Gavin Newsom said dozens of world leaders and ambassadors have told him they laugh at President Donald Trump and are 'playing' him, describing that reaction as universal among foreign officials. He referenced a readout about Greenland and a meeting with Danish delegates while warning not to conflate those interactions. Newsom characterized Trump's overseas dealings as potential grifts or transactions and suggested Trump uses family members to pursue deals on international trips. Newsom has repeatedly targeted Trump and often uses social media to parody Trump's personality and communication style.
Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) claimed President Donald Trump is being brutally mocked by dozens of world leaders who are laughing behind his back!
