I’m guessing the speech will be an awkward teleprompter snooze punctuated by a few embarrassing ad libs.
The tail has wagged the dog for decades now, we must be willing to sacrifice everything for Israel. Just because…
Forget Russian “interference”. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a far more open and documented example of a foreign power influencing American electoral politics, a subject that Democrats, not so curiously, avoid like the plague…
All economic policy must favor the wealthy. All foreign policy must favor Israel. We are a free nation supposedly…but there is football.
Am guessing audience responses throughout will be gasps of incredulity, polite - but unenthusiastic applause at the end, and fast exits to avoid any interaction with any of the Trump’s entourage US delegation. That is the best/least damaging prediction.
This is a more accurate background…
As Trump got off the helicopter in Davos, he gestured to aides who held him by the arms as he walked across the snowy landing zone to his waiting car.
I assume that there is video of this?! Why isn’t it all over the Intertubes by now, showing how weak and unstable Trump is, like it was when Hillary was helped up a set of stairs that had no railing?
Because they dissed Pence !
Donald Trump threatened to cut aid to the Palestinian Authority on Thursday, saying that Palestinians had “disrespected” Vice-President Mike Pence on his visit to the region.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, Trump told reporters, “respect has to be shown to the US or we’re just not going any further”.

He’s swanning around like Mussolini again–nose up in the air, grabbing the lapels of his coat, and pushing past others.
When Trump said:
The U.S. gives “hundreds of millions of dollars…that money is on the table and that money’s not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace.”
I’m guessing audience responses were something along the lines of:
“To which of the two sides did he address that threat?”
/ducks
That caught my eye as well. in that bit he says “decision(s) have consequences.” Like he has ever applied that gem to any of his own decisions/actions/tweets.
As Americans hate Palestinians just slightly more than Mexicans, expect a “meh” on the part of the body politic.
Or, “Does he realize how insignificant that amount is relative to the size of the American economy?”
Why not a carpet of banana peels? Bad planning, Swiss dudes…

He just vaguely knows it happens to other people, or it was in his morning fortune cookie…
All he needed was a set of Yaktrax on his shoes or boots. What a weenie.
