President Donald Trump just delivered a masterclass in America First diplomacy, and the global elites at Davos are still picking their jaws up off the floor.
In a virtual address to the World Economic Forum on Thursday, the 47th President didn't mince words. He demanded that Saudi Arabia and OPEC immediately slash oil prices, warned foreign companies to manufacture in America or face crushing tariffs, and made it crystal clear: the United States is back, and we're done playing games.
"Drill, Baby, Drill" Goes Global
Trump wasted no time putting the world's oil cartels on notice. "I'm going to demand that oil prices come down immediately," the President declared, sending shockwaves through the Davos crowd — a room full of the same globalist elites who've been trying to force "green" energy down America's throat for decades.
The message was unmistakable: while the climate cultists at the WEF push their Great Reset fantasies, President Trump is focused on what actually matters — lowering costs for hardworking American families.
"With oil prices going down, I'll demand that interest rates drop immediately. And likewise, they should be dropping all over the world."
That's leadership, folks. Not apologizing for American prosperity. Not begging for approval from European bureaucrats. Just straight talk and real results.
Tariffs: The Ultimate Negotiating Tool
The President also doubled down on his tariff strategy, and the globalists are absolutely seething. Trump announced that any company that doesn't manufacture their products on American soil will face significant tariffs — potentially as high as 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico, and steep levies on Chinese goods.
"Come make your product in America, and you won't have to pay tariffs," Trump explained. "But if you don't, you're going to pay a tariff — and it's going to be a lot of money coming into our Treasury."
This is Economics 101 that the Washington establishment has ignored for decades. Why should American workers compete against slave wages overseas? Why should we ship our manufacturing base to China while our own cities crumble?
The Left's Predictable Meltdown
Of course, the legacy media and their Democrat allies immediately went into hysterics. How dare an American president put America first! The audacity of demanding fair trade deals! The horror of affordable energy!
These are the same people who cheered as Biden's policies sent gas prices through the roof and inflation to 40-year highs. Now they're clutching their pearls because Trump wants to bring prices DOWN?
Make it make sense.
A Clear Message to the World
President Trump also used the Davos platform to remind global businesses why America is the place to invest. With regulatory reform, tax cuts, and a president who actually understands business, the United States is positioned for an economic renaissance — if the globalists and their Democrat allies don't get in the way.
"There's never been a better time to invest in America," Trump told the crowd, many of whom have spent years betting against our country.
Well, Patriots, the bet is off. America is open for business, energy prices are coming down, and the globalist agenda is on life support.
The question isn't whether Trump's policies will work — we already saw them work in his first term. The real question is: will the establishment try to sabotage American prosperity again, or will they finally get out of the way?
One thing's for certain: President Trump isn't asking for permission. He's getting results. And that's exactly why the Left is enraged.
