President Trump Celebrates America’s 250th While Gavin Newsom Whines

While you were celebrating the Fourth of July semiquincentennial celebrations, America’s 250th birthday, grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, and smoking try-tip, while the kids and grandkids were splashing in swimming pools, and while families joined in parades, California Governor Gavin Newsom could only think of one thing – himself.

As President Donald J. Trump was putting on the greatest fireworks show in American history, and thousands of Americans visited the Great American State Fair in Washington D.C., California’s whiny governor posted a video carping about Donald Trump, and projecting his own corruption onto America’s President.

“250 years ago, our founders gave voice to one of the most radical sentences ever written: ‘We the People.’ Today, that idea is under attack,” Gavin Newsom said. 

Tell that to the thousands upon thousands of Americans at the Great American State Fair, and the thousands who stayed for the 850,000-shell fireworks show.

250 years ago, this country was founded on a radical idea that government answers to the people.

Today, that idea is under attack by a man who embodies the very tyranny our Founders rejected.

Newsom claimed that Trump:

• He’s embraced gerrymandering to entrench minority rule
• Donald Trump and his allies are pushing voter suppression laws across the country
• Donald Trump and his allies are trying to end birthright citizenship
• Donald Trump is threatening to use the military and law enforcement against his political opponents

Notably, Newsom just redistricted California to gerrymander and eliminate the votes of specific Republican-leaning areas, something the Founding Fathers fought against.

I don’t think the Founding Fathers would care much for Gavin.

What actually was under attack was California – “Fourth of July descended into mayhem across Southern California as unruly crowds overwhelmed packed-out fireworks displays, looted stores, ignited fires and saw cops charge on horseback,” the California Post reported. “Officers were swarmed by hundreds of people who hurled bottles and other debris at them before the crowd turned on one another and began fighting.”

Compare Newsom’s ridiculous speech, tearing down what he himself is incapable of building, to President Trump’s at the Salute to America Celebration July 4, 2026, praising America, our flags that flew at Saratoga and Yorktown, the founders, American explorers, our military Medal of Honor recipients, and our armed forces: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force.

Trump railed against the latest attempts to usher in communism, and said “Our warriors did not fight communism on battlefields across the world only to have that menace rear its ugly head right back here in America.”

“We’re not going to let that happen.”

“It’s like a cancer – you’ve got to cut it out, and cut it out fast.”

While President Trump regaled Americans with patriotism, Newsom is trying to deflect from the tyranny flooding California by making voter ID illegal and mandating universal mail-in ballots to permanently rig California elections through ballot harvesting. Newsom is deflecting from the millions of illegal aliens he is using taxpayer money to support, while our services and health care diminishes. He’s deflecting from the hundreds of thousands of homeless drug addicts living and pooping on the streets.

Newsom is deflecting from how he and Democrats are crushing small businesses, medium businesses and large businesses, driving billionaires out of the state, starving farmers and ranchers of water, defunding police, emptying out state prisons, ignoring lawlessness, turning over state lands to tribes.

And then Newsom lectures about “democracy.” It’s almost laughable that Newsom, a career democrat politician, claims that the government works for the people, when he is stripping power from the elected State Schools Superintendent and creating a new commissioner position appointed by the governor – something a monarch would do.

Californians remember how Newsom locked the entire state down in 2020, and kept it locked down for three years, extending his executive powers many times, while he galavanted around the country, dining at the French Laundry, vacationing in Cabo, and even traveled overseas. Newsom is projecting onto Trump what he does on a daily basis.

President Trump said “Liberty has prevailed here because of the culture and the character of the people who declared it, defended it, and preserved it—We reach a milestone like no other and celebrate with joyful hearts and soaring spirits…” while Newsom ignores that everything he accused Trump of doing, was actually done to Trump by Newsom’s Democrat Party.

Yet Donald Trump forges ahead for the people. No one will remember Gavin Newsom in 100 years, but Donald Trump will go down in history as one of America’s greatest presidents.

“250 years ago, a bold idea changed the course of history. Today we celebrate the people, principles, and enduring promise of the United States of America. Happy 4th of July from the White House.” – President Donald J. Trump
