It has been said many times over the past few days. The election of President Donald Trump was the completion of the most amazing political comeback in American history. Even those who do not count themselves among Trump’s biggest fans have had to admit that fact. However, Trump’s victory, and the fact that it was a statement by the American people, is moving beyond U.S. borders and being recognized worldwide. While Americans are still very much in a celebratory mode, across the pond, however, Trump’s return is seemingly being viewed by one group as a bit of a curiosity and maybe even a bit of a threat.

This week, that august body known as the World Economic Forum (WEF) is gathering in the ski resort town of Davos, Switzerland. But in the shadow of Trump’s inauguration, the mood among the world’s elitists is not the usual jovial “we’re better than everyone” vibe. In fact, it is downright serious. How serious? During a panel discussion, of which the topic was what else, Donald Trump, Yale University Professor Robert Reed, said to the Euroweenies in attendance that those who are elitist enough to be in Davos need to understand “who’s won, which is Trump, but who’s lost, which is to say us.”

Reed painted the picture of Trump and America winning, but he couched it in dire terms for Europe. He continued saying,
“Who is losing here is Europe. The European Union, and by and large, its member states, have misread the direction where events were going. The causes that it is interested in; climate, human rights, some others, as well as the methods of diplomacy that it prefers, are simply being gradually kind of marginalized as something new — not necessarily something better — but something new, moves into the centre.”

THIS is why the WEF is worried.

Reed went on to admit that globalist philosophy is failing and rambled on about how “modern man had somehow reached the “end of history,” which somehow means the world’s rubes, like Americans, need a group of people who know better than anyone else to manage “incremental shifts.” Reed’s fellow panelist, Graham Allison, political scientist and Professor of Government at Harvard University, agreed, and brought up Trump’s resurgence and even warned against dismissing it, saying,
“This is the greatest comeback in political history of a politician and then, therefore, he thinks he can do anything. There’s a supreme confidence about that. This is a phenomenon that we shouldn’t try to understand only in the terms that we’re traditionally accepting. We should say something strange, new, and amazing is happening here, and we should study it.”
Unfortunately for the self-proclaimed aristocrats in Davos, it’s not just Americans who are rejecting their liberal globalist ideas. Leaders like Trump are being elected all over the world. Argentine President Javier Milei and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni are just a few. But the gang at the WEF are like any other group in that they have their die-hards, the true believers. Another unfortunate fact is that one of the true believers in Davos is head snootist John Kerry. Kerry managed to get his fifteen minutes in front of a microphone and continued with the notion that the world must get rid of fossil fuels to reach “net zero” emissions by 2050. I’m sure it was purely unintentional that Lurch forgot to mention that all those who traveled to Davos on their private jets would, of course, be exempt from the new “mission definition.” One question, though: Joe Biden is gone. Who does John Kerry think he has been dispatched to represent?

Since they gather there every year, the Davos crowd will almost certainly always have a much greater influence on Europe than the U.S., even more so now with the return of Donald Trump, who will address the meeting virtually on Thursday. No word on whether Trump will tell John Kerry he’s fired. It sure is fun to watch them admit defeat.
