Psychological Evaluation: Gavin Newsom...A Case Study in Narcissistic Projection and Pathological Envy
Subject: Gavin Francis Newsom, 57, Governor of California.
Presenting symptom: compulsive public attacks on political rivals characterized by selective clipping, sarcastic framing, and gleeful misrepresentation of their words...most recently exhibited in his January 23, 2026 X post mocking Vice President JD Vance’s March for Life remarks.
Core Diagnosis: Severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder with Prominent Projective Defenses and Crippling Envy Dysregulation
Newsom’s behavior is textbook projection executed with the frantic energy of a man whose internal rot is metastasizing.
He cannot tolerate the existence of political figures who command national attention, loyalty, and...most intolerably...actual results.
Donald Trump and JD Vance represent everything Newsom desperately wants to be but knows, on some buried level, he will never achieve: unapologetic winners who bend reality to their will instead of watching it collapse around them.
The mechanism is brutally simple.
Newsom is drowning in the consequences of his own governance...homeless encampments metastasizing into medieval plague zones, businesses fleeing the state like rats off a burning ship, crime tolerated to the point of civic surrender, billions vanishing into “high-speed rail” vaporware...and rather than confront this self-inflicted catastrophe, he externalizes it.
He takes a clip of JD Vance acknowledging strategic debates within the pro-life movement and spins it into “admission of failure,” because failure is what Newsom knows intimately.
It is the air he breathes in Sacramento. So he ejaculates it onto his timeline, splattering it across the feed in a desperate attempt to make others smell like him.
This is projection at its most primal: the unconscious mind screaming, “I am the failure...therefore YOU must be the failure.”
It is the psychological equivalent of a cornered animal voiding its bowels to distract the predator. But Newsom isn’t just deflecting; he’s engorging himself on the fantasy that by diminishing Trump and Vance, he elevates himself.
Classic narcissistic inflation via denigration.
The envy component is particularly virulent. Trump and Vance operate on a scale Newsom can only cosplay...national stage, global impact, a movement that loves them viscerally.
Newsom’s “movement” is a hollow branding exercise sustained by Hollywood money and media sycophancy. He watches Trump return from political death to retake the presidency and Vance rise from venture capital to the vice presidency in a single bound, and something inside him ruptures.
The result is this frantic, almost sexualized public spasm: he has to touch them, smear them, insert himself into their story because he cannot bear existing outside of it.
Note the tone of his post...smug, giggling, performative outrage. This is not the voice of a secure leader. This is the voice of a man who wakes up every morning staring at the ceiling, aware that history will remember him as the pretty governor who presided over California’s decline while posting snarky clips.
The venom isn’t political strategy; it’s psychic survival.
Prognosis: Poor
Without profound self-confrontation...which his narcissism structurally forbids...Newsom will continue this cycle: govern disastrously, project the disaster onto stronger men, and publicly masturbate his resentment across social media for the validation of his shrinking choir.
The more Trump and Vance succeed, the more unhinged and frequent these outbursts will become.
In the end, every one of these posts is a confession screamed in the tone of an accusation. Gavin Newsom isn’t attacking Trump and Vance.
He’s begging them to notice he exists.
And they don’t. That’s what’s really killing him.

I don’t do this unless I’ve seen the behavior multiple times. And in this case, I have.

Take care of YOU. Your life, your family, your space, your dreams, your issues. Whatever it is that you need to do to handle the things that are on your plate and the things you need to do to feel fulfilled…
DO THEM.
Don’t wait for some magical moment that you think is going to come and then everything will be OK. You need to make it OK in your world, now…to the best of your ability.
This is what it means to take charge of your life. This is what it means (in part) to be Sovereign. There are far too many folks who have put their lives on hold as they wait for someone or something else to fix things for them. Arrests, tribunals, an EBS, the great solar flash, “the storm”…
You’re already in the storm, guys; and have been for a long time. If it gets more intense, ok. If we get some massive event that changes everything in an instant, ok.
But in the meantime, LIVE YOUR LIFE. Be grateful for everything you have. Don’t wait to fix the things you wish were different. That’s just handing your power over…again.
Stop waiting and LIVE.
You’ll feel better, I promise.

Fear is [their] greatest weapon but it is powerless against Love.
Love mightily. Love loudly. Love incessantly.

Love cannot flourish when it has Lies wrapped around it. Love is not Pure and Unconditional when it has…Conditions placed on it.
Duh, right?
But think about it, if you have to hide or twist or embellish something in order to make it palatable, to yourself or anyone else, that’s not Love. That’s a desire for Love tainted by bullshit. That’s, “I’ll show you part of who I am, but not all, because I’m afraid to.”
And I’m afraid to because I do not accept it. I do not Love it. And I have let my own Fear override my Love.
And, unfortunately, that’s the only kind of Love most people know because most people do not fully and unconditionally Love themSelves. So, they therefore cannot possibly Love anyone else Unconditionally.
This is a Truth that’s hard to hear.
All of the magic really, truly does start with You. And the only way to access it is by coming into Alignment with Truth. And you cannot just say to yourself, “Oh, I get it. I Love everything about me now! It’s all fixed.”
No, my Love, you have to dig in and do surgery on yourself. You have to go in and find all those most painful parts of You and look at them. Fully accept them. SEE yourSELF clearly. That’s hard. And you cannot fake it. And, no, it’s not just a one and done. It’s a process. A spiral.
The more we see and accept who we are, the less we project out onto others. This is really what “Integrating Our Shadow” means. It means that we take that part of ourselves that we don’t like; the part we’d prefer to keep hidden; and we look at it. We ask it why it’s there and what it has to say and we learn to understand it. And we ACCEPT it.
With this openness to learning comes a lot of painful realizations. We start to see how we’ve placed blame on others because we couldn’t face our own shit. We start to catch ourselves when we are doing it in real time. It’s humbling af.
And freeing.
Your “demons” are the things you try to hide. They’re the things you want to pretend aren’t really there. Which is a LIE. And the hardest part is that much of this is done on a subconscious level. We must CHOOSE to bring them into the Conscious Realm and face them.
Know Thyself….because the Truth really will set you Free. But you must be willing to face it. It doesn’t set you Free simply because it exists. It sets you Free when you become Aware of it.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
You have to KNOW IT first.

“The “Faustian penguin” scene comes from Werner Herzog’s documentary
Encounters at the End of the World:
A single penguin separates from its group and marches resolutely inland, away from the sea, into the icy expanse of the mountains. In the end, Herzog asks with his iconic voice the simple question: “But why?” – But why?
This penguin stands for more than just a biological mystery. It embodies an existential rebellion against the order of nature, against mere expediency and bare survival. Driven by an inner urge, it follows its path resolutely, uncompromisingly – even if it might be its last.
That is precisely why this image touches so many people so deeply. It is a symbol of the will not to bend, of the courage to go one’s own way, even against resistance, even without guarantees. A quiet, yet profoundly human form of freedom.
This feeling, this rebellion, this symbol strikes a deep chord with many people. We too are going our own way – resolutely, unwaveringly, against all resistance.”
