"California Governor Gavin Newsom was spotted sliding up to the front row at Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's Davos talk on Tuesday, taking notes and trolling him throughout as he sat flanked by the cabinet member's staffers. The Democratic governor was in attendance for the World Economic Forum in Switzerland where he had earlier warned Europeans to stand tall, stand firm, stand united against President Donald Trump's push to acquire control of Greenland, which has strained relations with allies there."
"In their corroborating accounts, the governor, a Democratic favorite for a 2028 presidential run, took notes and silently scoffed at some of Bessent's comments making his mockery clearly visible from the stage. Newsom shook his head in disagreement and rolled his eyes, O'Keefe tweeted, even throwing his head back at one point. According to Jacobs, two remarks that particularly got Newsom shaking his head and laughing were Bessent's claim that drill baby drill' has gotten gasoline prices downward below $2,"
