Newsom’s Davos detour: 5 cringe moments that overshadowed the high-profile summit
This feels like a quiet policy shift.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom jetted to Switzerland recently for the World Economic Forum and used the global stage to take aim at the Trump administration, a move that quickly spawned a string of viral moments and mockery.
Trump administration officials and the president himself converged on Davos, Switzerland, to meet with global government and business leaders to discuss the economy at large, and as President Donald Trump upped the ante on pressuring European leaders to ink a deal for the U.S. to acquire Greenland.

"Look, a year ago we should have been having this conversation, and they didn't. And now you're paying the price — exactly what any one objective observer would have anticipated we'd be where we are today."
Video of his remarks quickly spread across social media, generating millions of views as MAGA supporters scratched their heads over the remarks or mocked Newsom for what critics called an "odd" or "vivid" or "bizarre MELTDOWN" online.
Commentator Stephen A. Smith slammed Newsom for taking shots at Trump while on foreign soil, arguing the "America first" mentality should transcend domestic political differences while on a world stage.
"I have no problem with Gavin Newsom being candid and open about his feelings about our president on United States soil. To go over to another country, Switzerland, to go over there and to be in the presence of other …
