California Gov. Gavin Newsom called on world leaders attending the Munich Security Conference in Germany to think about a future without President Donald Trump.
Newsom's comments on climate policy reflected the larger theme of his message for Europe.
"I hope if there is nothing else I communicate today: Donald Trump is temporary. He'll be gone in three years," Newsom said.
He added, "It's important for folks to understand the temporary nature of this current administration in relationship to the issue of climate change and climate policy."
He slammed the Trump administration's rollback of the 2009 "endangerment finding" and accused the United States of "doubling down on stupid" climate policy to benefit the oil, gas and coal industries.
Of Trump, Newsom encouraged leaders to "call this guy out" and stand up to the administration's actions on the climate and beyond.
"I'm under assault and attack by this guy every single day. Here's the president of the United States, he's 80 years old and he's calling me a nickname an 8-year-old called me," Newsom said.
Newsom, along with other Democrats, are attending the Munich Security Conference to boost their profiles and strengthen bonds with European allies.
The Democrats plan to push an alternative to Trump's aggressive and transactional foreign policy agenda, lawmakers, aides and analysts told ABC News.

But MAGA is forever
Climate change cash. Same as Somali Leaning Center cash, only on a larger scale.
Well.....So was the Tea Party... History shows Populist movements are short lived.
What's wrong with transactional? What's wrong with deal-making?
The Democrats just want to give away the store to foreigners and leave nothing for American citizens.
Playing Santa with other people's money is irresistible to narcissists.
And so are you
We can make MAGA long term Jesus is Lord!
By the time Trump is out of office, Scum will probably be in jail and the DemonRat party will no longer exist!
Can Newsome guarantee he will be around after three years?
Plus 8 years of Vance...
Face it Gav - the anthropomorphic climate change hoax is over.
Wow, a typical commie Californian trying to paint the president as a non person. What a POS. F him and his tran-fag pals
As much chance as sticking your foot in the Potomac and causing DC to flood.
As people who live in dry air places such as wintertime Florida generally know, when the sun goes down, the temperature drops pretty fast.
Atmospheric CO2 doesn’t hold in the heat. Off to the heavens it goes unless water vapor holds it back.
Well, they want their share. Democrats view their role as leadership is to sell off America’s hard-earned Uranium to their friends, for instance, and keep a tidy little sum for themselves.
Unfortunately, I will not be surprised to see Gavin Newsom at the swearing in ceremony as the next President of the US in 2029. I pray that does not happen.
So are you, Gavin.
“Here’s the president of the United States, he’s 80 years old and he’s calling me a nickname an 8-year-old called me,” Newsom said.”
.
When an 80 yo President calls one the same name as an 8 yo, it might be a good idea to look in a mirror... mr. gruesome.
.
“By the time Trump is out of office, Scum will probably be in jail and the DemonRat party will no longer exist!”
Still waiting on a wholesale lot of Demorats to wind up in jail....
Yep!
Here’s hoping!
