The Bilderberg group is a very useful group of people for helping nations to integrate and find comonality. This is helpful in avoiding conflict and boosting economic production, or at least it would seem to be.
But I would have expected the Bilderbergs, Overseers of the 'New World Order' to be a little more harsh on Trump than this article might suggest.

Bilderberg conference: attendees dodge the press as secretive meeting ends
OāLeary, at least, agreed to speak. I asked him about the top item on this yearās agenda: āThe Trump Administration: A progress reportā. What was Bilderbergās verdict?
OāLeary thought for a moment. āI would say ⦠reasonable. Heās got things done, but thereās more to do.ā
It sounds like Trumpās regulatory bonfire isnāt quite the howling blaze the CEOs and industrialists of Bilderberg would prefer, but itās a step in the right direction. Heās got potential.
Trumpās commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, must have made a good case. Ross was a clever choice of envoy: a private equity billionaire, a former trustee of Brookings and a former Rothschild investment banker. Heād fit right in at Bilderberg.
I asked if OāLeary had found the conference useful. āAbsolutely,ā he said. āItās always very useful.ā...
Bilderberg is plugged into the very highest levels of high finance and intelligence. There were two ex-CIA chiefs at this yearās conference: Gen David Petraeus and John Brennan, both of whom now work in the private sector. There was the current US national security adviser, HR McMaster, and a former director of MI6, Sir John Sawers, who now sits on the board of BP.
At its deepest level, the group is dominated by transnational finance and big business. The conference chairman is a director of HSBC, the newly appointed treasurer is the head of Deutsche Bank, and the administrative body is run by a senior adviser to Goldman Sachs.
The relationship between Bilderberg and Goldman Sachs runs deep. This yearās conference featured senior figures from the bank; the annual returns of American Friends of Bilderberg, a tax-exempt group, show it registered to the address of a Goldman Sachs board member, James A Johnson. Its sister organisation, the UK-based Bilderberg Association, is heavily funded by Goldman Sachs and registered to the business address of Simon Robertson, former managing director of the bankās London operation, Goldman Sachs International.
The current chairman of Goldman Sachs International, JosĆ© Manuel Barroso, sits on the Bilderberg steering committee, alongside the chairman of the bankās International Advisory Board, Robert Zoellick. In other words, if Goldman Sachs is the āvampire squidā that Rolling Stoneās Matt Taibbi said it was, Bilderberg is its brain: doing the deep thinking, inviting historians and futuristsā perspectives, trying to work out where the world is going, doing its best to make sure everything stays more or less on course.
