TRUMP AT DAVOS: APOCALYPSE NOT NOW

President Trump spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos today. The White House has posted to embrace the text of his remarks here. Trump rejected the takeover of our lives in the name of saving the planet, as the left modestly formulates its messianic efforts:
[T]o embrace the possibilities of tomorrow, we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse. They are the heirs of yesterdays foolish fortune-tellers and I have them and you have them, and we all have them, and they want to see us do badly, but we dont let that happen. They predicted an overpopulation crisis in the 1960s, mass starvation in the 70s, and an end of oil in the 1990s. These alarmists always demand the same thing: absolute power to dominate, transform, and control every aspect of our lives.
This is a passage that particularly resonates with those of us who recall the premonitions of the apocalypse that we have been served with great regularity over the past 50 years. However, I dont recall a president who has ever talked back in this fashion. When it comes to a president telling the truth about the lefts aspiration to green tyranny, these are the good old days.

It was a great speech.
If they ever let me near the Davos podium I would ask the participants to raise their hands if they owned more than one house.
Then I would say: “I don’t want to hear any of _you_ lecturing anyone on climate change and social responsibility.”

Did Greta have a meltdown, was she there at Trump’s speech?
To: Dilbert San Diego
Greta is probably practicing her lines and her hate-look right now. From a previous event:

Was this really the video of when she said it?
She looks like a 10 year old who didn’t get a cookie at the end.
This is what grown men are basing their decisions on?
Good grief.

Yes, Greta the demonic Swedish meatball was there.
She delivered prepared remarks, obviously written by someone else.
To: dp0622; Bigg Red
Poor Greta is a (self)malnourished tool for Mommy and Daddy. They programmed her with liberal nonsense and lies. Now she's just a useful idiot for the predatory Left.

That “mass starvation” in the ‘70s — don’t forget, it was because the new Ice Age and “runaway” glaciers would did us all in. Gee, it was almost like -— A CLIMATE CRISIS!!!
