Davos attendees are quietly planning to walk out of Trump’s speech

A growing number of Davos attendees are planning to walk out of US president Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum this Friday (Jan. 26), several conference-goers told Quartz, to protest his remarks about African countries earlier this month.

Trump repeatedly called African countries “shitholes” in a closed-door meeting about immigration, attendee Senator Dick Durbin and others have said.

Boycotting Trump’s Davos speech was first broached by Business Leadership South Africa CEO (and Davos attendee) Bonang Mohale in an open letter. Leaving Trump’s speech after he starts is probably more powerful than boycotting it entirely, some Davos attendees speculate.

So the corrupt leaders of the worlds shitholes are planning to walk out

Sounds like some more foreign aid we can withhold.

True.  Foreign elitists walking out on the President will be seen as different from the President's domestic critics. 

As Boon said - they can't do that to our pledges, only we can do that to our pledges!
