President Trump’s visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week was a bigger triumph than anyone could possibly have imagined a year ago. First, the counter-staging of President Trump landing at Davos while the Senate began the trial over his phony impeachment was a Reagan-quality move. Television is 80 percent visual. People standing around in the Senate make for boring television. Even people paid to watch the proceedings have complained about how boring they are. On the other hand, Air Force One landing in Switzerland – and then Marine One flying into Davos – makes for great...

President Trump spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos today. The White House has posted to embrace the text of his remarks here. Trump rejected the takeover of our lives in the name of “saving the planet,” as the left modestly formulates its messianic efforts: [T]o embrace the possibilities of tomorrow, we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse. They are the heirs of yesterday’s foolish fortune-tellers — and I have them and you have them, and we all have them, and they want to see us do badly, but we don’t let...

DAVOS -- President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he’s led a “spectacular” turnaround of the U.S. economy and urged the world to invest in America, but had less to say about climate change issues that are a focus of this year’s gathering of top business and political leaders in the Swiss Alps. Trump kept to his speech script and did not mention the historic impeachment trial that was set to reconvene in the U.S. Senate in Washington later Tuesday. But he couldn’t resist commenting when asked about the trial by the hordes of reporters covering the forum in Davos. “It’s...

With teen climate-change icon Greta Thunberg in the audience along with world leaders, President Trump declared he rejects environmental "prophets of doom" in a speech Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "To embrace the possibilities of tomorrow we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the Apocalypse," he said. "They are the heirs of yesterday's foolish fortune tellers, and they want to see us do badly but we won't let that happen." Trump said they "predicted an overpopulation crisis in the 1960s, mass starvation in the 70s, and an end of oil in...

German public broadcaster ARD has been blasted after admitting it “boosted” the sound of booing at the speech given by U.S. President Donald Trump late last week. President Trump gave his speech at Davos on Thursday, again delivering sharp criticism to the mainstream media. He stated: “it wasn’t until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious, and how fake the press can be.” ARD released a clip of the speech on the Twitter account for its popular news programme “Tagesschau” in which distinct boos could be heard directly after the President’s comments. A short...

Why does the Prime Minister think it does her good to be seen with that global embarrassment, Donald Trump? Why do politicians and media commentators in Britain prattle about how the ‘Special Relationship’ between Britain and the USA is still flourishing?

Quote: “America is open for business, and we are competitive once again.” End quote. That was just one of the key lines in President Trump’s highly successful Davos speech this week. Of course, in going to Davos, Trump entered the lion’s den. A year ago such a visit would have been a poor idea. Back then, elitist heads of state, the EU bureaucrats, and the international CEOs were uniformly against Donald Trump. But Trump’s 2018 Davos strategy was a brilliant stroke. A year later he could make the fact-based argument that, in his words, “The world is witnessing the...

In September of 2015 we shared one of the overarching reasons why CTH would support Donald Trump for President. – SEE HERE – This week, the sentiment behind that reasoning showed up in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum; we could not be more proud. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross (Wednesday), Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin (Thursday) and U.S. President Donald Trump (Friday), collectively outlined how our new U.S. trade and economic policy would engage with the world. Many media voices (narrative engineers) will, and have, continue to obfuscate, spin, and make predictive declarations about U.S. economic policies based on their...

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:12-13 KJV The Establishmedia is in a deep depression this morning after President Donald J Trump was accepted with open arms at Davos this week. Once he leaves the DNC controlled American bubble and mixes with real people around the world, just like Reagan, he...

Last year it was tight-gripped hand-wrestling between Donald Trump and France’s Emmanuel Macron that attracted media attention. Neither male leader seemed to want to be the first to let go during their first face-to-face meeting in July, resulting in what was dubbed the “never-ending handshake.” On Thursday, it was the U.S. leader’s prolonged Davos handshake with Britain’s Theresa May that excited fevered media speculation with the British press seeing it as an expression of how the recently troubled ‘special relationship’ between Britain and the United States is back on track. The Trump-May handshake was analyzed by the European media almost...

Earlier today, prior to his speech in Davos, Switzerland, President Trump sat down for an interview with Joe Kernen to discuss the America-First economic policy.

RUSH: Let’s go to the audio sound bites. This is more media shock and disbelief. We had examples of it yesterday, and we have two more. Audio sound bites, 1 and 14. First, “Christiamanpour.” It’s actually Christiane Amanpour. You have to say that almost as one word, Christiane Amanpour. You don’t know where the first name ends and the second name begins. It’s kind of like Joe Montana, just won word: “Jomontana.” “Christiamanpour.” She’s on CNN’s “New Day.” She’s now the chief international correspondent, and she’s reacting to the reaction Trump got in Davos. AMANPOUR: We have never, ever, ever...

“America is open for business and we are competitive once again,” Trump tells global audience at the World Economic Forum “I’m here to deliver a simple message. There has never been a better time to hire, to build, to invest, and to grow in the United States. America is open for business and we are competitive once again.” President Trump delivered that message, on Friday, January 26, to a global media audience, as well as to the annual assemblage of globalist business and political elites known as the World Economic Forum (WEF). After noting that the historic stock market ascent,...

Founded by Klaus Schwab in 1971, the World Economic Forum’s original mission was to introduce successful American management techniques to European firms. The annual global gathering—now known to most simply as “Davos”—has grown into a four-day conference that hosts about 3,000 of the world’s elite in business, government, and civil society.President Donald J. Trump’s address on January 26, 2018, marked only the second time a sitting U.S. president has attended the event in person. Ronald Reagan addressed Davos multiple years via video, and Bill Clinton has become a regular attendee after first visiting the conference in 2000. Presidents George...

Full title: America First: European CEOs Go One By One To Tell Trump They Are Investing Billions Back In The US President Donald J. Trump hosted a dinner with European business leaders and CEOs at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland Thursday evening. Trump has been making the rounds in Davos, holding bilateral meetings with other world leaders and conducting business roundtables.

President Donald Trump again criticized the news media, but this time in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum. “It wasn’t until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious, and how fake the press can be,” Trump said, as some in the audience booed. He joked that the cameras were “going off in the back” after his comment. One reporter in the room noted that foreign journalists joined the boos from people in the audience. Trump said he used to get great press from the media when he was a celebrity businessman but that...

Trump Arrives at Davos reporter asks "Do you think you're gonna be well received here?" Trump points to large crowd that was following him "I already am." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX7VrE9vGA4&feature=youtu.be&t=86

resident Trump is headed to Davos Wednesday night as positive reviews of his tax cuts stream in from CEOs and financiers from around the globe. National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn claimed Tuesday that the administration’s economic agenda has "unleashed the U.S. economy" and it looks like the executive class gathered in the Swiss Alps largely agrees. Speaking at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting this week, Credit Suisse CEO Tidjane Thiam proclaimed, "Tax reform in the U.S. has been exactly what we needed ... to give a new impetus to world growth.”

RUSH: So Trump is over in Davos, and it isn’t going the way Drive-Bys dreamed it would go. Trump is being embraced. Trump is being celebrated. Trump is being lauded. The Drive-Bys expected Trump to be protested! They expected Trump to be shunned. They hoped for all of this, and what this presents us today is a great opportunity. You know, our all-time favorite audio sound bites — and it’s tough; I mean, it may not be the all-time favorite, but it ranks right there. It’s our old buddy Nic Robertson of CNN in Cairo (laughing) during the Arab Spring...

A growing number of Davos attendees are planning to walk out of US president Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum this Friday (Jan. 26), several conference-goers told Quartz, to protest his remarks about African countries earlier this month. Trump repeatedly called African countries “shitholes” in a closed-door meeting about immigration, attendee Senator Dick Durbin and others have said. Boycotting Trump’s Davos speech was first broached by Business Leadership South Africa CEO (and Davos attendee) Bonang Mohale in an open letter. Leaving Trump’s speech after he starts is probably more powerful than boycotting it entirely, some Davos attendees speculate.
