Bessent: Maybe Gavin Newsom Brought The Knee Pads For His Meeting With Alex Soros
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in an interview with Politico’s Dasha Burns, responded to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) attacks on President Donald Trump at the Davos World Economic Forum.
DASHA BURNS, POLITICO: Some of the European leaders have gotten criticism from Democrats, people like Gavin Newsom. Carney is actually one of the few people that Newsom has praised. He said he brought knee pads for some of the other European leaders that he thinks have been too accommodating to the president. TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT: I think Gavin Newsom may be cracking up with some of these things he’s saying. I think he may be in over his hairdo. And being on the national stage is very different than being governor of California with no signature achievements. But to say strange things like President Trump is a Tyrannosaurus Rex, what the hell does that mean? I could say Gavin Newsom is a brontosaurus with a brain the size of a walnut. And if he brought the knee pads, maybe that was for his meeting with Alex Soros. I don’t know.
