Interestingly, I’ve been saying for two years now that the US Democrats, the CIA, and TPTB, are afraid of Donald Trump and the agenda a second term of his would entail. Their vehement persecution of him proves it to my satisfaction. Now Reuters agrees. And yes, Davos Man is indeed afraid of Orange Man Bad.
All that Reuters reports is not entirely correct; here and there they say the opposite of what they mean or phrase things disingenuously. For example, though they say they are not afraid of Trump interfering with Biden’s putting pressure on China, what they are actually afraid of is that Trump will put pressure on China.
“LONDON, Jan 12 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The most talked-about person in Davos next week will be nowhere near the Swiss mountain resort. As politicians, financiers and chief executives converge for this year’s World Economic Forum, Donald Trump will be 7,500 kilometres away in Iowa, starting his quest to win the U.S. Republican Party’s presidential nomination for the third time. Even so, his possible return to the White House will pervade Davos discussions on topics ranging from Ukraine, China, trade, and climate change.”
And the WEF is not afraid that Trump will disrupt global trade, but will use tariffs to interrupt THEIR idea of global trade. And of course, they’re afraid of Trump calling out climate change as “fake news” and disseminating “misinformation.”
“Amusingly, the former commander-in-chief’s name is missing from the WEF’s 124-page Global Risks Report, published on Wednesday. Even so, the prospect of another divisive U.S. election campaign dominated by accusations of “fake news” – and featuring millions of voters who still believe Trump won four years ago – is probably one reason why respondents listed “misinformation and disinformation” as the most severe risk facing the planet in the coming two years, ahead of “extreme weather events”. “Societal polarization” came in third.”
And they fear that Trump will disturb their war with Russia. And other stuff. It's not a great article, but it does show the chumminess between the old Press and the new WEF.
But whodduh thunket? The Davos Set, too, is afraid of Donald Trump.

You just shattered my faith in the media.

Are you saying that's the same as saying the sky is not entirely green? Maybe I could have left that out.

And now Trump will not merely destroy "our democracy" or the United States, but the WHOLE WORLD. He's a greater risk than Global Warming and its concomitant "extreme weather events."
Who can resist voting for this guy just to see him try?

in 2016, Trump winning was preceded by Brexit. This year it looks like German Farmers and Polish Truckers are starting a bad year for Davos Man. I still think less than 10% of people are Red Pilled, but the Leftist overreach has started a backlash in many Normies.
