California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced plans to launch a meme coin called “Trump Corruption Coin” as a satirical jab at former President Donald Trump. Newsom made this announcement during an appearance on the Pivot podcast, where he described Trump’s political tactics as being ‘jaw-dropping.’ The governor’s intention is to use humor and mockery to highlight the absurdity of Trump’s actions in politics. “,he continued by stating that his aim is to use the coin as a mirror reflecting the current political landscape, “It’s comical and yet normalized in a way that isn’t even critiqued in the extreme right.” Newsom believes this satirical approach will bring attention to the outlandish nature of contemporary politics. Newsom further revealed his intention to challenge Trump directly by launching a rival coin in hopes that it would surpass the President’s “Trump Coin” in popularity.
