“The President of the United States just posted this. Do you think he’s lost it?” the caption read.
But the Commander-in-Chief predictably didn’t waste time in hitting back by sharing an image of a mock California license plate reading “NEW-SCM,” featuring Newsom in the middle depicted in a zombie-like state.
The post racked up more than 135,000 views after Newsom’s press office reposted the dig and wrote, “Even a Zombie Newscum still looks healthier than our current President. #PrayersforGrandpa.”
The online row is just the latest in a long-running war of words between the two political heavyweights.

In January, Trump blasted Newsom as a “Lame Duck” making a “mockery of himself” on the world stage during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Trump accused Newsom of prioritizing international attention while California continued to battle crime, drought, and wildfire devastation.
Trump blasted: “He should finish his monstrously ‘over budget and behind schedule’ Railroad, from San Francisco to L.A., one of the Greatest Public Disasters in History, and focus on stopping Crime in the streets of California Cities — Then finish out his term, and GO HOME!”
The White House also previously said Newsom should “stop undermining the United States on the world stage” and focus on fixing his “broken” home state.
Newsom, meanwhile, has continued firing back, with his press office calling Trump a “deranged, habitual liar” and mocking his “little fingers” after the president launched a fraud investigation into California.

In March, the governor accused the president of not caring about American troops killed in the military strikes.
During a conversation at Wilshire Ebell Theater in Los Angeles, Newsom claimed Trump cares more about his new drapes inside the White House than he does about dead soldiers.
On Monday, March 2, during a ceremony to honor three Army soldiers, Trump quickly got distracted and instead focused on the interior of the White House’s East Wing.
“See that nice drape? When that comes down, right now you see a very, very deep hole, but in about a year and a half from now, you’re gonna see a very, very beautiful building,” the 79-year-old boasted.
He added: “And there’s your entrance to it right there,” while pointing to the gold curtains behind him.

“In fact, I think I’ll save money on the doors because you can’t get more beautiful than that,” Trump continued. “I picked those drapes in my first term. I always liked gold, but I think we can save a lot of money. I just saved curtains.”
Trump, still head over heels for his gold curtains, added, “It’ll be spectacular, it’ll be the most beautiful ballroom. I believe it’s because I’ve built many a ballroom. I believe it’s going to be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world…”
The controversial politician’s rant left rival Newsom feeling sick, as he reacted, “He mentioned (the soldiers) in passing and then went on to mention in great detail the drapes, and the imperial palace, on the East Wing that he’s building.”

Newsom accused Trump of not having a clear plan on Iran.
Newsom suggested the moment went “to the heart of who (Trump) is,” and revealed the president doesn’t have a clear plan moving forward in Iran.
“I hope it’s dawning on everybody. He had no plan, no strategy,” Newsom added during the talk on Tuesday, March 3.
Just a day earlier, had torn into his rival during a press conference, raging, “Four service members died today, and Donald Trump spent more time talking about his ballroom than he did talking about the loss of those lives. Review the tape.”
