Newsom's 'American Psycho' comparison to himself backfires in attempt to lampoon Trump

The Trump War Room went viral on Monday afternoon for sharing a past side-by-side photo of Trump and rock star Elvis Presley's faces, one where Trump had written, "For so many years people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike. Now, this pic has been going all over the place. What do you think?"

Many online accounts pounced on the comparison, however, given the unbalanced nature of Bateman's serial killer, Wall Street character who's meant to satirize 1980s yuppie culture and consumerism. 

"I think yes, you are a psychopath," writer Bridget Phetasy retorted.

The Trump War Room account responded with what appears to be a heavily photoshopped side-by-side comparison featuring Ellen DeGeneres and a photo illustration that appears to have fused Newsom with DeGeneres.

Actor Kevin Sorbo argued that Newsom more resembles another character from the same film, quipping, "You remind me more of Paul Allen. Rich, entitled, and always pushing down the little guy."

The official X account of the Republican Party responded by sharing a photo comparison of Newsom with the eponymous "Butthead" from "Beavis and Butthead."

When Fox News Digital contacted Newsom's office to see if they would like to respond to many of the above critiques, one member of his press team quipped, "Many people say he also looks like Elvis!"
