Newsom Christens Trump's Rose Garden With Brutal New Name

California Governor Gavin Newsom has launched a fresh round of attacks on President Donald Trump in his unrelenting campaign to reality-check the MAGA base.

Honing in on Trump’s grand reopening of the freshly paved-over Rose “Garden” on Friday, Newsom rebranded the concreted area the “Predator Patio.”

“Welcome to Predator Patio! Admission? Just prove you’re on the Epstein List!” the Newsom Press Office account wrote on X. The tweet was accompanied by an image of Trump holding a microphone, superimposed over a shot of the dinner held in the garden on Friday.

Newsom did not stop there. The press account launched a stinging rebuke of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson for attending the event.

“After ripping health care from 17 million Americans and slashing food stamps for kids, we’re glad Mike ‘Marie Antoinette’ Johnson and his boy friends had time to toast the grand opening of the Predator Patio,“ Newsom’s press office wrote on X.

There was a chance of thunderstorms. Wonder what they did with the extra people. The State dining room couldn’t hold as many people as the pedo patio.

A nonsense song in Spanish is perfect.

El patio de mi casa

El patio de mi casa
Es muy particular :
Cuando llueve se moja
Como los demás.

Agáchate
Y vuélvete a agachar
Que los agachaditos
Saben bien jugar.

Hache, i, jota, ka
Ele, elle, eme, a,
Que si tú no me quieres
Otra niña me querrá.

It wouldn't surprise me if Trump threatened to sue Newsom over this. I think that may be what Newsom is going for - goad Trump into a lawsuit so he can get to "discovery". I'm sure that would open Trump up to exposing tons of things Trump needs to keep hidden.

would be to restore the Rose Garden with green grass and a beautiful renewed garden.

But I’m hoping that’s what the next Democratiic president will do.

And will continue to love it - because it is so demeaning to the magapubs.

It doesn't mean that we can't walk and chew gum at the same time. However, a lot of us needed this. It's time the magapubs and last remnants of the indieteapublicans got their come uppence.

when they start hosting UFC cage matches in the concrete Rose Garden with orange Caligula looking on from the White House balcony. It's like a bad dystopian future movie.
