Gavin Newsom has trolled Donald Trump over the news that work will continue on his presidential ballroom through the government shutdown, comparing him to the historical French queen Marie Antoinette.

“TRUMP “MARIE ANTOINETTE” SAYS, “NO HEALTH CARE FOR YOU PEASANTS, BUT A BALLROOM FOR THE QUEEN!” the California governor’s press office wrote on X, alongside an AI-generated picture.

The image shows Trump dressed in the 18th Century dress and wig of the French aristocracy as worn by Marie Antoinette – who became a symbol of selfish luxury at a time when her people were going hungry. Newsom has repeatedly parodied the president’s trademark, all-caps posts multiple times previously.
