A growing number of Davos attendees are planning to walk out of US president Donald Trumps speech at the World Economic Forum this Friday (Jan. 26), several conference-goers told Quartz, to protest his remarks about African countries earlier this month.
Trump repeatedly called African countries shitholes in a closed-door meeting about immigration, attendee Senator Dick Durbin and others have said.
Boycotting Trumps Davos speech was first broached by Business Leadership South Africa CEO (and Davos attendee) Bonang Mohale in an open letter. Leaving Trumps speech after he starts is probably more powerful than boycotting it entirely, some Davos attendees speculate.

If this happens, will it be a leftist block organizing opposition to Trump based on previous complaints?
Or will it be a leftist block, organizing opposition to Trump based on an out of control global trade situation?
Just curious.
Well.......bye
I hope they keep a list of who walks out. Immediately followed by stoppage of financial aide, support and/or more UN dues.
“Trump repeatedly called African countries shitholes in a closed-door meeting”
So now it’s “repeatedly called”.
Look how it gets exaggerated.
When there is zero proof he said it at all.
It’s called fake news.
How about taking a knee instead?
Nazis
If they didn’t have made up lies, they wouldn’t have much of anything, would they?
Presidet Trump will be taking down names and saving American Taxpayer money by cutting off money to those countries, too.
The second paragraph is a lie, and I think it even exaggerates what Durbin said. Isn’t it nice that Durbin is such as pig he left a private meeting and caused international problems for the United States.
They don’t even have a plan. All they have is keep us in power and we’ll be good. That’s all they promise.
The representatives that walk out, are admitting that they KNOW what their country IS.
Wouldn’t it be tragic if some minor security issue necessitated the Secret Service baring all the exits as a precautionary measure about the time the President’s speech started...
Its MSN for crying out loud!
...at their own peril...
Bigly!
Trump should point out just how many feet of Global Warming are outside and tell them to be sure to button up before leaving.
WINNING!!
Advance message to the countries who walk out, there will be a price. How much are you willing to pay for your representatives conduct?
Bohang Mohale?
