Breakingviews - Donald Trump wins most insufferable title at Davos

[Mac1958]

Yes, I completely understand that they're cheering HIM, regardless of what he says.

That's the problem. Zero accountability. Zero honesty required. Zero examination or analysis. Just stand and cheer.

I don't know how such a thing can be considered good.

I think you misunderstand most Trump supporters and why we’ve supported him the last four years...

Supporting and Voting for Trump was as much a middle finger to the Republican Party establishment as it was a matter of truly believing DJT was the best option available. We are sick and tired of Centrist-Leftist establishment politicians who are out of touch with most Americans.

So when DJT showed up and at least paid lip service to the things we believe in he became a Cult Hero. When he suddenly won it was like hitting the jackpot at the casino on your first pull of the lever. Everything after thst is playing with house money. THEN when he actually started trying to DO the things he talked about, that was just icing on the cake.

DJT is a bag of sugar in the gas tank of the car of an American Government that we’ve come to despise, and that’s WHY we love him so much.

I appreciate the civil response. I do also know that his incredible popularity is a function of anger and frustration. And by the way, I can especially understand how part of his appeal is how his behaviors fly in the face of PC and Identity Politics, a topic with which I disagree strongly with the Left. I get that.

Where I'm most concerned is that (a) I also know that acting on this type of emotion, anger and frustration can lead to long term damage in ANY situation, and (b) part of this response includes Trumpsters literally allowing themselves to be isolated from any information that doesn't fit with their worldview. That's pretty freaking dangerous.

I think I get it for the most part -- the devotion to Trump is essentially a group primal scream -- but I don't think a republic can exist for long like this. And I also know that some Trumpsters are fine with that, too.

[The VOR]

Donald Trump performed like an elementary schoolboy at a show and tell offering nothing but lies. There were even some sniggers from the audience when he started his schoolboy rant.

Donald Trump's economy is not the best there has ever been. GDP growth is around 2% and debt growth is > 2 x GDP growth.

The engine of the Donald Trump economy is burgeoning government debt, which will have to be repaid one day if indeed it can be repaid after Donald Trump is finished growing it.

Donald Trump is not loved, only tolerated by the international community.

Donald Trump is trashing brand America with his bullshit, braggadocio, and his attitude toward allies.

DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters Breakingviews) - It’s a high bar but Donald Trump has quickly snagged the title of most insufferable man at Davos.

The U.S. president is in an especially braggadocious mood as he mixes it up at the World Economic Forum. He signed a trade deal with China, stocks are soaring, and Iran’s top general is dead on his orders. Impeachment is a stain on his presidency, but globalist delegates already exasperated by his “America First” policies will be even more annoyed because Trump has real things to brag about.

Trump is just one of many big egos descending on the Swiss mountain resort. JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon, whose bank resoundingly beat fourth-quarter earnings estimates, is hosting several events. Salesforce.com boss Marc Benioff is preaching about woke capitalism.

But the president, with his penchant for hyperbole, outdoes them all. In an address to delegates on Tuesday, Trump declared that America was experiencing an economic boom “the likes of which the world had never seen before”. Last week Trump inked a pact with China, with an ambitious goal of having the People’s Republic buy $200 billion more in U.S. goods and services over two years. That helped stocks close at a new record high on Friday. The president went further at Davos saying total purchases could be closer to $300 billion.

The China agreement was agreed two weeks after Trump ordered a drone attack on Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif canceled his Davos trip. Last year, it was Trump who abruptly pulled out of the gathering amid a government shutdown, spurred by his fight with Democrats over a $6 billion border wall request.

... The audience barely clapped during Trump’s comments - but he gave himself enough applause to make up for it.

He gets laughed at by all other international leaders everywhere in the world he goes, because he is an incompetent, immature asshole.

Obama told a lie or two, Trump tells one just about anytime he opens his mouth.

Yep, it’s all the same, not possible to tell one from the other.

One or two? Lmfao. You just self admitted to being an uninformed doofus.

Ok ignoramus, let me explain something to you.

When you are a politician dealing with all kinds of issues, speaking publicly to push policies there invariably be somethings you say that range somewhere between not exactly true and outright lies.

Everyone in those positions at some point lies or mis-speaks or tells falsehoods. On that scale Obama has been one of our most honest presidents while Trump has been one of the most dishonest politicians to ever enter public life, a full on snake oil salesman with zero refused for truth or facts.

Oh my God! You just doubled down on dumb. You are no different from the trumpers. You excuse lies by your guy, but condemn lies by the other guy.

Wake the fuck up!

You are a total moron if you can’t tell a difference between a lie from thousands lies.

LOL. There is no doubt Donnie lies a lot. Thankfully unlike your beloved Messiah, his lies are mostly about stupid inconsequential things.

Stop allowing the billionaire’s media to do your thinking.

Inconsequential????

Lying about how “the rich like me will pay more under my tax plan” is inconsequential...while the bill is practically tailor made for real-estate moguls, greatly benefited his pockets and just about anyone else who makes big income?

Really? Inconsequential?

Constantly lying to and misinforming public on everything from economic matters to immigration to what his admin is doing is inconsequential?

Obama used to get his teeth knocked in for even half-truths. To compare his dignified conduct of Presidency to the current ass-clown is to be completely detached from reality.

oh yes, O was much more dignified while lying. Not admirable in my book.

stop consuming government controlled media. You’ll be amazed at how smart you become.

 

[Seawytch]

In TrumpWorld, a 2.1% GDP, an exploded deficit and the Fed pouring HUNDREDS of BILLIONS into markets to grease the system is The Greatest Economy Ever.

This isn't funny any more. The people he has been conning completely believe this.

The U.S. president is in an especially braggadocious mood as he mixes it up at the World Economic Forum

~S~

The Trumpsters just don't care. Facts just don't matter. They do not want to know.

This is beyond simple partisan politics for them. This is something different.

I've never seen anything like this.

Yes you have. Cults have existed forever.

Bullshit, this may be your first rodeo but I’ve been reading on and discussing presidential lies, one by one, for over a decade now. Of course nowadays it’s impossible to keep up with the bullshit rivers flowing out of Trump.

I do know and you don’t know and that’s exactly why you think Trump’s lying is somehow comparable to past Presidents.

DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters Breakingviews) - It’s a high bar but Donald Trump has quickly snagged the title of most insufferable man at Davos.

The U.S. president is in an especially braggadocious mood as he mixes it up at the World Economic Forum. He signed a trade deal with China, stocks are soaring, and Iran’s top general is dead on his orders. Impeachment is a stain on his presidency, but globalist delegates already exasperated by his “America First” policies will be even more annoyed because Trump has real things to brag about.

Trump is just one of many big egos descending on the Swiss mountain resort. JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon, whose bank resoundingly beat fourth-quarter earnings estimates, is hosting several events. Salesforce.com boss Marc Benioff is preaching about woke capitalism.

But the president, with his penchant for hyperbole, outdoes them all. In an address to delegates on Tuesday, Trump declared that America was experiencing an economic boom “the likes of which the world had never seen before”. Last week Trump inked a pact with China, with an ambitious goal of having the People’s Republic buy $200 billion more in U.S. goods and services over two years. That helped stocks close at a new record high on Friday. The president went further at Davos saying total purchases could be closer to $300 billion.

The China agreement was agreed two weeks after Trump ordered a drone attack on Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif canceled his Davos trip. Last year, it was Trump who abruptly pulled out of the gathering amid a government shutdown, spurred by his fight with Democrats over a $6 billion border wall request.

Trump is an international joke

They laugh not just at him, but that those who voted for him

 

[Anathema]

I appreciate the civil response. I do also know that his incredible popularity is a function of anger and frustration. And by the way, I can especially understand how part of his appeal is how his behaviors fly in the face of PC and Identity Politics, a topic with which I disagree strongly with the Left. I get that.

No reason not to be civil. This frustration isn’t new. It’s a century and a half old. It’s just finally reached the point where many of us are hearing The Song of Angry Men (Les Miserables).

Where I'm most concerned is that (a) I also know that acting on this type of emotion, anger and frustration can lead to long term damage in ANY situation, and (b) part of this response includes Trumpsters literally allowing themselves to be isolated from any information that doesn't fit with their worldview. That's pretty freaking dangerous.

The damage to this country has already been done by the politicians and the political class. The whole idea thst politics could be a career would horrify the Founders. When you’ve already heard the lies 10 times, from both sides, what is there to listen to?

I think I get it for the most part -- the devotion to Trump is essentially a group primal scream -- but I don't think a republic can exist for long like this. And I also know that some Trumpsters are fine with that, too.

Maybe it’s time for the Tree of Liberty to be watered again. The politicians have abandoned the governing documents of the nation. It might be time to remove them all and start over from scratch.

In an address to delegates on Tuesday, Trump declared that America was experiencing an economic boom “the likes of which the world had never seen before”. Last week Trump inked a pact with China, with an ambitious goal of having the People’s Republic buy $200 billion more in U.S. goods and services over two years. That helped stocks close at a new record high on Friday. The president went further at Davos saying total purchases could be closer to $300 billion.

The China agreement was agreed two weeks after Trump ordered a drone attack on Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif canceled his Davos trip. Last year, it was Trump who abruptly pulled out of the gathering amid a government shutdown, spurred by his fight with Democrats over a $6 billion border wall request.

... The audience barely clapped during Trump’s comments - but he gave himself enough applause to make up for it.

Ears was really insufferable and lied repeatedly, but you loved and adored him. Why the hate for Donnie? Is it because your media sources tell you to.

Donald Trump speaks like a bullied schoolboy with an unreleased wedgie.

You are his wedgie.

Donald Trump performed like an elementary schoolboy at a show and tell offering nothing but lies. There were even some sniggers from the audience when he started his schoolboy rant.

Donald Trump's economy is not the best there has ever been. GDP growth is around 2% and debt growth is > 2 x GDP growth.

The engine of the Donald Trump economy is burgeoning government debt, which will have to be repaid one day if indeed it can be repaid after Donald Trump is finished growing it.

Donald Trump is not loved, only tolerated by the international community.

Donald Trump is trashing brand America with his bullshit, braggadocio, and his attitude toward allies.

DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters Breakingviews) - It’s a high bar but Donald Trump has quickly snagged the title of most insufferable man at Davos.

The U.S. president is in an especially braggadocious mood as he mixes it up at the World Economic Forum. He signed a trade deal with China, stocks are soaring, and Iran’s top general is dead on his orders. Impeachment is a stain on his presidency, but globalist delegates already exasperated by his “America First” policies will be even more annoyed because Trump has real things to brag about.
