California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered a savage response to the White House’s social media post featuring an image of President Donald Trump and King Charles III captioned “TWO KINGS.”

The official White House X account shared a photo of the two leaders laughing Tuesday on the South Lawn of the White House during the second day of Charles and Queen Camilla’s state visit.

The post was captioned: “TWO KINGS,” complete with a crown emoji. However, Newsom’s Press Office Account on X was quick to suggest how he would have captioned it.

“One is the King of the U.K. and the other is the King of Bulls***,” Newsom’s Press Office account on X wrote, while resharing the image.

“No Kings” protests against Trump have sprung up across the country, drawing in massive crowds rallying against what they see as the president’s authoritarianism.

The image was shared as Charles delivered an historic address to a joint meeting of Congress. The monarch drew applause and even received a standing ovation after noting that the United Kingdom’s Declaration of Rights of 1689 served as inspiration for the American Bill of Rights, while emphasizing the importance of checks and balances on leaders.

“Our Declaration of Rights of 1689 was not only the foundation of our constitutional Monarchy, but also provided the source of so many of the principles reiterated — often verbatim — in the American Bill of Rights of 1791,” he said.

“And those roots go even further back in our history: the U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.”

The Magna Carta, established in 1215 by King John, asserts that everyone — including Kings — is subject to the law of the land.

While Trump has previously referred to himself as a King, including after striking down congestion pricing in New York last year, he rejected the title during an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday.

“I’m not a King, if I was a King, I wouldn’t be dealing with you,” he said told reporter Norham O’Donnell.
