GOVERNOR Gavin Newsom has made a bizarre attempt to troll rival Donald Trump with a Star Wars spoof video in the midst of their protest spat.
Newsom’s office used a villainous voice to clown the president after he sent federal troops to Los Angeles without the governor’s permission.
The video was posted on Newsom’s office’s social media with the caption, “A once great American city has been occupied!”
In the video, the narrator delivers Trump’s Truth Social updates using an unusual Emperor Palpatine voice, accompanied by scenes of Stormtroopers in formation.
Emperor Palpatine is the primary antagonist in the original Star Wars films and heads the sinister Empire that dismantled the galactic Republic.
Within the post, Trump expressed anger about “illegal aliens and criminals” and blamed “violent insurrectionist mobs” for assaulting the National Guard units deployed to maintain order.
“But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve,” Trump wrote in the statement.
