Newsom Calls World Leaders ‘Pathetic’ for ‘Rolling Over’ to Trump

“It’s time to buck up. It’s time to get serious and stop being complicit. It’s time to stand tall and firm. Have a backbone. You know, it’s — I’ve seen this in the United States. The supine Congress playing both sides, you know, say one thing on a text or tweet and another publicly. It’s time to have principle. It’s time to stand tall.” Reporter: “When you say standing tall, what do you mean?” “Just, I can’t take this complicity. People rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of kneepads for all the world leaders. I mean, handing out crowns and handing — I mean, this is pathetic. Nobel Prizes that are being given away. I mean, it’s just pathetic. This guy is playing folks for fools, and it’s embarrassing.” Reporter: “Europeans think this is diplomacy and this will ultimately work.” “Oh, this is diplomacy with Donald Trump? He’s a T. Rex. You mate with him or he devours you, one or the other.”
