White House unleashes at Gavin Newsom’s European ‘vanity project’ – as Gov makes shocking claim about auto industry
NY Post ^ | 2/13/26 | Annie Gaus, Josh Koehn

Posted on 02/15/2026 4:49:27 AM PST by Libloather

For the second time in three weeks, Gov. Gavin Newsom has abandoned California to fly to Europe and schmooze with world leaders at the Munich Security Conference.

The White House and the governor’s political adversaries have brutally dismissed Newsom’s three-day trip as wasteful showboating.

Newsom has been accused of ignoring California’s growing list of problems to peacock around at the talkfest being held in two five-star hotels in Munich – while bashing America and President Trump.

“Gavin Newscum’s travels to Davos and Munich would be considered a vanity project if anyone there actually knew or cared who he was,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said.

”He should fix the many problems he created in California instead, but he clearly enjoys the humiliation ritual — sick!”

Newsom even tried to take credit for and claiming credit for ”manufacturing innovation” in America, claiming Tesla only got off the ground because of his incentives.

The invite-only Munich Security Conference is being held across two luxury hotels in Old Town Munich — the Hotel Bayerischer Hof and Rosewood — with Newsom taking in two sessions on climate change and transatlantic relations.

“Who invited him?”

I’m assuming there were some high-level policy type meetings and you can bet those were invitation only.

California invented and implemented a carbon fighting cap and trade systems to save the urth.

The verdict is in.
Cap and trade decimated California and Canada manufacturing

Hair Newsome doesn’t even pretend to be a “State” Leader anylonger. He knows he is terrible.

“Who invited him?“

___________________

The Chairman of the Munich Security Conference, such as TDS sufferer Wolfgang Ischinger (acting as chair in 2026), plays a central role in determining the guest list.

So, this TDS sufferer was more than happy to invite TDS sufferer Newscum:

Check it out:

Munich Security Conference Chair: a ‘wrecking-ball’ is smashing the international order’
12/02/2026

Excerpt:

Wolfgang Ischinger, the seasoned German diplomatic veteran who has held posts in Washington and London, paints a grim picture of the world. A “wrecking-ball,” he told a press conference in Berlin, is currently smashing “what would normally be part of a stable international order.” Accordingly, this year’s Munich Security Report, which he presented in Berlin earlier this week, bears the title ‘Under Destruction’.

Fair to say Newscum is getting a little feedback from snitches as the feds investigate the enormous fraud in CA that he knows will railroad his likely campaign for president. The de-escalation in MN and not much in CA is not what many of us wanted, however nationally the US can only deport so many illegals every day and there is millions of them.

Fantasy: Newscum and Walz as cellmates with a life sentence.

There was no deescalation of the ICE mission in Minnesota.

The surge was ended but the main mission continues unabated

You have no clue about ICE evets in California.

"There was no deescalation of the ICE mission in Minnesota."

...Which makes sense because if it's still just an ICE operation targeting certain individuals then that's all it is and always has been.

LOL, an oxymoronic comment if there was ever one.

You are very wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong

You have no understanding at all of what transpired and continues to take place.

Suit yourself, an AI condensation below. We may like it or not is beside the point, it clearly worked.

As of February 2026, the federal government has initiated a drawdown of "Operation Metro Surge" in Minnesota, a targeted immigration enforcement campaign that resulted in over 4,000 arrests of criminal illegal aliens and drew intense scrutiny following fatal, agent-involved shootings.
Key Aspects of the De-escalation (Feb 2026):

Newsom took an active role in fostering a positive regulatory environment for electric
vehicles in California and says he worked to keep Tesla’s engineering base in the state.

But his claims notwithstanding, his role in the launch of the company itself was
that of an early “consumer and proponent,” not an active participant in its creation.

“Who invited him?”

That’s easy, the rich person or person(s) who are funding the 2028 Presidential race for Gavin to be President. He’s clean, articulate… Sorry that one’s been used. They just really want somebody they can control, and is basically harmless to the Libs.

Reed Hastings, Eric Schmidt, George Soros and the Eight prominent San Francisco families have been long-time supporters, contributing about $2 million to his campaigns since 1998. These families include the Gettys, Pritzkers, and Fishers….. I’m sure list goes on and on…..

Good call. I’m sure he doesn’t pay for his own travel or living expenses.

Liberals move in an unreal world where everything is made easy for them. Where it bites them in the lower regions is they never develop the capacity to deal with the real world. This is evidenced when they must debate a real person as opposed to a friendly avatar. Kamala Harris was downright embarrassing to watch. Had she been forced to manage her own career and compete in the real world she would either have failed into obscurity or at least been the equal of her opponents.

Surge....... to quell the protest and protect the ICE officers, there was a surge, a large increase in ICE and Border Patrol presence.

The surge was curtailed leaving the said to be 2,500 ice officers present in the Twin Cities to continue their arrests of the illegal alien criminals

the ICE mission was not de escalated. The surge was de escalated

The WEF and globalist agenda controllers
Wouldnt they love to see a lberal tool like Newsom as the next POTUS?
Have come to the conclusion that Sparkle Beach Ken is not an intelligent man, but a vain arrogant man who is easily manipulated and therefore a great political tool for the real powers behind him.
Even his own wife upstaged him at in front of the MEdia at an abortion …err….Planned Unparenthood….rally
