Saying that trump is slobbering on Putin's cock is not automatically homophobic, unless you think a dude giving another dude a blowjob is inherently degrading for the blowjob-giver? The point is that trump is pleasuring Putin, and they're both cis men, so presumably trump isn't going to be sucking on Putin's clit... Would you rather people say Trump is rimming Putin's asshole, as that is less specific to what genetals people have?
My read on Newsom is that he's meeting the American public where (he thinks) they're at, as well as showing how trump's "he tells it like it is" memetics are not exclusive to trump. He's breaking their pattern-matching so they can't immediately shut their brain off and agree as soon as they detect this style of rhetoric, hopefully forcing them to engage more with the specifics of what is being said than just the mere tone.
