Trump Embarrasses Entire Country By Lying His Way Through Davos Speech

Donald Trump spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, marking his first international appearance as the new President of the United States. And to absolutely no one’s surprise, he made a complete fool of himself and the country. He made countless false claims that were immediately called out by both US media and international outlets, which obviously is going to set the tone for the next 4 years. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

On Thursday morning, Donald Trump was in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum, his first major event as president of the United States for his second term. You know, he'd only been president for, you know, less than three days at that point. And he's already in Switzerland, in front of all the other world leaders, in front of business leaders. What's he gonna do? What's he gonna say? Hopefully he doesn't embarrass us, right? Well, he immediately embarrassed both himself and the entire country of the United States by ranting and raving like a lunatic and spreading lie after lie. After lie. Not only was Donald Trump widely mocked by both people here in the United States, but also by people across the globe by our allies in Europe. They had to run headlines correcting all of the horrible, stupid things that Donald Trump lied about in his speech. So your first real test is president and you failed miserably, as we should have all expected here is, uh, just one thing that Donald Trump said. He goes from the standpoint of America, the EU treats us very, very unfairly, very badly. Yet they expect to be selling, and they do sell their products in the USA. So, so we have hundreds of billions of dollars of deficits with the EU and nobody's happy with it, and we're going to do something about it.

He's talking about tariffs, by the way. He's talking to these countries, like while he's being hosted by these countries, he's like, Hey, uh, we're gonna screw you over because of a perceived slight against us, which doesn't actually exist, but I'm just mad and angry and stupid, so to hell with all you folks. This is what I'm gonna do. He was immediately called out. This was from, uh, journalist Olga NATO Rova, who said, says The whole world saw the light when he won, says millions of Russians and Ukrainians died. He will end it by raising the price for oil. Says he negotiated the ceasefire. He got the Olympics, he got the soccer World Cup in four days, he got more done than any other admin in four years. None of these statements are true, said the journalist, uh, Patrick, uh, uh, ard, editor of a Sharper Blur said quote, I smell SFU fumes coming from Davos to downtown Switzerland. Right now, Trump is speaking close all doors and windows screenwriter. Randy Mam said, uh, Randy mam, singer, excuse me, said he still doesn't understand who pays tariffs. Another one columnist for the Courier Journal, Joe Girth, said Trump speaking at Davos, said the

United States doesn't need Canadian oil. I'm old enough to remember when Republicans freaked out about the Biden administration shutting down the Keystone XL Pipeline, which was intended to bring US oil from wait for it Canada, a white hose, white House, sco, uh, excuse me, correspondent for HuffPo, said he's answering questions from attendees at World Economic Forum in Davos. I don't know that a single assertion he has made thus far from the state of the economy in 2019 to how tariffs work and on and on and on and on is factually accurate. So again, international media having to call out the brand new president of the United States American media, having to call out the brand new president of the United States and Trump just sitting there lying his stupid little face off. If this is an omen for what is going to come in the next four years, then holy hell, folks, this is going to be rough. It's going to be rough on our relationships with our allies. It's going to be rough on all the people who have to suffer the consequences of this. But most importantly, it's gonna be rough just to listen to it because we are back in the era of nonstop lies all day, every day for the next four years.
