Gavin Newsom's office just posted a clip of EMPEROR PALPATINE reading Trump's unhinged Truth Social rant about the L.A.

I know there’s serious news, but this? Too good not to share.

Gavin Newsom’s office just posted a clip of EMPEROR PALPATINE reading Trump’s unhinged Truth Social rant about the L.A. protests.

It’s trolling at its finest.

The Force is strong with this one. 💀👑

You should be able to just push that speaker to get the sound.

Sure, people like us might get it.

But the average Trump supporter would hear the deep voice as him sounding "strong" or whatever.

If you want to attack him, then you have to make him look weak and foolish.

"migrant riots": It's a way to dismiss the opposition, especially among racists and racist-adjacent people. That way they pretend that "real people" support the Mango Mussolini, that no "real people" oppose him.

"migrant invasion": LA does not need to be or want to be "freed" from the "invasion". The economy was humming with the "invasion". There were no whiteys displaced by the "invasion", no jobs lost, only jobs created. California has the largest economy by far in the US for a reason: it works, not in spite of taxes and "invasions" but because of taxes and a vibrant job force.

The only invasion is the deployment of Guard and Marines.

"occupied": The only occupation is the Guard and Marines.
