California Governor Gavin Newsom criticizes Trump and urges Europe to stand up to him

California Governor Gavin Newsom has been making headlines for his sharp criticism of President Donald Trump. He compared Trump to a 'T-Rex' and urged European allies to 'grow a backbone' and 'punch back' rather than 'roll over' for him.

This has sparked a political fight, with the White House reportedly calling Newsom an 'inauthentic slimeball' after he walked back some of his earlier rhetoric about confronting federal immigration authorities (ICE). Meanwhile, other Democrats, like Senator John Fetterman, have called for the party to resist advocating for 'extreme' stances, such as abolishing ICE.
