Gavin Newsom for remarks he made at the World Economic Forum in Davos, arguing that his anti\u2011Trump rhetoric reflects &#8220;Trump Derangement syndrome&#8221; and political grandstanding. The article recounts Newsom&#8217;s calls for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/weak-government-complicit-media-silicon-valley-are-torching-america\/\" title=\"Weak Government, Complicit Media, Silicon Valley Are Torching America\">european leaders<\/a> to &#8220;stop being complicit,&#8221; his quips about bringing &#8220;kneepads,&#8221; and his description of President Trump as a &#8220;T\u2011Rex,&#8221; &#8220;wrecking ball,&#8221; and &#8220;unhinged.&#8221; It faults Newsom for offering no concrete advice on how Europe should deal with Trump (despite nominally addressing greenland) and portrays his comments as aimed at domestic Democratic audiences and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nikki-haley-is-running-for-president-heres-what-you-need-to-know\/\" title=\"Nikki Haley Is Running For .... Here\u2019s What You Need To Know.\">future presidential ambitions<\/a> rather than constructive diplomacy. The piece frames European reporters as puzzled by his lack of specifics and frames Newsom&#8217;s behavior as emblematic of what the author calls an irrational, insular anti\u2011Trump dialect among liberals.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Those who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome have no idea how unhinged they sound to non-sufferers.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, their affliction prevents them from even identifying audiences that might react with confusion to their uncontrolled TDS eruptions.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Democratic Gov.

I can&rsquo;t take this complicity &mdash; people rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Nominally, at least, the governor spoke of Trump&rsquo;s ongoing efforts to purchase or annex <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/marco-rubio-tells-lawmakers-trumps-plan-acquiring-greenland-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greenland<\/a>.

Newsom merely took his bash-Trump-at-every-turn routine to Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>That routine, of course, should play well with TDS-afflicted liberals back home. But it seems not to have occurred to Newsom that European leaders, engaged in actual diplomacy with Trump, might want specific details on how the California governor thinks they should deal with the president. Newsom never gave them any.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Europeans should decide for themselves,&rdquo; the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >limp-wristed governor replied<\/a> when asked what Europeans should do.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Newsom had no idea what approach Europeans should take, nor did he care to think about it.

Greenland-related diplomacy, however, was not the governor&rsquo;s objective.<\/p>\n<p>To the extent that he had a rational purpose, Newsom intended those words for Democratic voters in America.
