DAVOS, SWITZERLAND — For the unacquainted, Davos is the house of the World Financial Discussion board, and hosts a yearly confab of the worldwide elite. The celebrities are the chiefs of globalist establishments just like the IMF; the UN; progressive prime ministers; and all the large banks.
This yr was totally different. The headliner was a real-estate developer from Queens.
Who additionally occurs to be president of the US.
He wasn’t right here in individual, however The Donald dominated each dialog — and never all the time in a nasty approach, even given his America First agenda, and his penchant to not care what the IMF, the UN or the folks on the WEF assume.
In some methods, the globalist crowd is scared to demise of The Donald, and for good causes. Joe Biden was sleepy however predictably globalist. They recall Trump’s first unconventional time period as president. Within the early days of Trump II, he already issued an government order halting international assist for the subsequent 90 days; he’s ending all of the globalists shibboleths of environmental social governance — the company embrace of zero carbon future and wokeism.
He desires to drill child drill — and what lefty globalist desires that?
In different methods, nonetheless, they’re additionally relieved. In contrast to Biden, an precise, sentient human being is now the chief of the free world. They owe their safety to a person who doesn’t sleep all day; nobody right here actually desires a way forward for talking Chinese language or Russian.
Trump was beamed in Thursday to deal with the group and he gave a really Trumpy speech reminding massive banks like JPMorgan there will probably be penalties for going woke — in his phrases, “debanking conservatives.” He stated variety fairness and inclusion mandates — a type of racial and gender equalization that was massive with the Davos crowd — is the way in which of the previous.
The response was fairly optimistic, or not less than not hostile. Ditto for Trump’s social media tweet warning Vladimir Putin he higher get to the desk and negotiate an actual peace in its years-long battle with Ukraine.
The globalists used to imagine Trump had a person crush on the Russian strongman, and thought he was about to promote out Ukraine to appease outdated Vlad.
That’s not the tenor of conversations because the discussion board attracts to an in depth. What they’re studying is that Trump is associates with somebody till he’s not. And that goes for Vladimir Putin.
Trump sees WWIII as not being in US pursuits (for apparent causes) and if Putin doesn’t play ball Trump will make no matter sanctions imposed by Sleepy Joe Biden look small, presumably utilizing frozen Russian property within the West to fund Ukraine’s navy.
The globalists are all the time anxious about one thing. However I additionally noticed a little bit of hope, as a result of a brand new sheriff is on the town and he’s not falling asleep on the wheel.
