World Economic Forum


The World Economic Forum is a private organization formed in 1971 in Geneva Switzerland. The January 2020 meeting in Davos Switzerland had 2500 people in attendance from 100 countries.

Trump attended and addressed the meeting encouraging leaders of all nations to put their own countries first, cut taxes, cut unnecessary regulations, pursue reciprocal bi-lateral trade, reduce welfare migration and increase jobs and national productivity. Trump is leading by example and encouraging all countries to recognize the realities of their own economic futures.

Trump’s focus is on jobs, industry, technology, economic growth and expanding the private sector economy. His success in restoring the US economy is a model that other countries can use to recover from their own 2019 reduction in GDP.  Trump is the first President since Reagan to function as the “Leader of the Free World”.

Attendees are not limited to big fans of free market capitalism. Many are international Communists and Special Interest Parasites who are clueless to how economies are built.  These Liberals are drawn to politics, but hate voters and want to see them eliminated. They are Global Marxists who want to replace the family with the state.
