Donald Trump Hates On Globalism, Celebrates Economic Nationalism at Davos

“Today I hold up the American model as an example to the world of a working system of free enterprise that will produce the most benefits for the most people in the 21st century and beyond,” he said.

He trumpeted his successes despite a growing number of critics who predicted a global recession and a shrinking middle class when he was elected president.

The president criticized past trade deals that gutted American industry and celebrated the new successful trade deals with China, Mexico, Canada, and other nations.

“I think it’s primarily the reason that I ran,” Trump said, recalling how previous administrations allowed jobs and factories to leave the country.

The president criticized the experts and the critics who repeatedly predicted economic and environmental catastrophe for the world.

“We must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse. They are the heirs of yesterday’s foolish fortunetellers,” Trump said.

He recalled false scientific predictions of overpopulation, mass starvation, and an end of oil in past decades.

“These alarmists always demand the same thing, absolute power to dominate, transform, and control every aspect of our lives,” he said. “We will never let radical socialists destroy our economy, wreck our country or eradicate our liberty.”
