As the champion of the "forgotten man," some might wonder why he showed up to pal around with the hated global elite. But it's not difficult to believe Trump may enjoy rubbing it in that he's the world's most powerful man.
In a grand entrance, Trump strolled through a forest of smartphones held up to capture his arrival at the World Economic Forum. When someone asked the interloper whether the globalists would treat him well, he shot back: "You tell me."
Later, the leader of the global populist movement held court around a table packed with some of Europe's most powerful CEOs, as they showered him with gratitude for the corporate tax cut and deregulation policies

I dont agree with the tax plan because it further escalates our war on future generations, but you gotta admit that Trump is something else!

I think the rest of the world remains unimpressed:

Let me know if Trump announces any deals at Davos, because so far no one seems in a hurry to deal a bilateral deal with him.

With an article like this, it doesn't sound like that "something else" is "something good".

"The people he is going to see there have better manners than his. Because of that they will be polite," said Trump's biographer Michael D'Antonio.

"They have much to gain from his favor, and there is no reason for them to respond negatively to his face," D'Antonio said, though he predicted there would be plenty of whispering about Trump behind his back.

and,

"He is going for show and not for substance. In terms of global policy, he has nothing to say to the people of Davos," said Nicholas Dungan, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council who teaches at Sciences Po, a prestigious French research university.

"If he is the 'stable genius' of his own description, he will realize at the World Economic Forum that the rest of the planet is moving quite swiftly to fill the void of US leadership in the global system which the US itself created."

Anti Trump speculation, because this is CNN, because journalism has failed.

What the hell you talking about, Hawkeye?

Those are named sources.

If you want to make an argument for the revolution, that's reasonable and I can respect that. But statements like yours above, aren't garnering much respect.

Speculation with a name is still one person speculating, in this case likely added because Trump doing good can not be the story.

Trashy work from the so-called journalists being common now of course.

What we have here is trash talk.

WORTHLESS
