Newsom Christens Trump's Rose Garden With Brutal New Name [View all]

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.
