Playing Taps for the New World Order

President Trump has the world playing taps for the New World Order, and that’s a good thing. In the process he dealt the UK’s Keir Starmer what appears to be a fatal blow. And in Minneapolis, a combination of communists and NGO-paid rioters are trying to replay the George Floyd Summer of Love and is instead showing why ICE’s work is essential to good order. The media is trying to help the rioters by concocting a “bait boy” fable.

Davos

Niall Ferguson sums up, ”The reality is that Trump won Davos, hands down. And not only did he win it; he owned it. I have never before seen a single individual so completely dominate this vast bazaar of the powerful, the wealthy, the famous, and the self-important.”

He did it by forcing a realistic assessment of the state of the world, which the Davosinian caviar munchers seem to have ignored for too long. He made clear that globalization was dead, that it failed the U.S., failed Europe, diminished prosperity and made them subservient to their enemies. In a prelude to the meeting, Trump and his administration whipped up the prospect of annexing Greenland. This prompted French president Emmanuel Macron and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney to gasp that such a move would rupture longstanding multinational geopolitics. Once the Davos crowd was all atwitter about the monster U.S. grabbing Greenland, Trump called the whole thing off. It was a deliberate distraction in which he ended up getting exactly what he wanted in Greenland without it costing us a cent.

The problem with all of this is the premise that Trump ever seriously meant to annex Greenland or to impose new tariffs on the Europeans. Why would he when a) the United States already enjoys (under a 1951 treaty with Denmark

Your “New World Order” has been cancelled.

The author is very optimistic. I hope the author is right, but I’m concerned that once President Trump leaves office, it’s right back to the race to the bottom for us.

I think we have an opportunity to destroy the Democrat Party. If that happens, then the time after Trump can also be spent going in the right direction. But we need to spend the time right now arresting Democrats and showing their corruption and malfeasance.

[Sirius Lee]

Agreed. It’s not dead yet. It needs to be, but it isn’t yet. And the virus behind it is alive and well in Minneapolis and other leftist cities.

“I’m concerned that once President Trump leaves office, it’s right back to the race to the bottom for us.”

Won’t take that long. Schumer and Jeffries will impeach Trump on day one if they get the midterms. All Trump EOs will be overturned. They have said those exact words. One would be a fool not to believe them.

[brownsfan]

“I think we have an opportunity to destroy the Democrat Party. “

Only Trump and his close allies would follow up on destroying the Dems. For the average Republican politician, that’s like asking the Washington Generals to destroy the Globetrotters.

[brownsfan]

“... Schumer and Jeffries will impeach Trump on day one if they get the midterms. All Trump EOs will be overturned. ... “

I expect the Dems will take the House. I also expect the Dems to impeach Trump on a daily basis. But, can the House repeal EOs?

[bk1000]

“I expect the Dems will take the House.”

I pray not. I don’t think I can abide “Speaker Hakeem Jeffries”.

[brownsfan]

“I pray not. I don’t think I can abide “Speaker Hakeem Jeffries”.”

I would love to be wrong, but I live in the blue part of Ohio, and what I observe around me makes me think you should steel yourself to endure a new Speaker.

What an excellent article. Fantastic. My favorite quote from her from one of her past articles:

Trump's enemies take him literally but not seriously.

Trump's supporters take him seriously but not literally.

In today's article, she puts it this way, which is spot on and absolutely rich:

"...Ten years ago, Europeans made the mistake of taking Trump neither seriously nor literally. Now they make the opposite mistake of treating him both seriously and literally. [snip] The fact that Trump carries out only around half the threats he makes on social media is a feature, not a bug -- and it’s certainly not a sign of weakness. It is a deliberate tactic designed to leave counterparties uncertain..."

Wow. I so admire Clarice Feldman, even if every time I see her name, I think of this:

2020 was stolen. That puts Trump back to zero terms.
