GOVERNOR Gavin Newsom has made a bizarre attempt to troll rival Donald Trump with a Star Wars spoof video in the midst of their protest spat.

Newsom’s office used a villainous voice to clown the president after he sent federal troops to Los Angeles without the governor’s permission.

Newsom’s press office shared the video on X with the caption, “A once great American city has been occupied!”

In the clip, the narrator reads out Trump’s Truth Social posts with a strange impression of Emperor Palpatine as cuts of Stormtroopers marching play in the background.

Palpatine is the ultimate villain of the original Star Wars movie series and the leader of the evil Empire, which overthrew the intergalactic Republic.

In the post, Trump fumed over “illegal aliens and criminals” and accused “violent insurrectionist mobs” of attacking the National Guard troops sent to keep the peace.

“But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve,” Trump wrote in the statement.

The president vowed to employ Krisi Noem, Pete Hegseth, and Pam Bondi to “liberate Los Angeles from the migrant invasion, and put an end to these migrant riots.”

“Order will be restored, the illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free.”

The clip was originally published by a self-described moderate TikToker with the caption, “How it feels reading the Presidents new post on Truth Social.”

Newsom and Trump have been engaging in a heated war of words ever since the president got involved with the protests over his administration’s ICE raids.

Over the weekend, furious demonstrators took to the streets to criticize Trump’s immigration crackdown, which has seen border and customs agents arresting immigrants at their jobs and in their homes.

Trump has stood by his administration’s work and maintained that many of the people deported were violent criminals dodging the law.

The president sent troops out of fear that local law enforcement couldn’t keep citizens safe, but Newsom insisted they didn’t need federal help.

After the troops were deployed, the state of California sued Trump and accused him of violating the 10th Amendment, which enforces a division between federal and state powers.

In one of his latest searing statements, Newsom accused the president of telling a bold-faced lie while chatting with reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

Trump said that he had called Newsom the day prior to tell him to do a “better job.”

“He’s doing a bad job. Causing a lot of death and a lot of potential death,” Trump said in the Oval Office.

“If we didn’t send out the National Guard […] Los Angeles would be burning right now.”

But Newsom quickly hit back on X to say, “There was no call. Not even a voicemail.”

“Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn’t even know who he’s talking to.”
