Trump's very predictable message at Davos

President Donald Trump’s long, meandering speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, this week, wasn’t the bombshell everybody thought it was going to be. Despite Trump’s fixation on claiming Greenland for the United States and his threat to slap 10% tariffs on Washington’s closest European allies until they caved to these ambitions, Trump’s remarks were quite boring.

In fact, outside of his commitment not to use force to acquire Greenland, which many people in the room probably didn’t believe anyway, Trump’s speech simply reflected his already well-established views. These should be well known by now.
