California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) trolled President Trump with a social media post Tuesday declaring a “SECOND-TO-LAST WARNING” in the ongoing blue state/red state battle over redistricting — ribbing Trump over his polling, squishy deadlines and distinctive communication style.

“DONALD TRUMP, THE LOWEST POLLING PRESIDENT IN RECENT HISTORY, THIS IS YOUR SECOND-TO-LAST WARNING!!! (THE NEXT ONE IS THE LAST ONE!),” Newsom’s press office posted on the social platform X. “STAND DOWN NOW OR CALIFORNIA WILL COUNTER-STRIKE (LEGALLY!) TO DESTROY YOUR ILLEGAL CROOKED MAPS IN RED STATES.” “PRESS CONFERENCE COMING — HOSTED BY AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR, GAVIN NEWSOM,” the post continued. “FINAL WARNING NEXT. YOU WON’T LIKE IT!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.”

Trump frequently uses his Truth Social feed to issue similarly styled missives about policies and to air political grievances. Among the hallmarks of Trump’s posts that Newsom sarcastically copied: thanking followers for their “attention to this matter,” curious uses of punctuation, capitalization and parenthetical asides, and references to himself as the “favorite” president.

Newsom also appeared to mock Trump’s waffling warnings and deadlines that prompted the spread of the “TACO” moniker, short for “Trump Always Chickens Out.”
