At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a speech heavily aimed at a domestic audience and focused on America's economy, but which also made crucial reference to the many geopolitical storms that involve America today, from Greenland and Gaza to Venezuela and Ukraine. He said America is owed legal title to Greenland, though said he would not take it by force. He referred to the Russian president as "Vladimir," the French president as "Emmanuel," the former president of the Swiss Confederation as "a woman," and the NATO secretary-general as "Mark," and fondly remembered the time Mark Rutte called him "Daddy." He called Greenland "Iceland" a few times. It all stood in contrast to the speech on Tuesday by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney whom Trump also called "Mark," but in a less conciliatory manner which quoted both the Ancient Greek historian Thucydides ("the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must") and the modern corporate aphorism that "if you are not at the table, you are on the menu," and was over in about 15 minutes with a standing ovation. Trump's was well over an hour. The National Post annotates some of the key portions of Trump's speech. Read More
