This annual meeting is a networking site for major Western leaders, institutions and businesses. About 3000 will attend to do deals and set/confirm alliances. Trump will speak in a sort while; but it maybe more important that the list of those not attending includes leaders from China and India and Brazil (although represented). I am sure Trump will say something that makes him the centre of attention, what that will be is anybodies guess – from invading Greenland or Colombia to an announcement that he will demand ‘protection’ money from all countries. His claim that ‘globalisation’ does not work is interesting, coming from the leader of a country that has gained wealth and influence. In terms of poverty, there are fewer people in absolute poverty than the last 50 years. Environmentally (not a Trump strong point!) it has been a disaster!
So he has started of boasting about the US economy and wealth creation in the USA and countries that have complied with his demands regarding tariffs. then onto green technology which he calls the great scam. He will be dead before the issue really hits the fan! He may even be correct, but would you cross a busy road dodging traffic when there is a safe crossing nearby? Now he is onto Greenland – the fuckwit is now in his element as there is no logic behind anything he could say. He is seeking immediate negotiations to purchase Greenland – Denmark should not only ask for a ridiculously high price, but also add in clauses that will make him wince whilst supporting Greenlanders in the future. Trump has now said he will not use force – I would not trust him to (add your own example!).
And now I am sorry – listening to the twat is less interesting than watching paint dry.
