TROUBLE

Democrat Gov ‘Stirs Up S***’ With Pro-Trump Posts— Making MAGA Fans ‘Sorry’ About Election Vote

Gavin Newsom said it was “good to see Trump embrace Elon’s position” on H-1B visas, leading hardline MAGA fans to brand the President-elect a “Democrat.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has riled up MAGA fans with his online support of President-elect Donald Trump.

The Democrat voiced agreement with Trump and his DOGE co-head Elon Musk’s pro-H-1B stance, leaving some red voters swearing away from their party in fear that it was becoming too palatable for the liberals.

While some appeared ready to take lighters their black and gold MAGA caps, others claimed that Newsom was purposefully stirring the pot and trying to alienate Republicans from their leader amid the ongoing MAGA civil war.

On X on Saturday, Newsom shared a screenshot of an article with the headline: “Trump supports immigration visas backed by Musk: ‘I have many H-1B visas on my properties.’”

Alongside the image, he wrote, “Good to see Trump embrace Elon’s position. Hardworking immigrants should continue to be part of our great nation.

“From Silicon Valley to the Central Valley, we are better off when we have competition and top talent – from farmworkers, construction workers, CEOs, and beyond."

Many MAGA devotees balked at his response, saying the California Democrat’s apparent support of Trump meant that their movement was over for good.

“The most radical Democrats are now shilling for Trump. Maga has been cooked for some time, but now it’s burnt to a crisp,” one commenter wrote.

“This is how you know they hold the wrong position. If it was ever actually in question,” a second said.

“Right. Trump is a democrat. I’m sorry I voted for him,” a third agreed.

Another commenter took a different tune, and surmised that Newsom was trying to take advantage of the current MAGA crisis to fracture the Republican support base.

“Nah this piece of s--- is just trying to stir up some s---. Don’t fall for it,” they urged.

This isn’t the only post Newsom has made in seeming support of Musk’s— and now Trump’s— softened take on H-1B visas.

Just hours before his first post, he wrote: “@ElonMusk is right when he said: ‘you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be.

“The same principle should apply to supporting our farmworkers, construction, and trades workers who build and feed our country. Top talent is top talent.”

The governor’s Twitter spree came after Elon and his DOGE co-head Vivek Ramaswamy sparked an internal crisis among Trump’s inner circle with their focus on immigration.

On Thursday, Musk liked a post claiming that Americans are too “retarded” to fill the country’s tech workforce, while Ramaswamy shared a long post reading in part, “American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long.”
