'Blathering in Davos': Trump mocked for 'lies and moronic claims' in big economic speech
Donald
Trump sparked outrage and mockery after delivering the first major economic speech of his second presidency.
The newly inaugurated president spoke Thursday morning at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he demanded defense spending from
NATO allies, threatened steep tariffs, decried wars in the Middle East, and championed the rise of artificial intelligence.
“From the standpoint of America, the EU treats us very, very unfairly, very badly,” Trump said. "Yet they expect to be selling and they do sell their products in the U.S.A., so we have … hundreds of billions of dollars of deficits with the EU, and nobody’s happy with it, and we’re going to do something about it.”
His speech prompted a range of reactions on social media.
"Says the whole world 'saw the light' when he won. Says 'millions of Russians and Ukrainians died,' he will end it by raising the price for oil. Says 'he negotiated the ceasefire,' 'he got the
Olympics,' 'he got the soccer World Cup,' 'in 4 days he got more done than other admin in 4 years,'"
said journalist Olga Nesterova. "NONE of these statements are true."
