Trump, in Davos, Hopes to Sell the Story of U.S. Success
NY Times, Jan 25, 2018, Peter Baker

DAVOS, Switzerland — President Trump arrived at this mountaintop resort town on Thursday ready to challenge the prevailing economic order as he takes his “America First” message directly to the banking titans, corporate magnates and international leaders who have spent years preaching the virtues of global integration.

<snip>

Mr. Trump will discuss those differences when he gives his much-anticipated speech on Friday, but advisers said the plan was not to be belligerent. Instead, they said, he would reaffirm that he believed in robust trade, but that it had to be fair, and that the United States had not been treated well by its partners. And they said he would push for foreign investment in the United States, touting his success at lowering corporate taxes and rolling back business regulations.

“The agenda is going to be, again, that the U.S. is open for business, that the new tax law, tax cuts act, makes investing in the United States very attractive,” said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

"A Rabbi and a Priest buy a car together and it's being stored at the Priest's house. One day the Rabbi goes over to use the car and he sees him sprinkling water on it. The Rabbi asked, ''What are you doing?'' The Priest responded, ''I'm blessing the car.'' So the Rabbi said ''Okay, since we're doing that....'' and takes out a hacksaw and cuts two inches off the tail pipe."

Odd. The MSM told me that the Davos people were going to bring out a metal pail full of Big Macs for Donny to eat and then the they would all laugh at what a crude neanderthal he was. Looks like the exact opposite is happening.

He promised to bring Playmates and the girls from Vivid Entertainment if they were nice to him.  Why do you think he had so many choppers?
