That’s because their attempt to relate to regular Americans is obviously forced and not authentic.

Trump, even though wealthy, at least come across appearing to say what he actually believes.

American’s hate inauthenticity above everything else. That is why the endorsement of celebrities for dem politicians has become so ineffective.

Gavin Newsom’s Wife, Jennifer, Raking In As Much As $300K A Year From Political Mega-Donors And Nonprofit: Sources​


The wife of California governor Gavin Newsom runs companies stacked with her husband’s former Democratic aides and confidants — while raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees from the state and lobbyists, according to public records.

Documentary filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the self-described “First Partner” of California, also received donations to her Representation Project nonprofit from companies that lobbied her husband, according to reports.

The Sacramento-based Representation Project, which describes itself as “the leading gender watchdog organization,” pays Siebel Newsom $150,000 a year for a 40-hour work week, according to tax filings.

California governor Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom are leveraging their business and nonprofit alliances for personal gain, according to critics.

Its largest independent contractor is Girls Club Entertainment LLC, a for-profit film company which Siebel Newsom also controls.

In 2024, the nonprofit paid Girls Club $150,000 for “writer/producer/director” services, according to that year’s federal filings.

Government watchdogs have blasted the Newsoms for what they describe as conflicts of interest.

“It is no surprise Gavin and Jennifer Newsom have leveraged their business and non-profit endeavors for personal and political gain,” said Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of Americans for Public Trust, a non-partisan watchdog group.

Documentary filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the self-described “First Partner” of California, also received donations to her Representation Project nonprofit from companies that lobbied her husband, according to reports.

“Backed by left-wing megadonors with ties to the governor, the power couple’s ventures have raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars, pushing a politicized agenda into public schools, all while personally benefiting the Newsoms.

“Profiting from progressive indoctrination is easy when your husband is the governor — a blatant conflict of interest,” Sutherland added.

Huge companies such as AT&T, Comcast and PG&E have bankrolled Representation Project’s annual Flip the Script fundraising galas in the past, donating up to $25,000 each, according to the Sacramento Bee.

The companies denied their donations were designed to curry favor with the governor, and the nonprofit then stopped listing its corporate donors on its website.

AT&T has spent more than $2 million lobbying the state on landline phone rules in 2025, and continues its battle against Comcast for market share in California.

Siebel Newsom has been dogged by allegations of conflicts of interest after stacking her nonprofit with her husband’s confidants and advisors.

Watchdogs are also concerned about the cozy nature between the Newsoms, donors and former staffers.

The U.S. Supreme Court has handed a major defeat to California’s climate radicals, and even one liberal justice joined the conservative wing to make it happen.

At the heart of the case is the state’s requirement that electric vehicles dominate the market by 2035, part of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to force California into “carbon neutrality.”

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, writing for the majority, made it clear these mandates are not just heavy-handed but potentially illegal.

This actually happened.

2022 - California Governor Gavin Newsom announces that California has the biggest state budget surplus in American history.

Newsom: "No other state in American history has ever experienced a surplus as large as this.

"Gavin proposed returning some of the money to the people. With everything being so unaffordable in California, people were happy to be getting a few dollars back from the state. The only problem? It was all a lie.

The $97.5 billion surplus was a four year projection that Newsom's people based on faulty revenue assumptions.

In 2024 Newsom's team quietly put out a revision that said the 2022 projection of a $97.5 billion surplus was off by $165 billion.

The biggest surplus in American history was actually a massive deficit.

Absolutely on par for Gavin Newsom.
