Gavin Newsom’s Davos detour was as predictable as it was pathetic: the California governor flew to the World Economic Forum determined to grandstand against President Trump, then claimed his USA House appearance was blocked by the White House when organizers canceled the event at the last minute. His office says he was invited by Fortune for a fireside chat meant to rebut Mr. Trump, only to be told the programming no longer “aligned” with the venue’s plans.
This was not statesmanship; it was showbiz politics. Newsom hopped on a plane to Switzerland to trash-talk a sitting president on foreign soil, more interested in headlines and applause from global elites than in tackling the real, grinding problems Californians face at home.
When USA House and Fortune explained the cancellation, they cited logistics and programming — polite code for “we don’t need another partisan spectacle.” The spin from Newsom’s team about White House pressure sounds more like the usual cry of victimhood from a national-ambition Democrat who’s lost the messaging battle.
Meanwhile, Trump and his allies weren’t shy about mocking the stunt, and conservative commentators rightly called out Newsom for jetting off to a foreign forum to bash an America-first president. The idea that you go overseas to posture about domestic politics is unpatriotic and out of touch with ordinary Americans who want results, not Davos drama.
The hypocrisy was on full display when Newsom posed with the global donor class while lecturing ordinary Americans back home. Pictures of the governor cozying up to wealthy elites like Alex Soros at Davos only reinforce the suspicion that these globe-trotting leftists preach for the public but hobnob for themselves.
Let’s be blunt: California is drowning in homelessness, crime, and fiscal irresponsibility, and its governor’s priority was a foreign publicity tour. That tells you everything you need to know about where the left’s loyalties lie — with open-borders donors and transnational elites, not with the hard-working taxpayers who keep this country running.
Hardworking Americans deserve leaders who stay and fight for them, not governors who chase photo ops on the world stage and then whine when the spotlight doesn’t bend to their script. Newsom’s Davos sideshow is a reminder that the swamp still exists, and it’s up to patriotic citizens to drain it at the ballot box.
