WEF leaders pressed on how they will 'Trump-proof their economies' if he wins election
Fox News ^ | January 19, 2024 | Alexander Hall

Bloomberg Television host Francine Lacqua asked leaders at the World Economic Forum Friday about how they would prepare for the very real possibility of Donald Trump’s reelection.

Lacqua hosted a panel on the “The Global Economic Outlook” on the closing day of the forum in Davos, Switzerland, where Trump’s return is viewed with concern.

She first turned to David Rubenstein, the co-founder and co-executive chairman of The Carlyle Group, one of the world’s largest private equity firms, and asked, “David, a number of leaders have expressed concern of what Donald Trump in the White House means for fragmentation, for foreign policy. Is there any way that the rest of the world can Trump-proof their economies?”

“Ummm, if somebody has a way to do that, I think they should patent it and probably sell it to somebody else,”…

“I think we are talking too much about Donald Trump in Europe, and we should prepare ourselves for a possible second term for Donald Trump by fostering our European competitiveness,” (Germany’s Federal Minister of Finance Christian) Lindner said. “Doing our homework is the best preparation for a possible second term of Donald Trump, and this includes our capabilities to defend ourselves.”

He went on to argue that working to be an “attractive partner on eye-level” in terms of economics and NATO is the best way to ensure a good partnership with the United States, to the point that it won’t matter whether Biden or Trump ultimately win the presidency in 2024.

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde answered, “I think the best defense, if that’s the way you want to look at it, is attack. And to attack properly, you need to be strong at home. So being strong means to have a strong deep market, having a real single market.”

Does she mean “how will WEF leaders stop their economies from improving under Trump”?

Yeah, what’s the plan this time since laughing at him didn’t work the first time?

That’s one thing about Trump, he has all the right enemies.

They all loved him before they hated him.

Given who they claim to be, and that they hate him, is proof of why he is the one to vote for.

She means:

How are you (WEF - Euro-Elitists - Special Interests) going to protect your rackets and syndicates from Trump demanding that you provide more for the military defense of each of your countries . . . and also defend Israel?

Trump winning could significantly slow down their world takeover schedule.

For AM review bump.

I think you're right. As economies improve, people's lives improve and then they are less likely to look towards "elites" to "save" them.

The WEF criminals and scumbags need chaos, poverty, war and death to carry out their anti-human agendas. If times are good, they don't have much of a chance.

I think this is various europeon conspiracy-guilty minds getting together to try to justify their part in trying to remove Trump as president. That’s why they’re in this panic.

Lots of stuff they’re gonna have to do regardless of Trump.

Berlin besieged and choked by throngs of farmers on tractors protesting about subsidies, France continues past week 270 of Yellow Vest discontent, Sweden abandons its 2030 goals for climate policy changes, UK suffering shortage of Fish&Chips staples (Ha ha)....and so on.
