California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has continued to troll the president through his Press Office social media account, which mimics Donald Trump’s own speaking and posting style as as a form of satire against the administration.

Most recently, Newsom brutally mocked the White House’s claim that Trump is in “excellent health” after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) called for the release of Trump’s MRI results.

Mimicking the hyperbolic language Trump consistently uses to praise himself and his administration, Newsom posted a fake letter from a “Dr. Dolittle” to declare that the governor is “the healthiest human currently alive or recorded in medical history.”

“His cardiovascular scans are the best we’ve ever recorded,” the letter went on, adding that “his arteries were described as ‘shimmering,’ and his resting heart rate was so steady the EKG machine asked if he was “meditating or just naturally enlightened.”

The letter than compared Newsom directly to Trump, saying that unlike the president, Newsom “completes full workdays without falling asleep in meetings, does not require ‘executive time’ to lie down and watch TV during work hours, and is able to stand upright without looking like the leaning Tower of Pisa.”

Concerns over Trump’s health have risen in recent weeks. His niece, Mary Trump, emphasized in a recent video that her uncle is not doing well – and that even diehard Republicans can no longer ignore his obvious physical and mental decline.

“Donald is 79 years old and a deeply unhealthy person,” she said.
