California Governor Gavin Newsom used a prop at the World Economic Forum in Davos, holding up "Trump kneepads" to mock what he called widespread "selling out" to the Trump administration. Newsom said he created a website selling the kneepads, arguing that law firms, universities and corporate leaders were abandoning their values to stay in the president's favor, and urged Americans to "stand up" with "courage and convictions."
