California Governor Gavin Newsom is continuing to keep the heat on President Donald Trump after his “nothing” talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Democratic Party’s “Petty King” blasted Trump’s much-anticipated Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin, in which the two leaders failed to make any progress toward bringing an end to the war in Ukraine.

“Trump just fled the podium with Putin—no questions, nothing!" Newsom tweeted in all caps. “Total low energy. The man looked like he’d just eaten 3 buckets of KFC with Vlad.” He also took aim at the president’s “tiny” hands.

Newsom has been on the warpath against Trump and the GOP ever since the president deployed Marines in Los Angeles in June.

This week, Newsom ramped up his anti-MAGA social media offensive by mockingly adopting the president’s trademark erratic social media tone.

“Enjoy your flight home, Donald—you’re Putin’s problem now,“ Newsom continued. ”I’m America’s solution.”

His post to the social media site X also included a direct shot at White House Press Secretary Steven Cheung, with whom the governor is currently feuding.

On Thursday, Cheung called Newsom a “coward and beta cuck” for being “too chickens---” to answer press questions, following a speech he made that day.

Newsom’s press team shot back, calling Cheung an “idiot” who “doesn’t know how to use his computer,” accompanying the jab with a video of the nine questions answered.

The latest salvo was ignited following the redistricting crisis in Texas. On Thursday, Newsom announced a special vote in California in November on redistricting in the state that could have significant election implications. The retaliatory vote is aimed at dissuading the Lone Star State and others from proceeding with their plans to alter voting districts in favor of the Republicans.

“Not only is Trump trying to rig the election, he’s trying to ruin democracy,” Newsom said on Friday.

“‘The maps’ will end your presidency, retake Congress for the people, and expose your rigged ‘little game,’” Newsom wrote in his latest attack.

“My ‘perfect maps’ are more beautiful than anything in Trump Tower (which many say smells weird),” Newsom added.
