The Moonie Times.
In the rest of the world, here is what they thought of Trumpās speech. Big yawn. He received tepid applause from the assembled oligarchs. Trumpās delegation responded with much enthusiasm and gave him a standing ovation. No one else in the room joined in.
Every world leader who goes to Davos say his/her country is āopen for businessā so that cliche basically had no meaning to the oligarchs.
Here is the problem for Trump. No one trusts anything Dumb Donald says. What he says today, he will say the opposite of tomorrow, especially if he says words his speechwriters put on the TelePrompter. Or heāll deny what he said in the first place. There is no consistency in his messaging or his positions.
Iām willing to bet that the Trumpās new mantra āAmerica first, but not aloneā is to counter the loss of business which is starting to happen because of Trumpās protectionism. Mexico wonāt be buying $3 billion in agricultural products from the US. They signed a deal with Argentina for that.
And Trump was booed during the speech. He was booed when he attacked the media as āfake newsā.
The world economy is strong. There are lots of other countries. Some of them even have stable, consistent and reliable leaders who donāt say things today that they deny tomorrow.
The US is now seen as a less stable country than it was before Trump. There are lots of stable first world countries, with better education, better and cheaper health care options, and much better infrastructure than the US.
The conservative right has run your country into the ground since Reagan. American infrastructure is rated as a D on the annual report card. Many bridges are dangerously close to collapse. 40 years of neglect got you to this point. Other countries were smarter.
While Americans relied on the āfree marketā to provide internet access to the country, other country invested tax dollars into ensuring everyone in the country has access to high speed data connections. The result for Americans is a patchy network which is inadequate to support business needs in many parts of the country. There wasnāt enough potential profit in these areas to make the capital expenditure worth while.
Except for Israelis and Russian, no one other than Trumpbots, thinks Trump is a rock star. Heās just a fat lying fool wearing a ākick meā sign.
