California Gov. Gavin Newsom, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump who has been trolling the president through mocking mimicry online, indicated during remarks on Wednesday that he is poised to release a "coin" on his online shop that features Trump-trolling merchandise.
Trump has previously promoted a Trump cryptocurrency meme coin, and Newsom made the comment after recalling talking to Trump "about his crypto grift."
"I think we'll add a coin," he said adding, perhaps a "Trump corruption coin or something."
