California Gov.Gavin Newsomattempted to mock President Donald Trump this week by parodying a limited-edition U.S.passport featuring the commander-in-chief’s image.
The exchange began after theState Departmentannounced that it will roll out special passports to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, prominently featuring Trump’s image on the inside cover.
Not to be outdone, Newsom — a frequent critic who often takes to social media to needle the president — jokingly posted an image of a California driver’s license featuring his own portrait.
