In what was meant to be a simple jab, former President Donald Trump claimed Americans now need a “185 IQ” just to start a lawnmower.

Instead of landing a hit, the comment handed California Governor Gavin Newsom the perfect opening for a viral comeback.

Newsom responded by sharing an infamous photo of Trump online, instantly humiliating the former president. Trump, visibly rattled, told Newsom to “shut up” and slapped him with a derisive nickname.

The exchange quickly flipped the narrative, leaving Trump silent while Newsom emerged as the clear victor in the online showdown.

Political commentators note this as yet another example of Trump miscalculating the impact of his attacks on social media.
