Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous speech in Davos, Switzerland. As he arrived in Davos, he really couldn't even walk straight. And then he started his speech where he confused taking over Greenland with taking over Iceland.
3:00And he confused Greenland and Iceland multiple times. Let's play this clip. decades but the problem with nato is that we'll be there for them a hundred percent but i'm not sure that they'd be there for us if we gave them the call gentlemen we are being attacked we're under attack by such and such a nation i know them all very well i'm not sure that they'd be there i know we'd be there for them i don't know that they'd be there for us. So with all of the money we expend, with all of the blood, sweat and tears, I don't know that they'd be there for us. They're not there for us on Iceland. That I can tell you.
3:44I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money. But that dip is peanuts compared to what it's gone up. And we have an unbelievable future. And that's. And then he continued to refer to Greenland as just a block of ice and he's like all we're asking for is a block of ice just give us the block of ice okay here play this clip so we want a piece of ice for world protection and they won't give it we've never asked for anything else and we could have kept that piece of land and we didn't so they have a choice you can say yes and we will be very appreciative or you can say no and we will remember then donald trump threatened canada and said canada should be grateful to the united states because they wouldn't exist without us remember that prime minister carney the next time you give a speech because prime minister carney's speech stood up forcefully against donald trump's threats so now donald trump threatening Canada.
4:56Here play this clip. To just by its very nature going to be defending Canada. Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should be grateful also, but they're not. I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful. They should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements. What we did. And then Donald Trump starts talking about the Somalian population in America. And he says that they turned out to be higher IQ than we thought because they were so good at fraud. Let's play this clip. Nineteen billion dollars in fraud that was stolen by Somalian bandits.
5:44Can you believe that Somalia, they turned out to be higher IQ than we thought? I always say these are low IQ people. How do they go into Minnesota and steal all that money? and we have, you know, they're pirates, they're good pirates, right? But we shoot them out of the water just like we shoot the drug boats out. They're not pirating too many boats lately, do you notice? And by the way, throughout this speech, Donald Trump just sounded absolutely horrible. Just play this clip. Just listen to the way he sounds here. Here, play this clip. All caused by this horrible president, just horrible president.
6:16I'm asking Congress to cap credit card interest rates at 10 % for one year. Then Donald Trump said that NATO refers to him as daddy. But now they don't call him daddy anymore since he says he wants to take over Greenland and that confuses him. Here play this clip. But in doing it, I'm helping Europe. I'm helping NATO. And I've until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me daddy right last time. Very smart man said he's our daddy. He's running it. I was like running it. I went from running it to being a terrible human being. Then he whines about the 2020 election.
6:58And in front of the World Economic Forum, he continues to say that the 2020 election was rigged. Let's play it. It's a war that should have never started, and it wouldn't have started if the 2020 U.S. presidential election weren't rigged. It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that they found out. People will soon be prosecuted for what they did. it's probably breaking news but it should be it's a rigged election can't have rigged elections then donald trump explains why it's not sufficient that greenland is part of nato within the kingdom of denmark and why he wants to own it he said i can't handle something that's a licensing deal why would i want to protect greenland if i have a license to it That's why I need ownership, because if I don't have ownership, then how could there be any protection?
7:53No one protects something they just license. What are you licensing deals? What are you talking about? Do you understand the way NATO works? Like, do you understand anything? This is truly the worst speech ever. Here play this clip. So what we have gotten out of NATO is nothing except to protect Europe from the Soviet Union and now Russia. I mean, we've helped them for so many years. We've never gotten anything except we pay for NATO. And we've paid for many years until I came along. We paid for, in my opinion, 100 % of NATO because they weren't paying their bills. And all we're asking for is to get Greenland, including right title and ownership, because you need the ownership to defend it.
8:42You can't defend it on a lease. Number one, legally, it's not defensible that way. Totally. And number two, psychologically, who the hell wants to defend a license agreement? Then Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum tells everybody that all of the prices in America are coming down, which they are not. He goes grocery prices are down, energy prices are down, airfares are coming down. Here, play this clip that he said. But now grocery prices, energy prices, airfares, mortgage rates, rent and car payments are all coming down and they're coming down fast. We inherited a mess, but we've done a hell of a job in 12 months.
9:26Then he makes horrifically racist comments about Minnesota. And he says Minnesota shows that you can't import foreign cultures that can't even build societies of their own. Play this clip. The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot mass import foreign cultures, which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own. I mean, we're taking people from Somalia and Somalia is a failed, it's not a nation. New year, new you, right? We're all talking about eating better, taking care of ourselves, upgrading what we put into our bodies. But if we're doing that for ourselves and the people we love, why would we keep feeding our dogs the same old mystery kibble?
10:12That's why I love Sundays for Dogs. Sundays was founded by a veterinarian and mom, Dr. Tori Waxman, who got tired of seeing so-called premium dog food full of fillers and synthetics. So she designed Sundays, air-dried, real food made in a human-grade kitchen using the same ingredients and care that you'd use to cook for yourself and your family. Every bite of Sundays is clean and made from 100 % meat and superfoods with no kibble. That means no weird ingredients you can't pronounce and no fillers. Compared to kibble or other brands out there, Sundays invests 50 times more in its ingredients to ensure premium quality.
10:49Real premium quality. Because your dog deserves food made with care, not in the interest of cost cutting. And honestly, I've seen the difference myself. My pup has more energy and a softer coat, better digestion, and honestly seems just happier and more comfortable overall. It feels good knowing that I'm feeding her the same kind of quality food that I'd expect for myself. I wouldn't want it any other way. The best part, you just scoop and serve. No freezer, no thawing or prep. No mess, just nutrient-rich, clean food that fuels their happiest, healthiest days, so you get more of them to share together.

Then he talks about how he spoke to a lady from Switzerland. He's not sure what her position was in Switzerland, but he didn't like her. She rubbed him the wrong way because when he said, you have to give me everything and I'm going to tariff you more if I don't get everything, she said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Donald.
12:12Please no. And that rubbed me the wrong way, he said. Here, play this clip. They make us because of us because we never charged him anything. So they come in, they sell their watches. no tariffs no nothing they walk away they make 41 billion dollars on just us so i said no we can't do that so i'm going to bring it up i still would have a deficit pretty substantial but i brought it up to 30 percent and the i guess prime minister i don't think president i think prime minister called a woman and she was very repetitive she said no no no you cannot do that 30 percent you cannot do that we are a small small country i said yeah but you have a big big deficit you may be small but you have a bigger deficit than big countries he said no no no please you cannot do it kept saying the same thing over and over we are a small country i said but you're a big country in terms of, and he just rubbed me the wrong way, I'll be honest with you.
13:19Then Donald Trump says that he's helping Minnesota. They just don't realize it yet, but they should be grateful for what he's doing to them. Here, play this clip. 11 ,888 murders. We've gotten most of them out. And then ICE gets beat up by stupid people from leadership in Minnesota. We actually are helping Minnesota so much, but they don't appreciate it. Most places do, you know, watch. Then he says that he just realized and he's speaking in Davos in Switzerland. He says that Switzerland is only a great country because of him and the United States of America. Play this clip. I mean, like you wouldn't believe.
13:59And I know so many people from Switzerland, incredible place, credible, brilliant place. but I didn't realize that they're only good because of us. And there's so many other examples. I mean, us, probably other places, but a majority of the money they make is because of us. Donald Trump then says we're bringing back battleships, that those don't exist anymore. We're bringing them back. The beautiful ones like they had in the world wars. Here, play this clip. Budget of$1.5 trillion. We're bringing back battleships. the battleship is 100 times more powerful than the great battleships you saw in world war ii those great big gorgeous ships the missouri the iowa the alabama because i thought maybe we could take them out of mothballs they said no sir these ships are 100 think of that 100 times more powerful than those big big magnificent pieces of art then donald trump says that uh the that these missiles these patriot missiles would cost 50 million dollars but they would take many years and he said my chauffeur can do a better job making these missiles okay here play this clip i mean they were making 50 million dollars but it would take them three years to give you a Patriot missile.
15:24I said, that's not good. My chauffeur can do a better job than that. And he makes slightly less than 50. They make big salaries. If they're going to make those big salaries, they're going to have to produce a lot faster. The good news is he then mocks the audience and says they'd all be speaking German and Japanese if it wasn't for the United States in World War Two. Let's play this clip. In our hemisphere. So we did it for ourselves also. And then after the war, which we won, we won it big without us. Right now, you'd all be speaking German and a little Japanese, perhaps. After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark.
16:09How stupid were we to do that? But we did it. Then Donald Trump says, but I'm probably not going to invade Greenland. And he goes, the only way we'd get it, I guess, is if we use excessive strength and force. But I'm probably not going to do that here. Play this clip here. Yes, he's here. Hello, Mark. We never asked for anything and we never got anything. We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force where we would be frankly unstoppable. but i won't do that okay now everyone's saying oh good that's probably the biggest statement i made because people thought i would use force i don't have to use force i don't want to use force i won't use force all the united states is asking for is a place called greenland where we already had it as a trustee but respectfully returned it back to denmark not long ago after we defeated the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians and others in World War Two, we gave it back to them.
17:20Then Donald Trump says that he told Benjamin Netanyahu to stop taking credit for the Golden Dome. And he said that's our Golden Dome. Let's play this clip. What we did for Israel was amazing, but that's nothing compared to what we have planned for the United States, Canada and the rest of the world. We are going to build a dome like no other. We did it. We did it for Israel. And by the way, I told me, baby, stop taking credit for the dome. That's our technology. That's our stuff. But they had a lot of courage and they were good fighters and they did a good job. And then he talks about, you know, California Governor Gavin Newsom's there.
18:02And then Donald Trump goes on this rant and says, I like Gavin Newsom. I like Gavin Newsom. Here play this clip. We can do that all over. we're going to help the people in california we want to have no crime i know gavin was here i used to get along so great with gavin when i was president gavin's a good guy and we're gonna if he needed it i would do it in a heartbeat i'd love to see we did help them a lot in los angeles a lot with the early early in my term when they had some problems but we would love to do it i will say this if i were a democrat governor or whatever i would call up trump i say come on in Make us look good because we're cutting crime down to nothing.
18:43And we're taking people out, career criminals who are only going to do bad things. And we're bringing it back to their countries. But where we've done it has been amazing. And we have a capacity to do it at much greater levels. After he walks out, someone asks him about what information would he need to confirm that there actually is no genocide against white people in South Africa taking place. And he goes, I don't need anything. I just I know it's taking place. Let me share this with you.
19:27That's what happened in Davos moments ago. We'll keep you posted every step of the way here on the Midas Touch Network. Thanks for watching.
