Newsom didn't do anyone any favors by blowing up at the European leaders

65. why is he attacking the Europeans?

...they didn't put Trump in power and they have no way of removing him.

Their countryfolk set their priorities, not the governor of California.

Why didn't he bother to supprt any of the pushback we all saw from those same leaders he's claiming should be more effective at their opposition?

BERLIN (AP) — The eight European countries targeted by U.S. President Donald Trump for a 10% tariff for opposing American control of Greenland blasted the move Sunday, warning that his threats "undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral."

The joint statement by some of America's closest allies signaled a possible turning point in the recent tensions over sovereignty and security nearly 24 hours after Trump's threat.

It was also the most forceful rebuke of Trump from the European allies since he returned to the White House almost a year ago.

...projecting insults is seldom as effective as doing the work of diplomacy, which Newsom looks to have sidestepped to launch this typical American top-down broadside at people we expect to be allies.

Why couldn't he just continue his appeals in private instead of blowing up at a diplomatic event because they're practicing diplomacy? It looked absurd.
