Gavin Newsom's press office mocks Trump's Grammy tirade with 'participation prize' jab

Gavin Newsom's Press Office has released a mocking statement over Donald Trump's comments on the Grammy Awards.

The president made his distaste for this year's music awards show known with a lengthy Truth Social post earlier today. Governor of California Newsom's press office

A statement written in capital letters, posted to Governor Newsom's Press Office X account, reads, "I can't believe very talented artists like Kid Rock and Nicki Minaj were snubbed again and will be walking home with zero (0) Grammys.

"The haters will say they are 'trash' artists who are just desperate for attention. Wrong!!! They are okay artists who are desperate for attention. Their recent PR 'performances' are strong enough to earn a participation prize at minimum.

"Because the Grammys failed, I will be awarding Kid and Nicki the California Music Participation Peace Prize (at the Newsom Kennedy Center), a very prestigious award decided by my 'peace' board, which I alone appoint. This restores fairness to music. Thank you for your attention to this matter. - Governor GCN."

The mocking statement from Newsom's Press Office comes shortly after Trump made his own post to Truth Social criticizing Trevor Noah and suggesting his legal team may get involved over a joke about Epstein's Island.

Trump wrote, "The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable! CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer. The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards. Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island.

"WRONG!!! I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media. Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast.

"It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus, and others, how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you! President DJT."
