Governor Gavin Newsom poked fun at former President Donald Trump’s recently announced “Board of Peace” with a witty jab on social media. Sharing a quote from a critic, Newsom quipped, “Fixed it. It only costs $1 billion for a lifetime Porcelain Membership.”
The joke comes after Adam Schwarz highlighted what many have noted about Trump’s board logo: it bears a striking resemblance to the United Nations emblem but with a golden twist—and a map that seems to show only the United States. Critics have called the branding “over-the-top” and self-centered, suggesting it reflects the former president’s flair for spectacle more than global diplomacy.
Fixed it.

Newsom’s sarcastic remark reflects broader skepticism among political commentators and the public over the board’s purpose and effectiveness. While Trump has called it “one of the most consequential bodies” for international peace efforts, many observers remain doubtful about its real-world impact.
The playful jab from California’s governor adds to a growing chorus of voices questioning both the board’s legitimacy and its flashy presentation, leaving social media buzzing with reactions ranging from laughter to disbelief.
