He did not honor them with his presence. But he did make a live video link appearance to rebuke them. Mr. Trump informed them that the United States is taking a new direction 180 degrees opposite the Davos globalist geopolitical framework because, he inferred, they are on the wrong track. They are on the wrong side of history. And that simple idea is prompting many international leaders to rethink their blind participation in the corrupt World Economic Forum.
Mr. Trump's position is not merely an opinion, it is dynamic leadership with an intelligent agenda, nineteen points, he laid out for them in his message. Here are nineteen goals America will now be pursuing as the WEF stagnates in its failure:
President Trump will get rid of 10 regulations for each new regulation
Tariffs, whose amounts are not yet established, will be imposed on foreign goods
Federal tax breaks will be given for companies that make products within the US: he will lower it from 21% to 15% if products are produced in the USA.
He will reduce interest rates and inflation
The US is becoming a merit-based country
He (of course) talked about the border
There are only 2 genders. Transgender surgeries will be rare. Transgender athletes will not compete with women.
The United States is a sovereign country
We are returning to freedom of speech, no misinformation/disinformation labels to suffocate Americans’ free speech
Asks nations to increase their defense spending to 5% from 2% (this was a US request to NATO nations under Biden last fall)
It is time to end the Ukraine war, it is a carnage. He said millions are dying. He wants to talk to Putin soon about this. Hopefully this is an exaggeration.
There will be no support for electric cars. People can buy whatever car they want.
Prolonged delays for project approvals will end
With AI, we will need twice the energy in the US as we use now. (!). He suggests electricity generating plants be built next to AI plants, avoiding need to use the grid.
President Trump spoke about the use of “clean coal.” Does this mean we will use better scrubbers? RF Kennedy sued coal-burning plants for releasing large amounts of mercury into the air, generally harming low income communities where they were located.
President Trump said “debanking” is wrong and told the big banks to stop doing it.
President Trump said we don’t need Canada for wood, for making our cars, etc. He pointed out that essentially everything Canada has, the US has. This presages some tough negotiations on tariffs.
The President said President Xi called him. We have a 1.1 trillion dollar deficit with China that needs to be corrected. Hopefully China can help stop the Ukraine war. We’d like to see denuclearization of our two countries (Russia and the US) and China could come along. President Putin really liked the idea of reducing our nuclear capability. Xi did too.
The Ukraine war should never ever have been started. A lot of stupidity all around. “Far more people have died than is being reported.”
...there was a sober silence in the room. Samuel Adams, a key figure in the American Revolution and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, spoke up to say,
“We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come.”
Colonel Douglas MacGregor predicts a continuation of the Iran war soon, once all sides have replenished missile stocks.
"Washington’s political class manifests much less regard for the long-term strategic interests of its own citizens—their security and prosperity. As a result, Washington pays an exorbitant price in reputation and treasure for policies that confront Palestinians with the choice of death or expulsion from their homelands.
"Assumptions of tacit acceptance or rapid capitulation are implicit and dangerous.
[The Muslims will not 'do a deal.']
"When Hitler was briefed on the expected Soviet reaction to Operation Barbarossa, Major General Ernst Koestring, a Prussian officer fluent in Russian from a family that had lived in Moscow since the reign of Catherine the Great, advised: “Initially, German forces will advance rapidly. The various peoples on the Soviet periphery will likely welcome the German forces. Resistance will be weak. But when the Germans advance into ...
