In today’s politics, social media has become a big place for jokes and arguments. Recently, California Governor Gavin Newsom made fun of a popular social media picture. The picture showed MAGA musician Kid Rock and former President Donald Trump. The post spread quickly on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. This shows a trend where politicians use social media to joke about celebrities connected to politics.
The “Cute Couple” Comment: Newsom’s Viral Jab
The story started when Kid Rock shared a picture of himself and Donald Trump on a golf cart. He wrote that he was happy to golf with his “favorite President.” But then Newsom’s team reposted the picture. They added a joke calling them a “cute couple.” This was not random. It was a planned social media move by Newsom to copy the funny and personal style Trump uses online.
Cultural Oddities: From James Brown to Pavarotti
\The story got even weirder with music history. Kid Rock mentioned a famous performance by soul singer James Brown and opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. He said Trump showed him the 2002 performance of “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” and he could not believe he had never seen it before. Newsom’s supporters used this moment to make fun of the strange friendship between a MAGA rocker and an opera singer through Trump. Key Points of the Social Media Spat
