It is truly a rare day when President Donald J. Trump gets praised by a Democrat, and even more so when it comes from California Gov. Gavin Newsom.<\/p>\n

The outgoing Golden State governor and 2028 White House hopeful said that he is \u201centhusiastic\u201d about Trump accounts, the Republican leader\u2019s initiative that created investment accounts for children under 18, with the federal government depositing $1,000 into accounts for babies born during the president\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n

In remarks during a Friday news conference in San Francisco, the oily politician broke character with his props for the POTUS and encouraging California parents to sign their kids up for the accounts named after Trump, whom he has likened<\/a> to Hitler.<\/p>\n

\n

I encourage everyone to sign up for BOTH CalKIDS and Trump Accounts.<\/p>\n

This is your child\u2019s money, and everyone should take advantage of these programs. pic.twitter.com\/gMW4rPBhKq<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Governor Gavin Newsom (@CAgovernor) August 21, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI\u2019m enthusiastic about encouraging people to get a Trump account,\u201d Newsom said. \u201cI think it\u2019s incredibly important.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u201cIt\u2019s one of the best things he\u2019s done,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the best things Ted Cruz has done\u2026,\u201d doling out more bipartisan praise to the GOP senator from Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s direct. It\u2019s tangible. It\u2019s results oriented,\u201d Newsom continued. \u201cIt\u2019s not lost in bureaucracy. You can see it, taste it, feel it. You\u2019re making a difference directly to the next generation. You\u2019re giving them hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

The praise was truly out of character for the governor who has spent years seeking to appeal to the rabid Democrat base with his antagonism toward Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid something happen to Newsom?\u201d Asked one pro-Trump X account.<\/p>\n

\n

Newsom: \u201cI am enthusiastic about encouraging people to get a Trump account. It\u2019s one of the best things he\u2019s done. Take advantage of this\u2026 It means something for your kid. We want to encourage everybody out there to take advantage of this program.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/EGgq8fYzyR<\/a><\/p>\n

Wait, are you admitting Trump did something good?<\/p>\n

Now you\u2019ve betrayed the Democratic party by encouraging the kids parents to get Trump account\u2019s. \"\ud83d\ude06\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so we\u2019re here to encourage people to take advantage of this, to not fall prey to the politics or the cynicism or maybe even the fear that if I download a Trump account, somehow that means something. It doesn\u2019t,\u201d Newsom said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just means something for your kid. It\u2019s not Trump\u2019s money. It\u2019s your child\u2019s money. And so we want to encourage everybody out there to take advantage of this program,\u201d the governor added.<\/p>\n
