Gavin Newsom: "tRump is a T-Rex, you mate with him or he devours you"

At Davos, likely Democratic US Presidential candidate Gavin Newsom berates "pathetic" European leaders for their disgusting and groveling fealty in continually being conned by Trump.

"I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders", "It's pathetic".

So you guys agree? We either get fucked or die?

WTF people? Dump IS NOT this metaphor. Dump is a pathetic, little bitch who should be made fun of, ridiculed, and laughed at.....that's what he fears the most. He fears being the joke that he is. The pitiful, imbecilic, bully that he is.

I was STUNNED at what Newsom said regarding a TRex and just covered my face when I saw him say it.

And as much as I like Newsom in many ways, he's sometimes been too friendly to Silicon Valley - which has provided much of the money in California politics, but is now backing Trump - and he should stop using AI slop images at times to mock Trump. I've seen him criticized online for the AI slop by liberals fighting the AI companies and their theft of intellectual property. Newsom's text posts mocking Trump's Truth Social posts are brilliant, but the AI slop art is not helpful.

And while he has the power of the United States in the palm of his hand, he is, in fact, quite dangerous. You can ridicule his personality disorders and his childish antics and still recognize that he can, has and will continue to hurt people, simply because he can. Both things can and are true.

Which do you choose, since you agree with Gavin? You've left yourself only these choices, UNLESS you change your mind and agree with me:

Let him fuck you?
Die?

...so I'm going to disregard what you just said entirely. Its quite obvious he was speaking off the cuff about how Trump treats people and those are basically his 2 modes. If you aren't kissing his ass, he will take it personal and try to destroy you. Anyone with an iota of an ability to recognize context knew what he meant.... especially in the context of his overall comments, which was telling Europe to stand up to Trump.

You are creating a false narrative. You should stop.

You're wrong.

You are the one creating a false narrative. Taking what he said out of context because you can't handle it.

Stop it.
