When Trump was first elected, he announced that the days of the United States giving other countries a free ride on trade were over. Democrats and their allies media mocked him, suggested he was naive for believing he had the power to transform the American economy simply by evening the playing field with other nations through tough trade deals.
They couldn’t have been more wrong.
Trump’s recent reception from top business leaders around the world at the Davos Economic Summit proves it.
The Daily Mail reported on Trump’s powerful and positive speech at Davos to world leaders – ‘This is not a time for pessimism. This is a time for optimism,’ Trump said, which was in stark contrast to Thunberg and others, who used the conference to warn that the Australian wildfires and other disasters were only the beginning of the climate chaos that lie ahead.
To ’embrace the possibilities of tomorrow,’ Trump said, ‘we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse.’
‘They are the heirs of yesterday’s fortune tellers,’ Trump stated. ‘They predicted an over-population crisis in the 1960s, mass starvation in the 70s, and an end of oil in the 1990s.’
‘These alarmists always demand the same thing – absolute power to dominate, transform and control every aspect of our lives,’ Trump continued. ‘We will never let radical socialists destroy our economy, wreck our country or eradicate our liberty.’
‘America’s thriving, America’s flourishing, and yes America is winning again like never before,’ Trump told the crowd.
His appearance began and ended with polite applause.
He boasted of the ‘blue-collar boom’ he had brought on, while touting the two trade deals he signed last week, comparing his record to the ‘rather dismal state’ of the economy under his predecessor, President Obama.
Watch:
Yesterday, during an appearance on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” Fox Business Network host Charles Payne touted the “absolutely remarkable reception” Trump received from world leaders.
Payne relayed comments from highly successful business leaders around the world, including one of the richest men in Africa who stood up and told President Trump, “Not only do we admire you, but Africa’s rooting for America.” Payne added, “And then he had the President of FIFA, the World Cup, saying that it’s their goal to create a million jobs to America when they bring the World Cup to North America. Then, later on in the morning, the representative from the World Trade Organization admitted that there were flaws in the World Trade Organization and that they would like to address them.”
Payne told the “America’s Newsroom” hosts, “It was really absolutely remarkable to see these global leaders, whether they were billionaires or the top business leaders in their countries, one after another announcing their commitment to come to America and to bring jobs to America.”
