On stage at Davos, however, Trump looked like he might be entering his final season, and that what’s left of Trump’s brain is starting to realize it. 

 

A deep dive into the orange buffoon's speech at Davos and how bonkers it really was.

Exactly, he is a fading horse living in a glittering fantasy world. His own citizens, on the other hand, are less fortunate.

 

How can one expect millionaire politicians to care about the real everyday problems of the people? Even more astonishing, how can his MAGA voters seriously believe this? It‘s completely absurd. But apparently it doesn't hurt Americans enough yet.

Something I have picked up through all of this is the statement by Trump that "the Golden Dome is going to be very expensive, very good, great, cost a lot of money"...or words to that effect. 

 

How can these dirt-poor voters in the likes of Appalachia, who can no longer afford food, gas, heating etc continue to think that he is working for their interests? 

 

If this magical Golden Dome (very obviously a Netanyahu idea forced into his head  - aka the Iron Dome) is going to cost a fortune, why don't they simply defer its creation and funnel some of that massive amount into helping US citizens in their desperate time of need? 

 

Greed, avarice, a 100% belief that might is right and might = wealth.

Amazing speech. Probably will go over Trumps head that US could be relatively isolated. Already happening with trade diversification

It wouldn't take a lot to collapse the US economy and with it, the country itself. Simply stop trading in USD and switch to the Euro, Yen or other currency. 

 

Sell off US treasury bonds. 

 

Cease all US imports. 

 

Watch the US economy tank overnight.

The NY Times - In Testimony, Jack Smith Defends Decision to Prosecute Trump  (unlocked link)

 

22 Jan 2026

 


Jack Smith, the special prosecutor who twice indicted Donald J. Trump, defended his investigation in a tense and long-awaited appearance before a House committee on Thursday - flatly accusing Mr. Trump of causing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. ...

 

Mr. Smith’s restrained testimony amounted to the summation he was never allowed to deliver in a courtroom, and concluded that Mr. Trump “engaged in criminal activity” that undermined democracy and the rule of law. ...

 

Our investigation revealed that Donald Trump is the person who caused Jan. 6, that it was foreseeable to him and that he sought to exploit the violence” Mr. Smith said ...

 

 

A brave man.  😳

Must've been quite a challenge for Emmanuel Macron to sit there in the audience and not bust out laughing at this hallucinating muppet.

That guy looks absolutely haunted and more so every time I see a picture. The level of harassment and death threats against Jack Smith must be unbelievable. Years and years of it..

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/trump-disinvites-canada-from-gaza-board-of-peace/ar-AA1UMBEI?cvid=a9f8b6dbf6484acce09e40bdb4a5eb80&ei=8

 

The president did not specify why he was withdrawing the invitation to Carney, but his social media post came after the prime minister raised concerns about the board and pushed back sharply at Trump’s remark that “Canada lives because of the United States” in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday.

 

“Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian,” Carney said earlier Thursday.

 

And now the world's biggest baby has a sulk and disinvites a country from his sham "Board of Peace" because they hurt his precious feelings 🙄

 

I hope Canada didn't pay him a cent.
