California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said the governor was denied entry into a venue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21, after being invited to speak at the event due to “pressure” from the Trump administration.
Newsom had been scheduled to speak with Fortune at the USA House, Davos, a privately organized event, at the World Economic Forum, which has been recognized by the U.S. government as the nation’s headquarters in Davos.
Clown governor getting the standard Trump pimp slap.
This man is never going to be president if Donald Trump can bully him so easily
Oh no, the guy who hates the homeless, trans, and podcasts with Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro might not be president?
It’s almost worse than him hating homeless and trans people. He doesn’t give a single shit about them. He’ll do whatever he thinks will get him votes. He’ll talk shit about trans people one day and talk about how he wants to protect them the next. I’m convinced that he doesn’t have a single belief that he wouldn’t give up to be the Democratic nominee in 2028, if we even have elections then. Nothing that comes out of his mouth is worth listening to.
Exactly, the problem isn’t even what he has give up to be the nominee and win, it’s what he’s going to do once he’s in office and doesn’t have to pretend to appease voters. He’s basically JD Vance with mask on and better PR
Newsom would be a categorically awful pick for president. Being better than orangeboi is a very, very low bar.
And this of course also assumes we’re still having elections at that point - let alone this year.
He blocked RCV so forever on my naughty list
No idea why you’re being downvoted. Likely the Liberal Mob with the “he’s better than what we’ve got” mentality.
Newsom might be good at trolling Trump, but he’s a garbage Neolib dick-weasel.
I think Newsom has a mob that idolises seeing him do theatrical owns of MAGA and confuses that with having a plan or substance and I think they see criticism of that as not fighting enough against MAGA
I don’t know how you see his soundbites at Davos and don’t notice they are for domestic US voters and have no substance besides a performative campaign akin to Trump’s strongman
I like to refer to the folks that believe in him (and people like him) as Blue MAGA.
I’m not a fan of Gavin since he’s just a run of the mill neoliberal, but I think it’s silly to characterize this as his getting bullied, the USA House was the one that caved in this instance.
I would argue that this strengthens his campaign. Puts him in the spotlight more than if he had spoken.
Imagining you saying this while wearing a big “Pokemon Go To The Polls” T-shirt
He’s gonna save America from Trump! I can smell the “liberating” narratives already, lol. Then shit will continue going down the drain and the Confederates/Republicans/Conservatives/MAGA will be upset and in some years you’ll have an already popular MAGA dude run for president and win, and it goes on and on. Maybe the Democrats will sprinkle some seasoning and have a brown “Muslim” dude or black woman president then, which will only annoy racist MAGA even more, making the next Republican candidate very popular and etc.
That’s what we do best! Cycles so cyclical ouroboros is jealous
As long as Trump gets comeuppance I don’t care who does it.
What do you want him to do, force himself in to speak? I’m not a fan of the guy but I don’t understand what he’s supposed to do here
You still haven’t articulated how he’s the one being bullied and not USA house, but ok.
