GOVERNOR Gavin Newsom has made a bizarre attempt to troll rival Donald Trump with a Star Wars spoof video in the midst of their protest spat.
Newsom’s office used a villainous voice to clown the president after he sent federal troops to Los Angeles without the governor’s permission.
The video was posted on Newsom’s office’s social media with the caption, “A once great American city has been occupied!”
The video shows the narrator reciting Trump’s Truth Social messages while mimicking Emperor Palpatine, with scenes of Stormtroopers marching in the background.
Emperor Palpatine is the primary antagonist in the original Star Wars films and the figurehead of the malevolent Empire that deposed the interstellar Republic.
Within his post, Trump expressed anger towards “illegal aliens and criminals” and pointed fingers at “violent insurrectionist mobs” for allegedly assaulting the National Guard forces deployed to maintain order.
“But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve,” Trump wrote in the statement.
The president vowed to employ Krisi Noem, Pete Hegseth, and Pam Bondi to “liberate Los Angeles from the migrant invasion, and put an end to these migrant riots.”
“Order will be restored, the illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free.”
Newsom and Trump have been engaging in a heated war of words ever since the president got involved with the protests over ICE raids.
Over the weekend, furious demonstrators took to the streets to criticize Trump’s immigration crackdown, which has seen border and customs agents arresting immigrants at their jobs and in their homes.
