Trump Bombs at Davos, Canada's Carney Leaves a Global Star

The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, sought to flatter Donald Trump nine years ago treating “the Donald” to a Bastille Day military parade, which Trump later sought to emulate in Washington, D.C. Macron had a quite different message this year, with Trump’s high-profile bid to annex Greenland. Fracturing the NATO alliance has elicited strong emotions, and troop deployments AGAINST the United States.

Trump spoke for more than an hour to the Davos Forum on Wednesday, rehashing fantasies about how the 2020 presidential election was “fixed,” talking endlessly about himself, and memorably referring to Greenland as Iceland multiple times.

And he served up what has become known as a “taco” for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” Amidst the bluster, he first backed off from the threat to use military force — we already have a base in Greenland — and later retreated from his threats to slap tariffs on any country backing Denmark’s hegemony on the self-governing, ice-covered island. Instead, Trump said a “framework” for resolving the U.S. demands has been agreed upon.

This is not funny.
