Trump Storms Davos

[Mountain Man]

And as CNN's International Diplomatic Editor, Nic Robertson, dismayingly reported about how Trump was received:

Oh my gosh, he was waving? Does the man have no shame?

Well the hoped for throngs of protesters didn't materialize and the attendees didn't snub him like they were supposed to so the very least Trump could have done was act cowed and hung his head in shame, and maybe hissed angrily at the crowds.

Why should anyone be embarrassed by the success of one born with a silver spoon in their mouths, particularly a 4 time bankrupt, lying, conniving, cheating, money laundering, thief, like Trump?

LOL perfect example of sour grapes.

Sour grapes, please, the guy makes me ill, not envious. I'm a progressive Sparko, I don't worship money which seems to be what you consider to be success.

Sure you do. Pretty much all you do is talk about money and how the rich are ripping off the poor, despite you claiming to be one of the rich! Quite a hypocrite. Why haven't you given your wealth to the needy?

Untrue all. And I do pay my taxes to help those in need, just as do you, the only difference is that I am happy to do so and you are not.

[Mountain Man]

Only morons think paying your taxes is a form of charity.

And as CNN's International Diplomatic Editor, Nic Robertson, dismayingly reported about how Trump was received:

A bit more.

Bloomberg news joined USA Today in predicting that "some of the Davos crowd may boycott Trump's speech on Friday, or walk out of it" while the British press acknowledged that Trump instead received a very warm welcome from a group who last year collectively, and quite loudly, bemoaned his election.

The US president was greeted by adoring crowds as he arrived to plug his economic agenda at the World Economic Forum in Davoshe arrived at the venue to a rapturous reception - a sight that is sure to upset his left wing critics.

He smiled and even high-fived some in the crowd that surrounded him taking pictures as he entered the building.

Very odd to me. Apparently voting for Democrats and being happy to pay your taxes is true righteousness; actually helping people out of one's own pocket, voluntarily and maybe even to the point that it hurts, counts for little. (?)

I am not talking about paying taxes. I am talking about giving your money to help the poor directly.

Doing the former doesn't stop one from doing the latter. But, not everyone will do the latter anyway and it wouldn't take care of the needs of society, thats what taxes are for.

I know you are, because you want to distract and make it personal, but that is not what I or anyone else was talking about.

I have it on good authority that the warm reception was meant ironically. No, really!

No doubt "The American president was by far the hottest ticket at the World Economic Forum in Davos", people love a freak show.

I know you are, because you want to distract and make it personal, but that is not what I or anyone else was talking about.

So you think you are altruistic and helping the poor by paying taxes and that is all you need to do to help the disadvantaged you keep talking about? People are starving and you are giving them about $100/year from your taxes to help them?

I guess that makes you a murderer since most of your taxes are probably going towards military spending which kills people all over the world, right?
