What? The millionaires couldn’t book their own tickets and accommodations? How pedestrian.

Bullshit. He’s not going because he knows he’s the laughing stock of the world right now.
Let him sit home and eat leftover hamberders.

Even the guy who created the Daleks doesn’t want to be seen with Trump.

And also as a result of his America First isolationism and brain-dead protectionism. Although it does please me a bit that Mnuchin and Ross will miss out on the corrupt and personally lucrative insider networking opportunities that come with attendance at Davos.

That’s okay. He wouldn’t understand a word they were saying, even with an interpreter.

It’s pretty sad when the richest country in the world can’t afford to send someone to discuss economics.

Theresa May also isn’t going. Perhaps these political meltdowns will have the unintended benefit of devaluing this oligarch gathering? Let’s hope.

Misread, thought they’d organised for Davros to go to the World Economic Forum. Am kinda surprised they haven’t. Yet.

Davos is for world leaders. Trump recognized that he doesn’t belong.

by the way, let it be noticed that trump exposed secret information about Pelosi traveling into a war zone
speaker of the house is the third most powerful person in government, if trump and pence were arrested, we’d have acting President Pelosi, seriously
he endangered her life, if that was reversed and she exposed presidential travel into a war zone, she’d be in serious trouble

So, for instance, when in a recent national speech, the financial minister of the royal world estate of Qualvista actually dared to say that due to one thing and another and the fact that no one had made any food for while and the king seemed to have died and most of the population had been on holiday now for over three years, the economy had now arrived at what he called “one whole jujuflop situation,” everyone was so pleased he felt able to come out and say it that they quite failed to notice that their five thousand year old civilization had just collapsed overnight.

He’s been to enough of these things that he knows he doesn’t like them. They’re not about him, he’s not the center of attention, they don’t cheer when he says the things his campaign crowds cheer for.
What he really wants is a military parade and a bucket of KFC.
