Ahead of Trump’s Arrival to Davos, Secretary Bessent Holds a Press Conference
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 21 Jan, 2026 | Sundance

A large U.S. delegation, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio are traveling with President Trump tonight to Davos. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and all of the key members of the cabinet are already there.

According to the official WEF schedule, President Donald Trump’s address is in the mid‑afternoon Wednesday January 21, with the Davos session set for 2:30 to 3:15 p.m. local time (8:30 to 9:15 a.m. ET).

The entire world will be watching this speech considering the geopolitical events of the past year, the current trajectory of global relationships that has been scrambled by President Trump, and anticipation of this moment being the inflection point in Western political history.

On the tech side, all of the information bots under the control of Canada, the U.K, Australia and the global intelligence apparatus will be turned on to control and shape internet opinion of President Trump’s speech. The need for control is a reaction to fear. Do not discount the stakes at play; this is beyond the trillions – this is everything. For the opposition to President Trump this is a zero-sum conflict.

Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent held a press conference earlier today to absorb and address some of the key questions from the international media assembly [Bessent video at link]. Combined with feedback from Secretary Lutnick and USTR Greer, the speech content is being finalized on the flight between President Trump and Secretary Rubio.

I hope President Trump uses his speech to inform Larry Fink that the DOJ has a big investigation opened on him for intentionally harming businesses with his Blackrock ESG mandates.

The antichrist will have his empire in Europe, with its capital in Rome. I’ve noticed the Europeans keep mentioning that they must strengthen their military and their economy and bind together in order to become a great superpower and compete. God may be using Trump to move the timeline along. Like when a play lowers the curtain and shifts the set.

It’s stupid to have all these leaders meet in a remote area when it can be done by video conferencing. Stop this foolishness. It’s just a business meeting.

Trump’s entire cabinet is very impressive, but Bessent and Rubio really stand out. They may be two of the best cabinet secretaries in decades. The more that Trump puts them front and center to advocate for policies, the better.
