    The one thing I am learning from this is that media, to a certain extent, treats Newsom’s silly Trump-mimicking similar to how they do with Trump’s antics.

    The gizmodo article here being the exception rather than the rule. Most articles engage and report on this quite shallowly, more talking about what is said and done, rather than the broader picture of what they are doing and why.

    It’s bad that they do this, and Walz is way better at trolling than Newsom, but the silver lining benefit is that Newsom doing this sucks the airtime away from Trump’s attention-seeking or distraction stunts.
