In a move that has Twitter laughing and MAGA fans fuming, California Governor Gavin Newsom turned a viral trend of “sleepy Trump” photos into a full-blown meme offensive. The governor’s office dropped a side-by-side collage of Trump nodding off during public appearances, captioned
“Presidential Walk of Fatigue” — a clever twist on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. To top it off, Trump was dubbed “Dozy Don”, finally giving the former president a nickname worthy of his viral nap moments.
The internet exploded. One X/Twitter user quipped, “Dozy Don finally lives up to the hype — the nation’s least alert leader gets his own tour!” Another wrote, “Finally, someone memes Trump instead of him memeing everyone else.”
Meanwhile, analysts pointed out the meme cuts deeper than humor: it underscores public questions about Trump’s energy and alertness in office, turning a simple yawn into a political statement.
Not everyone is laughing. MAGA supporters slammed Newsom, calling the move “disrespectful and juvenile,” while meme enthusiasts declared it a masterstroke of modern political satire. The meme has already been shared millions of times, proving once again that in the age of social media, no politician is safe from viral mockery — not even a former president.
As Newsom’s playful jab shows, political memes aren’t just entertainment; they’re a weaponized commentary on leadership, alertness, and the absurdity of public life. After all, in today’s politics, a nap can be just as newsworthy as a policy proposal.
