      Newsom Mocks ‘Queen’ Trump for Building Ballroom During Shutdown
      The California governor posted an edited image to troll Trump for continuing to construct his White House ballroom.

      Gavin Newsom likened President Donald Trump to a certain controversial French monarch for continuing his ballroom construction amid the government shutdown.
      The California governor’s press office posted an edited image of Trump’s face overlayed on a fictitious portrait of France’s last queen, with the caption, “TRUMP ‘MARIE ANTOINETTE’ SAYS, ‘NO HEALTH CARE FOR YOU PEASANTS, BUT A BALLROOM FOR THE QUEEN!’”
      The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.
      The president, known for his extravagant taste, is nearly tripling the size of his residence with a $200 million gilded expansion.
      A White House official confirmed to ABC News on Wednesday that the construction will be unaffected by the shutdown.

      “There will not be a stoppage of ballroom work when the shutdown occurs,” the official said.

      Trump’s aides clarified that donors are privately funding the 90,000-square-foot addition to the Executive Suite, so the shutdown, which began at 12:01 a.m. EST on Wednesday, does not affect it.
      CBS News previously reported that companies helping to foot the bill include Google, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Palantir. And on Monday, Alphabet-owned YouTube handed over $22 million to the Trust for the National Mall “to support the construction of the White House State Ballroom” while settling a lawsuit.
      Newsom’s press office trolled Trump earlier over the continued work by posting a mock conversation between “DEMOCRATS,” “MAGA,” and the president.
      The post on X read, “DEMOCRATS: Lets make health care more affordable — lets keep the ongoing funding!“
      The office wrote “MAGA,” as replying “No,” and President Trump as replying, “‘Go F— Yourself’ (actual quote) and I’m gonna keep building my ballroom.”
      The expletive quote refers to a White House official telling Politico last week that Trump “read all the s— they’re asking for, and he said, ‘on second thought, go f— yourself,’” in response to Democrats’ demands to avoid a shutdown

      I’m glad Newsom is making a spectacle of Trump, but it is going to take more than this to bring him down.

      The feminine little hands are on point. Trump wishes he had that much hair, though.

      I’m glad he marked it AI generated because I’m guessing if Trump saw it, he would repost it as his best hair day ever!!!

      “Yeah I know a good friend and supporter of mine was just brutally assassinated publicly and what a tragedy; but did you see we began construction on this new ballroom? It’s gonna be great”

      My favorite part about this is the picture of Queen Trump being clearly labeled “AI Generated “

      This rhetoric is really not helpful at all, and changes nothing. It’s just hot air. Wrestling with a pig. I hope Newsom is nowhere near the nomination.

      INFO: Is this like: „we’re gonna cancel already allocated funding the for the NYC Gateway Tunnel but the White House Ballroom is going forward“?

      Fellow progressives: do not pretend to be offended by “queen” as a slur. Now ain’t the time. Girl, OWN that statement.

      Trump reads „AI“ as the man’s name „aL“. He thinks some guy named al is creating these.

      Trump wants what he wants and takes what he wants and gets what he wants and neither law, nor justice, nor consequence will stop that.

      And that is why it’s time to close this chapter on American politics and the era of Trump.

      Who is going to spend time in the ballroom once it’s constructed? Who is coming to these “balls”, or whatever happens in ballrooms in modern times?

      My neighbor said DJT had a sex change operation so he could ‚grab his own p*ssy‘, now I see this, pretty funny.

      using gender norms as a bludgeon is homophobic and transphobic whether or not you support trans and lgbt

      50 to 60 % of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and skip meals because they cannot afford both food and medications.Trump and his cronies are getting richer everyday.The big ass bill is the greatest transfer of wealth from the poor,working class and government coffers in history.Trump building his brothel ballroom is a slap on the face of every American.

      This is all privately funded and not taxpayer money. Why would the construction just stop? Newsom has TDS and is an idiot for even posting this. It makes no sense at all. Trump has never stuck the American people with a bill for any renovation he has done to the White House.

      Miller is going to screech that this is an implied threat because of how MA ended up.

      For months, Trump has promised HE was going to pay for the (hideous, unnecessary) ballroom. Now, the truth, from the article: „Trump’s aides clarified that donors are privately funding the 90,000-square-foot addition to the Executive Suite, so the shutdown, which began at 12:01 a.m. EST on Wednesday, does not affect it.

      CBS News previously reported that companies helping to foot the bill include Google, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Palantir. And on Monday, Alphabet-owned YouTube handed over $22 million to the Trust for the National Mall “to support the construction of the White House State Ballroom” while [settling a lawsuit](https://www.thedailybeast.com/tech-giant-kisses-trumps-ring-with-millions-for-tacky-ballroom/).“
