One for him and one for Canadian Prime Minister.
I'm 🤯🤪
Where do we stand betweens these two feedbacks from auditors?
I nevertheless have a question: are they the same people in front of both speakers? Trump is able to place fans only for this purpose.
Trump: Canada should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the
US. Remember that Mark next time you make your statements.
Trump: And | know so many people from Switzerland. Incredible place,
incredible brilliant place. But | then realized that they're only good
because of us.

It’s interesting to me that Trump has so quickly backed off on the threat of using force in Greenland. Someone talked him off the ledge. Maybe the massing European troops raised the stakes enough for his advisors to hesitate. Maybe the generals said they would not attack a NATO member nation (a clearly illegal order). Maybe he never had military support at all, and was talking out of his ass all along. Who knows? The point is, they called his bluff, and he folded like wet napkin. I think people need to learn from this. Calling Trump’s bluffs works, especially when you team up with other communities to call his bluff together.

#Trump delivers #Davos “speech” as tensions with #Europe grow over #Greenland
Trump began by saying it was great to be addressing "so many friends, a few enemies", prompting laughter in the auditorium.
He went on to seriously exaggerate & lie about the “success” of the US #economy.

"When even millionaires like us recognise that extreme wealth has cost everyone else everything else, there can be no doubt that society is dangerously teetering off the edge of a precipice.”

Historian Rutger #Bregman called out #billionaires face to face in #Davos.
"It’s that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss #climatechange and #poverty! Anyway, here’s my annual reminder. I’ll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive #taxavoidance." 💰
