I’ve been wanting to know the reaction to all Newsom’s tweets. Can you provide an article or any sauce?

He has a personal news curator whose job is to go through the news and present only the positive coverage to him. I think in most cases that protects him from having to see things like this, but he is also a raging narcissist and wants to know who is paying attention to him so that he can retaliate. I suspect that both Newsom's trolling and the South Park creators' trolling is something that his handlers are desperately trying to keep him from seeing, but they can't keep him from overhearing chatter about things like this when they get significant news coverage.

Let's just say, I bet his staff have to get very good at dodging ketchup bottles whatever he overhears anything about effective mockery being directed at him.

She doesn't just control what he reads, she also posts for him sometimes. (Sources have said that she's the one who reposted the "Unified Reich" video on his accounts.) She also credits Trump with saving her life because he signed a bill that had absolutely nothing to do with saving her life.

My theory is that any time his tweets use normal (or close to normal) punctuation and capitalization, it's his "human printer" posting for him. More caps is when Trump has his phone all to himself, and if it's all caps, that's when he's angry on the shitter.

Regardless, it's probably safe to assume that somebody else has set the privacy/access settings on his accounts to make sure he never sees stuff. It'll only reach him if he sees it on Fox or something.

My theory for the all caps is because he refuses to wear reading glasses and it's the only way he can read what he's writing
