Donald Trump came to Davos and did not spare his withering criticism of the European leaders who are destroying their countries in real time.
Oftentimes, one does not look forward to going to his doctor. Since it’s been a while since they have been together, the medical man uses the opportunity to tell his patient everything that is wrong with him: overweight, smoking, not enough exercise, and on and on. The patient does not enjoy hearing the doctor’s litany of medical failures, but sometimes tough love is the only way to make real change.
Donald Trump came to the globalist mecca of Davos. Even a defective plane could not keep the president away. And the president did not spare his criticism. Weak fellows like Obama and Biden would never have upbraided their peers and hosts to their face; they would say pleasant things and only if necessary would they privately offer some criticism. Not Donald Trump. He told Europeans (and Canadians) to their face that they are facing doom:
- Too much immigration of people who do not accept the local ways and assimilate
- Reliance on wind and other unreliable forms of energy
- The need for U.S. action on Greenland to protect from Chinese and Russian threats
- Their moribund economic conditions from high taxes and little economic stimulus
- Use of the state to patrol citizens’ speech
- The ridiculous return and payment regarding the Chagos Islands by Britain
President Trump made it clear that the mass immigration of incompatible peoples is threatening the continued existence of European countries as they have been known for hundreds if not thousands of years. What was Coptic Christian Egypt before Islam took control? What was Maronite Christian Lebanon before Islam took control? These were countries that were successful and appealing. Lebanon’s fall is relatively recent, as in the 1950s, it was the playground of the European jet-set (much like Cuba was for Americans before the revolution). Does Egypt contribute anything to the world’s knowledge today? Don’t go back to the days of pharaoh—what item do you have in your house that was invented in Egypt—or Syria or Iraq or Lebanon or post-1980 Iran—or manufactured there? Maybe there will be a short interim period in England where you will still have English brains with Muslim rule, but after some time, England will become another Egypt: a country that contributes nothing to the world and douses the remaining embers of a formerly great 1,000-year culture. Remember when the Taliban took great glee in blowing up the ancient Buddha statues in Afghanistan? How many years will it be before Oxford and Cambridge—places that teach falsehoods based on a no longer extant culture—get the same treatment? A hundred years?
There are certain stories from the Torah in which I wish that I could have been present. For example, when Joseph told his brothers that it was he that they had sold into slavery. Or when King David danced with all his might with the return of the Ark of the Covenant from the Philistines. One story where I would like to be peeking over the couch would be the time that Lot told his sons-in-law that God had sent angels to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. It says there that they looked at him as if he was mad. My impression from the Davos confab is that the Europeans looked at Donald Trump in a somewhat similar manner. While Japan is restarting many of its idle nuclear reactors, Germany no longer can do the same. They think that their “net zero” future based on wind and sun will save them from some climate armageddon, while China and India grow and spit out endless tons of carbon dioxide. They think that their censorship and uncontrolled immigration will never come back to bite them. Like the patient that listens to his doctor’s harangue and plans for a hot fudge sundae and pack of cigarettes, the Europeans don’t believe that bringing in people who hate their culture and reproduce far more than the locals might end the world that they have taken for granted for hundreds of years. They, like their peers in Orwell’s "1984," see censorship as freedom, expensive electricity as affordable and underfunded armed forces as prepared to fight the Russians. They look at Trump as the blowhard uncle who invites himself for Thanksgiving, and simply cannot wait to see the exhaust from Air Force One blowing in the Swiss wind as the plane and its primary occupant head home. Upstart! Who is he to tell us how to run our countries? We predate America by centuries! The nerve of the fellow.
Donald Trump, in this author’s opinion, is right in all of his painful assessments. His statement regarding wind being the choice of fools—it takes a lot of resources to manufacture and maintain those turbines, and their performance is dependent on wind, which is not always available—is spot on. How would you like to be in surgery when the power goes off and your doctor merely smiles and says that the lights should come back on in 20 minutes? He’s right about the destruction of Europe of old through uncontrolled immigration mixed with no effort to force assimilation or ejection. Europe needs the same ICE army running around throwing people out, but like Lot’s sons-in-laws, they don’t even realize they have a problem. When Trump’s people mused that they might offer refugee status to British Jews, one does not know whether to laugh or cry. Such an idea sounds so ridiculous that one wants to laugh uncontrollably. But the reality is that British Jews have been suffering at the hands of an ever-growing Muslim population and lefty intolerance that make their lives miserable. A clueless government that neither protects them nor holds the bad guys accountable leaves Jews unprotected, as we saw in the murders in Manchester. My late grandparents probably thought in 1929 that they would never have to leave Germany, where our families had lived for hundreds of years. A decade later, they escaped to save their lives.
So goodbye, Europe. Don’t say that the U.S. president did not warn you. Just as you laughed at him at the UN when he warned against your addiction to Russian gas, you can laugh when the president is not in earshot. Your own citizens are terrified of what their countries are becoming. The women are scared to go out alone at night or take public transportation. You don’t care. Your personal planes are among the thousand private planes parked at the Davos airport. Trump’s plane is bigger and more impressive but he feels more for your citizens than you do. He realizes that they are frightened that their countries are being lost, and the people are right.
President Trump announced that they had established a framework for Greenland. He came in with others fearing a possible military conquest, dropped that option immediately and got what he wanted. Donald Trump knows that the U.S. needs a Western European bloc. He also knows that other than in Poland and Hungary, his successors may not leave him functioning countries in NATO. He has done everything he can to convince the current crop of feckless European leaders that they are bringing their countries to economic, energy, social, and political ruin. They don’t want to hear about it. They think that the Islamic future of Europe is the way to go. We don’t make babies, so let them fill our vanishing places! They are just like us, right? Even King Charles spoke warmly when he opened a new Islamic center at Oxford named after him. It will take awhile, but they will one day rename it for King Muhammed I of England.
