European leaders divided over how far to accommodate Trump’s ‘wrecking ball’ politics and foreign policy
US Democrats will use a security summit this weekend to urge European leaders to stand up to Donald Trump, with the continent divided over how to keep the unpredictable US president on side.
Democrats at the annual Munich Security Conference will include some of Trump’s most outspoken critics, such as the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, the New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Arizona senator Ruben Gallego and the Michigan governor, Gretchen Whitmer.
Newsom has already urged Europeans to realise that “grovelling to Trump’s needs” makes them “look pathetic on the world stage”, telling reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month he “should have brought a bunch of knee pads”.
How about the damn Democrats stand up to Trump. Stop asking the world to fix your problems.
You have Democrats trying to control criminal outlaws with laws. See the problem?

This, exactly. trump and everything he represents is only ever been made possible by the feckless, equivocating cowardice of a Democratic Party that is more organized around fundraising than it is about accomplishing anything. Newsom is the complete embodiment of those failures and his posturing for the next presidency represents a continuation of them.
