California Gov. Gavin Newsom called Donald Trump an “invasive species” during a lengthy rant against the president and his administration at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland Thursday.
The Democratic governor said he is “living rent-free in Trump’s head,” calling himself one of the more “aggressive American politicians” standing up to the administration and touting his social media trolling as a political success.
The remarks came a day after Newsom claimed the administration sidelined him from an event by pressuring organizers to disinvite him from a planned “fireside chat.”
In what capped a jam-packed week in the Swiss resort town, Newsom also addressed comments by the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who recently referred to the governor as a “Ken doll.”

“The Treasury secretary talked about a Barbie doll,” Newsom responded. “It was as if he was reading a diary and had just broken up with someone. That was the secretary of the treasury using valuable time yesterday on the world stage.”
