The words of California Democratic Governor Newsom can be seen as a sign of a deep rift within the American power structure.
According to Ashura News, citing Tasnim, this year's Davos meeting was not only a place to exchange views on the global economy and political equations; it became a platform from which the voice of dissatisfaction with Donald Trump among a part of the American elite was clearly heard. The words of Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California and one of the serious figures of the future of American politics, showed more than anything else that the Trump phenomenon is no longer simply a party or electoral issue, but has become an internal crisis for the United States itself and the Western order.
At Davos, Newsom painted a picture of Trump that goes beyond his controversial domestic behavior. His focus on the global consequences of Trump's policies, especially in the Greenland affair, carried a clear warning to Europe and America's allies. In his view, the idea of “taking Greenland” is not a media joke, but a serious sign of a mentality that considers the established rules of international relations worthless and proceeds with the logic of force, bargaining, and humiliation of others. Newsom considers this approach an example of dangerous recklessness that could plunge global stability into a new phase of chaos.
The key point in Newsom’s narrative is his emphasis on the futility of a policy of appeasement with Trump. In his belief, any retreat or silence in the face of this president will not only not contain the crisis, but will also embolden him to take more radical actions. Newsom warns that Trump is not a conventional politician who is restrained by diplomatic logic; he is an actor who feeds on the hesitation and weakness of the other side. In such circumstances, Europe and other global players will effectively become part of the crisis if they are not decisive.
Newsom’s satire on the behavior of world leaders was another part of this political revelation. His allusion to leaders kneeling before Trump is a clear criticism of the passivity and conservatism of Western elites; elites who, in the face of trade threats, political pressures, and outright blackmail, still hope to weather the storm by playing for time and expediency. But in Newsom’s view, this hope is neither realistic nor cheap.
He calls the Greenland affair ridiculous on the surface, but he sees this “ridicule” as bearing two worrying realities: first, the degree of unpredictability of decision-making in the Trump White House; and second, the need for a serious rethinking of the way the world deals with an American who no longer even adheres to the rules he himself has established.
In conclusion, Newsom’s words can be seen as a sign of a deep rift within the American power structure; A gap that indicates the Western order’s inability to digest and contain Trump, this stance sends a clear message to the world: the danger of Trump will not disappear by ignoring or normalizing him.
Perhaps for the first time, the message is being delivered with a resounding voice from within America itself that the time has come for a clear and unconventional stand against a president who does not recognize the rules of the game.
