GAVIN NEWSOM: TROLLING DOESN’T STOP AT THE WATER’S EDGE. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) took his campaign for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination to Europe this week. That sort of thing has happened before. In the summer of 2008, then-Sen. Barack Obama, who had not yet won the Democratic nomination, held a huge rally in Berlin, plus stops in London and Paris, during which he acted as if he had already been elected president, even though that was still a few months away.

Newsom’s trip to Europe, to the annual World Economic Forum talkfest in Davos, Switzerland, wasn’t like that. The governor traveled the nearly 6,000 miles from Sacramento to Davos, mostly to troll President Donald Trump. 

Of course, Newsom did not say, “I have traveled 6,000 miles to troll Donald Trump.” Instead, he justified his presence at the World Economic Forum by noting that California is the “fourth-largest economy in the world” and, economically speaking, Californians “punch above our weight.”
