DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — The Latest on the World Economic Forum in Davos (all times local):

2 a.m.

President Donald Trump says he's going to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, "to tell the world how great America is and is doing."

"Our economy is now booming and with all I am doing, will only get better...Our country is finally WINNING again!" the president adds in a tweet before departing the White House for the summit.

The annual gathering convening many of the world's business and political elites in the Swiss Alps is a surprising destination for Trump, who ran for office promoting an "America First" agenda.

in pretty much any fashion imaginable ... I, for one, will be rejoicing over that occasion.

Oh, and BTW ... what a fucking embarrassment to our Country this 'tweet' from the Orange Shitgibbon is.

And guess what, Trumpy? Your 'base', the ones that this tweet is meant for, and the only ones who 'appreciate' it? Just so you know ... in the eyes of the Davos crowd, you've 'succeeded' in 'impressing' a fair-sized lot of ... ummmm ... very SLOW ... individuals. That doesn't mean you're impressing THEM ... in the least.

To try to con them into accepting him as a leader, and he's clearly not. He can't be trusted, and is corrupt, and a serial liar.

His "wife" will not travel with him, he is being investigated for Russian meddling in the last election, his daughter is running the WH with no experience whatsoever. He is about to be a three time loser in marriage. He pays off porn actresses. He is a ruddy faced lard assed repulsive troll. He has a high opinion of himself, but cannot convince others that he is GREAT and WEALTHY. His rein is about to come to a screeching halt, and none too soon.

That anyone could find his carnival barker act remotely believable or intelligent.

“We’re doing an amazing job, amazing..”. “Everything I’m doing..” “Believe me”... No facts, no basis in reality, just pure unadulterated bull crap.

Uber rich pampered wannabe kings who have lost their humanity due to isolation and sycophants. Who pillaged and hoodwink nations out of their wealth.

62 people who have stolen wealth equal to 3.6 billion people.

Yeah, Trump will fit right in.
