Gavin Newsom traveled all the way across the pond to attack President Donald J. Trump on the world stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, but had the rug yanked out from under him when an appearance was abruptly canceled.
The California governor had been invited to speak at a “fireside chat” hosted by media sponsor Fortune, but the Democrat interloper’s audition for the globalists didn’t work out as anticipated after he was denied entry to the USA House, the official U.S. pavilion at Davos.
Newsom wasted no time playing the victim with his trash-talking team at the Governor Newsom Press Office X account, claiming that the Trump administration was responsible for denying the 2028 Democrat frontrunner a forum to attack the president while he was overseas.
BREAKING: Under pressure from the White House and State Department, USA House (a church acting as the official US pavilion) is now denying entry to @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom to speak with media after Fortune — the official media partner — invited him to speak.

“Under pressure from the White House and State Department, USA House (a church acting as the official US pavilion) is now denying entry to @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom to speak with media after Fortune — the official media partner — invited him to speak,” the account said in a Wednesday post.
According to its website: “USA House operates a small number of marquee venues along the Promenade, including penthouses and historic locations inside and adjacent to the security zone, selected for their suitability for senior-level conversations in a discreet and secure setting.”
Newsom himself also whined about it, posturing as the tough guy that he will never be.
How weak and pathetic do you have to be to be this scared of a fireside chat? https://t.co/esUCsDaYcw

The White House shot back at the oily interloper, calling Newsom a “third-rate governor” who should be focused on dealing with the problems in his home state instead of “frolicking around Switzerland.”
“No one in Davos knows who third-rate governor Newscum (sic) is or why he is frolicking around Switzerland instead of fixing the many problems he created in California,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told the New York Post in a statement.
It wasn’t a completely wasted trip for the attention-seeking Newsom, though, as he exported Democrat vulgarity abroad by breaking out the “Trump-signature kneepads” during another Davos event.

Is this guy freaking serious?
He says TRUMP is the immature one?

The disgraceful governor also smeared dedicated Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) professionals and the military in front of a foreign audience.
Gavin Newsom smears America’s law enforcement and military on the world stage.

“Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken, may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said of Newsom during remarks at Davos, a reference to the “American Psycho” character.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Scott Bessent just PUMMELED Gavin Newsom in Davos
“He’s here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros!” 🔥

“I was told he was asked to give a speech on his signature policies, but he’s not speaking,” Bessent added, “because what have his economic policies brought? Outward migration from California, a gigantic budget deficit, and the largest homeless population in America.”
