DAVOS: They are all laughing at you, Donald Trump.

[Bourbon]

Emmanuel Macron made an ambitious effort today (Jan. 24) to woo a large crowd of business and political leaders eager to hear him speak for the first time as French president at the World Economic Forum in Davos. In a speech that ran longer than that of other high-profile leaders so far—about an hour, but it sometimes seemed longer—Macron effortlessly ran through a laundry list of popular Davos subjects, switching between English and French.

He warmed up the cavernous hall with a joke at Donald Trump’s expense, without directly naming him (and in English, so nothing could be lost in translation back in Washington). “The most obvious paradox is to be talking about globalization in a place cut off by snow,” he said. There’s so much snow you can see why some might say it’s hard to believe in global warming, he added. “Fortunately, you didn’t invite anyone skeptical about global warming this year.”

*The crowd erupts in laughter*

trump is playing checkers, and the rest of the world is playing chess. Canada just signed on with Asian trade partners, as trump howls about NAFTA.

If he lives another 3 years, there's no telling what our exports will look like. U.S is consistently being shut out of major multi national trade deals.

They're Blowing Sweet Nothing in Drumpf's Ear and Picking America's Wallet

I'm sure one of the Trumpanzees with a degree in economics will be along shortly to explain why this is a good thing for our economy and how it will mean jobs jobs jobs for Americans. *snort*

grow up dude, seriously

The difficulty is that, if the US continues to want to be ruled by media 'personalities' instead of statesmen, it is going to leave a lot of big capital without a State to manipulate its world domination for it, so we'll be in for a competitive mess of a truly Trumpite kind.

Neither did The Bush's or Melania Drumpf

Oh yeah because she is Co-President...

Yes. Because billionaires just got more billions, and the average working person got about $50/week in tax cuts. Our kids lost the interest deduction on college loans, and Blue state homeowners will pay higher taxes.

How many $900 washing machines will the middle class be able to afford?

I heard a weak US dollar may help our exports and balance of trade and payments no matter what stupid things the fat hog does or doesn't do.

That's generally standard in the industry, but we are the number one consumer economy in the world.

True, but if imports cost more for us, and our exports are cheaper for them, the trade picture will favor thr US, relatively speaking. Sell your dollars, buy yuans.

Davos is a showcase of global elites. But Trump should show up and do some crowing about MAGA
I don't think anytihng of substance comes from it
