Trump Cabinet secretary: If the world doesnt like Trump at Davos, They can leave
By Tommy Christopher | January 24, 2018
This is what passes for American "leadership" now.
Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao at the Davos World Economic Forum

Donald Trump heads to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, but one of his Cabinet secretaries is already there and shes already causing an embarrassment for the United States.
Sadly, global humiliation is already becoming a tradition for the Trump teams travels abroad.
Trumps trip to Davos has left him vulnerable to criticism from his anti-globalist base, but the White House pitched his appearance as a chance to sell his accomplishments and remind the world that we are open for business, that were a competitive country.
But during a Davos forum on Wednesday, Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao delivered a message that sounded a lot more like alienation than an invitation.
Members of the panel were asked if the U.S. is retreating from its role as a global leader and becoming just another country.
When it was Chaos turn to answer, she suggested it would be best to let Trump answer that. But she offered her own arrogant take on the issue.
Davos should be very flattered that he has chosen this as a forum, and so those that dont want to listen to him, you can they can leave! Chao stated.
When we talk about Americas role around the globe, its not as if America is going to withdraw, she continued, going on to say that America has been the chump for its role in ensuring global peace and security........................

(10,023 posts)Honestly, if I was a Davis member, I would walk out. Trump is an ignorant fool in debt up to his eyeballs and at most has two terms as President. Let the U.S. flail and fail. Davos members can wait it out.
