Trump will attend the Davos conference. Everyone else is saying oh please god no.

Behind Closed Doors At Davos: “Make Elites Great Again”
Panic grips the World Economic Forum.

The scene at Davos this year was something verging on panic. Politicians and “thought leaders” (a term used unironically at the elite gathering) grappled with the wave of populism sweeping the planet. The specter of Brexit and Trump hung over everything. European defense ministers, namely those from Germany and the Netherlands, gathered to openly discuss what it would mean to defend the continent without US support. Top Ukrainian officials pleaded not to be forgotten as Europe grapples with its own issues.

For the first time in years, the sense of crisis was pinned squarely on the West.

Everyone seemed to agree that they had “lost the narrative.”

“The demagogues have got the right idea of the problems but are misleading people about the solutions,” said Salil Shetty, the head of Amnesty International. Of the political hand-wringing he said: “These same conversations have been happening for years. We keep being told there are winners and losers. We keep being told the exact same thing. We never learn.”
