He went about fixing America, not putting on a show for foreigners.

But here he gets in their faces in Davos, Switzerland and tells them how great America is.

You must have hated that.

Watch President Donald Trump's full speech at the Davos World Economic Forum
Jan 21, 2020

(31:03)


President Donald Trump spoke at the Davos World Economic Forum in Switzerland about his agenda as president, the state of the economy, the U.S.-China trade deal, and more.

President Donald Trump told CNBC on Wednesday that U.S. economic growth would have been closer to 4% if it weren’t for the lingering effect of Federal Reserve rate hikes.

“That was a big blip that should not have taken place. It should not have happened. But it’s one of those things. But we had Boeing. We had the big strike with General Motors. We had things happen that are very unusual to happen,” Trump told CNBC’s Joe Kernen in an interview from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The president also suggested that the stock market would be even higher than its already record-setting highs if the Fed hadn’t raised rates so quickly before cutting them three times during 2019.

“Now, with all of that, had we not done the big raise on interest, I think we would have been close to 4%,” Trump said of the U.S. gross domestic product. “And I – I could see 5,000 to 10,000 points more on the Dow. But that was a killer when they raised the rate. It was just a big mistake.”

The president has repeatedly taken the Fed and its chair, Jerome Powell, to task for raising rates too quickly, in his view. Trump nominated Powell to the role in November 2017, and the Fed raised rates four times in 2018.

The president’s remarks Wednesday echoed those his top economic advisor Larry Kudlow made to CNBC on Tuesday, when he predicted 3% growth in U.S. GDP in 2020.

“This is a long cycle, and what you’ve got here in the Trump years is essentially a mini upcycle,” Kudlow said Tuesday. “You’ve gone from 1.5% to 2% growth. We had it going at almost 4%, then the Fed tightened.”

Manufacturing and trade data released this month suggested the American economy ended 2019 on a strong note. The economy is expected to grow more than 2% in the fourth quarter. That would represent a slowdown from the 2.9% increase in 2018, and 2% growth would still suggest the decade-old expansion is set to continue into this pivotal election year.

The Trump interview came hours after the first full day of impeachment proceedings wrapped up in the Senate and a day after Trump gave a speech to the World Economic Forum in which he boasted about U.S. economic gains under his watch.

Several observers said the address sounded like a campaign speech in his 2020 reelection bid.

From a policy standpoint, Trump stood firm on his use of tariffs in trade negotiations, particularly as his administration looks to follow its so-called phase one trade deal with China with a second-phase pact. This stance has made business leaders in Davos skeptical that the two nations would reach an agreement before Trump’s first term is up in a year.

Putin and Biden confirm extension of New START nuclear treaty


According to the Kremlin, Putin used his first call with Biden to urged improved ties. “He noted that the normalization of relations between Russia and the United States would meet the interests of both countries and — taking into account their special responsibility for maintaining security and stability in the world — of the entire international community,” the Kremlin said.

Putin and Biden confirm extension of New START nuclear treaty

Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Joe Biden agreed Tuesday to extend the New START nuclear nonproliferation treaty, which is due to expire next month, according to Kremlin and White House summaries of a phone call between the leaders.

The New START Treaty, formally called Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, is a landmark nuclear arms reduction pact between the U.S. and Russia first signed in 2010.

According to the Kremlin, Putin used his first call with Biden to urged improved ties. “He noted that the normalization of relations between Russia and the United States would meet the interests of both countries and — taking into account their special responsibility for maintaining security and stability in the world — of the entire international community,” the Kremlin said.

The Kremlin said the presidents also discussed the coronavirus pandemic, the Open Skies Treaty and the Iran nuclear deal, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as well as the conflict in Ukraine and Putin’s call for a summit meeting of permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.

The White House said Biden also confronted Putin on the issues of election interference and of the jailing of the Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny.

Wow. They sure covered a lot of ground. That's some pretty heavy stuff they talked about. And they didn't get into a nasty personal name-calling contest? I guess that makes all the vitriol seen here look pretty silly. Good thing the calm leaders are in charge.

Imagine, a President that stands up to Putin, but also realizes there are areas that they can work together to achieve common goals.

no.
They demanded -after it was gone over again and again -that Trump insert "Russian interference" into ANY informal talks
Trump asked Putin once or 2x - he said "no"but the Dems still howled about it.
So nothing ever could get done because of this phantom hanging over anything

The fucked up part? is the Dems like Schiff TO THIS DAY STILL SAY TRUMP IS A RUSSIAN ASSET

Trump literally went on national television and begged Russian security services to hack Democratic Party computers.

You only think that because you still have Trump's dick in your mouth.

Trump never believed in nuclear non proliferation. Trump is a moron who said his first year he wanted to start a nuclear arms race. Trump is a child who thinks the boy with the most toys gets to win.

You and Trump do not believe in nuclear non proliferation. Your opinion is meaningless. Biden is not consulting you or Trump.

Presidents Reagan, GHW Bush, Obama, and Biden actually believe in nuclear non-proliferation and believed it serves the interests of the United States.

I know, right?! It's almost as though diplomacy like adults do, rather than belligerent bluster and bullying, is a thing again.

In exchange for massive tax cuts, stacked courts, and reversals of civil rights mandates, they would put up with anything.

This START treaty originally was approved by the U.S. Senate in 2010 on a bipartisan vote of 71-26.

So your attempt to imply Biden's extention of the treaty is some kind of Bolshevik plot to weaken America, has about as much credibility as your claims that the Kraken would be released and Biden would have to concede the election to Trump.
