Hey, in a way, it’s kind of reflective.

Governor of California. Gavin Newsom (D) announced that he will send a very pragmatic gift to some notable supporters of the president donald trumpand it’s probably something a Targaryen (“Game of Thrones”) would ironically give to everyone he knows: knee pads.

“COMING SOON: NEW KNEE PADS FOR ALL CEOS, UNIVERSITIES, AND THE GOP BENDING THE KNEE TO DONALD TRUMP,” Newsom tweeted Wednesday.

He added: “HIS KNEES LOOK IN VERY PAIN BECAUSE OF ALL YOUR THROWING. THEY WILL EVEN BE SIGNED BY YOUR DEAR LEADER SINCE YOU LOVE HIM SO MUCH! WELCOME!!!!”

YOUR KNEES LOOK IN A LOT OF PAIN FROM ALL YOUR DRAGGING. THEY WILL EVEN BE SIGNED BY YOUR DEAR LEADER SINCE YOU LOVE HIM SO MUCH! YOU ARE WELCOME!!!! pic.twitter.com/fBV8WLpwVZ

– Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) October 23, 2025

Accompanying Newsom’s tweet was a clip from his appearance at the California Economic Summit in Stockton on Wednesday, where he expanded on his sarcastic sporting goods agenda, saying he intends to send a pair to the University of Virginia, the latest institution to reach an agreement with the Department of Justice over its diversity, equity and inclusion policies. This follows schools like Columbia University and Brown University, which have also bowed to the Trump administration’s demands to restore their funding.

In his clip, Newsom criticized “every CEO, media company, law firm and university” for “bowing the knee” to the Trump administration.

“This guy is…rewriting history,” Newsom said of Trump on Wednesday. “Taking us back to a pre-1960s world, censoring historical facts. Everyone wake up.”

Newsom also said the knee pads would be available on his satirical site “Patriot,” which he created earlier this year to mock Trump’s fundraising operation.

Although the knee pads already seem sold out, the site has plenty of other fun products, including a tank top that says “Trump Is Not Hot” and a red MAGA-looking cap that says, “Newsom was right about everything!” and Bibles signed by Newsom, intended to mock Trump who sells his own Bibles that say “God bless America.”

In August, GQ reported that Newsom sold $300,000 the value of the loot that attacks Trump in 24 hours.
