During his address to attendees at the World Economic Forum, Donald Trump left no doubt that the United States is back in business.
After what had undoubtedly been the busiest and most earth-shaking first few days in American presidential history, Donald Trump wisely phoned it in at the World Economic Forum.
By that, I simply mean that he addressed the world’s business leaders — and the prostitutes! Don’t forget the prostitutes! — remotely rather than in person. Still, we half expected him to finish that two-hour Hannity interview, fire off a few more truthy Truths, grab his skis and a Diet Coke, and take the last Air Force One redeye to Davos.
But no. He opted for a Zoom call instead. I can hear the haters now: Dude has clearly lost the zip on his fastball.
They wish. In a 45-minute Trumpian address followed by a wide-ranging Q-and-A, the American president made clear to Klaus Schwab and his fellow Great Resetters what they already knew: There’s a new sheriff in town.
Trump’s speech began with a grim-faced introduction from Dr. Evil himself: “Mr. President, what great honor and pleasure to welcome you back to ze Davos community. Just four days into your new mandate, we highly appreciate your presence wizz us today. We wish you all ze best as you take on your critical work ahead. … Ladies and gentlemen, ze president of ze United States, Donald J. Trump.”
Trump began his remarks as only Trump can: by noting that it’s been “a truly historic week in the United States” and that we’ve begun “the Golden Age of America.” Oh, and by reminding those in attendance that he won all seven swing states. …
