Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And, in Newsom's case, not being able to come up with any original ideas means you have to copy others.

"There never was a Bible for sale. This was intended to mock Trump and his merch efforts."

Can you cite this please? Every search I'm doing on Google and Bing say this is real. His mocking is in the parodies of the items, not in that he is just putting superficial items up for sale to mock.

And, if it is true, it's hilarious how liberals demonize a rich guy for getting more rich by selling merch but then when a rich liberal does it, it's "mocking". Newsom did this to make money, that's it. You can spin it however you want and add in whatever political bias that helps your narrative but this is just another money grab by a rich person. I'm good with it because I enjoy Capitalism but liberals are only being hypocrites by supporting this.

"Newsom isn't copying Trump. He's mocking him with humor."

Wow. So you completely ignore the ample profits he's making which is why Trump did it in the first place all because you want Newsom to be a good guy? He's not. He's rich and will do anything to stay rich and get more rich. Ignoring that is half of why this country is controlled by rich people, because your party continues to actually think that the Dem party is full of only working class people who put the interests of others before themselves. Even thought that has been demonstrably proven untrue for decades, you STILL try to believe it.

I guess liberals are OK with rich people as long as those rich people say they got rich from mocking others.

"The governor is hardly alone in relishing the opportunity to take on Trump. ..."

And that's why someone like Trump is so bad for the country and also why liberals are so bad at governing. Trump's style just invites hate, full stop. And instead of wanting to fix things and make America better, liberals want to spend their energy fighting against a single person while ignoring the problems that plague citizens like crime, gas prices, etc. By the way, anyone catch the news about gas prices this holiday weekend being so low?
