When President Donald Trump agreed to code the "World Economic Forum" successful Davos, helium rescued that gathering from looming irrelevance — astatine slightest for a year. If the President of the United States attends a forum, the world’s corporate attraction volition crook to it.

But President Trump came with immoderate of his "A Team" connected planetary economical and information matters, and Made Davos Great Again. People tuned in.

Two comments stood retired to me.  On the president’s tendency to get Greenland, helium did marque 1 happening precise clear: "I won’t usage force." That elemental connection buoyed markets astir the satellite which had imagined immoderate benignant of intra-NATO kinetic struggle and panicked connected Tuesday. That’s not going to happen, though the president has made it precise wide helium volition usage each levers unfastened to him. "You tin accidental yes, and we volition beryllium precise appreciative," the president said regarding Greenland. "You tin accidental no, and we volition remember," helium added. Message sent and received.

LIZ PEEK: TRUMP IS PUTTING AMERICA FIRST BY BACKING IRAN INTO A CORNER

The president’s code was a reminder to the assembled globalists of the surging American economical growth, and of the tremendous American system down it. But anyone who listened to the president’s property league connected Wednesday had heard astir of the recap already.

Bush’s successful 2006 were pugnacious going for the GOP, seeing, for example, the nett nonaccomplishment of 49, 48, 5 and 30 House seats respectively. The tidal charts of American authorities typically forecast atrocious quality for the "in" enactment successful that dreaded sixth twelvemonth of a presidency.

TRUMP’S LEADERSHIP CREATES 'RARE OPPORTUNITY' FOR CHANGE IN IRAN, FORMER IRANIAN POLITICAL PRISONER SAYS

So it is simply a precise astute determination to repeat, and repeat, and repetition the bully quality connected the economy.

Only erstwhile President Trump sat down for questions did thing caller transverse our screens. 

"Iran was the bully of the Middle East. They aren’t the bully anymore," President Trump told his questioner successful a little 15-minute sit-down aft his speech.

If Iran tin mow down thousands of its ain radical and the satellite yawns successful response, it volition bash truthful again, and again and again.

President Trump has tons of options. Pray helium uses astatine slightest 1 of them to nonstop the message: Never bash that again.
