California Gov. Gavin Newsom has found yet another way to troll President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies: selling Bibles online for $100 — which is Newsom's way of making of making fun of "Trump Bibles."

Although Fox News pundits weren't offended by "Trump Bibles," some of them are deeply offended by Newsom's latest trolling campaign. Newsom is selling the Bibles via his online store, the Patriot Shop.

Dana Perrino and Will Cain were among the angry Fox News hosts.

Cain told viewers, "He seems to have found ground, legs with the left by mocking President Trump. Like the ChatGPT personality, he's just borrowing now from President Trump, copying his style with X post, now he's even going for his own MAGA style merch."

Perino said of Newsom, "You have to stop it with the Twitter thing," and complained about his "performative, confrontational style" — which, she said, only "wins you points with the loony radical base."

Newsom's latest trolling campaign and Fox News' angry responses to it are generating a lot of discussion on X, formerly Twitter.

The Monterey County Republican Party posted, "Gavin Newsom's signed Bible sold out at 0, because the ones he touched kept burning his skin. Sick sick man."

Politico's Christopher Cadelago observed, "A trolling Gavin Newsom is selling a holy bible along with other MAGA-inspired merch — and the $100 bible is already sold out."

X user William Dupont commented, "Just when I think Newsom’s trolling can’t get any better."

Another X user, Valentina Gomez Stan, told Trump supporters, "Trump literally sold a bible slapped with him name on it. You do realize Newson is imitating Trump right?"

Cindy Howard called out MAGA's inconsistency as well, posting, "This bugs you? It would great of you ONLY if you thought Donald Trump peddling his bibles for 60.00 was equally as awful. Because it is awful. Newsom is mocking grifting…. Trump. That's it."
