NCS anchor and senior White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) known as out quite a few gaffes and falsehoods from President Donald Trump’s “jaw-dropping” handle to the 2026 Davos World Economic Forum.
Newsom was within the viewers when Trump delivered a lengthy and rambling speech on the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday. The president spoke for properly over an hour, dropping a well-recognized combination of falsehoods, exaggerations, attacks on allies and enemies alike, and wild asides.
Trump name-checked Governor Newsom throughout the speech, talking about him in a comparatively constructive style.
On Wednesday’s edition of NCS’s The Situation Room, Collins caught up with Newsom simply minutes after the speech ended. The anchor identified the “Iceland” gaffe and requested Newsom if it stood out to him:
KAITLAN COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he stated Iceland a number of occasions when he was speaking about Greenland?
GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM: You know, and that each time a windmill turns, it prices a thousand {dollars}, a variety of stuff stands out.
None of that is normalized. There’s a normalization, a deviancy of consciousness and, you understand, feedback and commentary and no different…
He’s held to the curve. He’s graded on a curve. I imply, it’s actually some jaw-dropping and exceptional!
Statements that simply… You know, fly within the face of details and proof and widespread sense.
So, however they’re so that you’ve heard them over and over and over once more, once more, for the European viewers, which will have been a brand new speech.
My God, there wasn’t something new about that speech for the American viewers. The solely factor that was new is he stated he’s prepared to barter.
But wait a sec. That’s not new both, as a result of he’s been saying we’ve needed to barter for over a 12 months.
