Gavin Newsom's war of words with Donald Trump goes global at forum
It appears California Gov. Gavin Newsom is taking his war of words and online squabbling with President Donald Trump from the United States to a worldwide stage in Davos, Switzerland.
On the fourth day of the World Economic Forum on Jan. 22, Newsom repeatedly aimed at Trump during a 30-minute talk, calling the president's actions not normal.
Newsom said the U.S. is witnessing corruption under Trump at a scale this country has never seen before, and is trying to "take him down" and the state of California. The governor also said he believes Trump is weaponizing institutions like the FBI and the Justice Department against his enemies, such as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, as well as personally profiting off his presidency reportedly to the tune of nearly $1.5 billion.

Newsom shows off knee pads for CEOs 'selling out' to the Trump administration
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday showed off knee pads that he suggested were for leaders "selling out" to the Trump administration.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Newsom said the red knee pads were available to buy via a website he had created.
"The last round of knee pads sold out, just as our law firms are selling out. Many American universities are selling out, and yes, many corporate leaders are selling out to this administration," Newsom said.
"These are available in bulk, too," he said, holding up one of the knee pads, which showed U.S. President Donald Trump's signature.
