Newsom Mocks Trump Using a Crazy ‘Piggy’ Image Following the President’s Reporter Insult.

by


began trending within minutes.

Journalist associations issued statements condemning the remark. Women’s advocacy groups criticized the president’s dismissive tone toward a female reporter. Even some Republicans privately admitted the comment was “unusual even for Trump” — an acknowledgment of how sharply it contrasted even with his typical media clashes. But perhaps the most unexpected reaction came from California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Gavin Newsom’s AI-Fueled Counterattack

Within hours of the clip going viral, Newsom’s official press office posted a barrage of AI-generated images mocking Trump. And they were not subtle. The first image depicted Trump as a cartoonish pig standing proudly in a lavish, gold-plated Oval Office — a direct jab at his reputation for excess and his insult toward Lucey.

Another image portrayed Trump as a full-bodied CGI pig, complete with a smug grin and a red tie. The exaggerated AI rendering was intentionally absurd, designed to strike a nerve and generate laughs from Trump critics online.

A third post resembled a fictional tabloid magazine cover, featuring Trump in pig form once again, under the headline:
“Exclusive: The President Speaks! Oink Once for Yes!”

The trolling grew even sharper with one last post that didn’t require AI — a real photograph featuring Trump and Jeffrey Epstein together, captioned only with a single emoji. The message was unmistakable.

Newsom was not merely responding to an insult. He was:

  • Mocking Trump’s appearance

  • Highlighting the Epstein controversy

  • Framing Trump as a hypocrite

  • Taking a public stand for the press

It was political messaging wrapped inside internet meme culture — quick, biting, visually striking, and designed for maximum virality.

The White House Responds

By Wednesday morning, the fallout had spread so widely that the White House felt compelled to issue a statement defending the president. “This reporter behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional way toward her colleagues on the plane,” the statement claimed. “If you’re going to give it, you have to be able to take it.”

But critics across the political spectrum called the explanation weak. Many argued that regardless of the reporter’s behavior, the president of the United States should not resort to name-calling — especially not directed at a woman for asking a factual question. Meanwhile, Newsom’s AI images continued to circulate, gaining millions of views in under 24 hours.
