International Reporter Reacts in Horror to Trump Davos Disaster

Jan 26, 2026 | Anthony Davis reports: Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos was widely dismissed as rambling, unserious, even comedic. But beneath the insults, digressions, and bravado was a coherent—and dangerous—ideological message. This video breaks down how Trump used stealth language to revive ideas rooted in fascist and Nazi-era thinking: the myth of a “pure” western civilisation, the framing of migration as contamination, and the use of “culture” as a euphemism for race. Drawing historical parallels to Nazi rhetoric about civilisation, inheritance, and decline, we examine how these ideas are laundered through respectable forums and normalized on the global stage.

Trump à Davos : des Européens désabusés par les menaces de leur ancien allié américain

LE FIGARO : RÉCIT - Bruxelles a choisi la discrétion après le nouveau discours de Donald Trump à Davos. Mais a bien compris que rien n’est réglé pour le Groenland.

Un vieux type qui « radote », perdu dans ses élucubrations, mais dont le discours reste toujours aussi « dangereux ». Mercredi, à Bruxelles, en cette semaine plutôt calme où le gros de l’actualité se déroulait à Strasbourg et à Davos, le discours de Donald Trump a évidemment été très suivi.

Mais il a aussi assommé plus d’un diplomate, certains par ennui pur et simple, d’autres par le sentiment diffus que la situation ne s’améliorera pas s’agissant du Groenland. Car si le ministre des Affaires étrangères danois, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, a bien jugé « positif » le fait que Donald Trump renonce à l’usage de la force pour s’emparer de l’île rattachée à son pays, il a aussi perçu son « ambition intacte ». « Il veut le Groenland », renchérit un diplomate bruxellois, assommé, lui, par « un discours très dur contre l’Europe ». Beaucoup ont pourtant eu du mal à s’émouvoir devant une logorrhée jugée par certains « ennuyeuse » et « incohérente ». » | Par Solenn Paulic, à Bruxelles | jeudi 22 janvier 2026

Why World Leaders Think Trump Is an Idiot: Rothkopf | The Daily Beast Podcast

Jan 22, 2026 | David Rothkopf, The Daily Beast’s unmissable columnist, joins Joanna Coles to unpack Donald Trump’s disastrous return to Davos and why it may mark a genuine rupture in the world order.

What was once a gathering fuelled by prestige and pretence becomes, this year, a summit driven by fear—of Trump’s bullying, his ignorance, his threats on trade, NATO, Greenland, and allies who once trusted the United States.

Rothkopf explains why European leaders walked out, why markets rattled, why the EU froze trade talks, and why figures like Mark Carney are now openly warning that this is not a transition but a break.

Trump Paints Himself as Great White Hope in Racism-drenched Davos Speech

THE GUARDIAN: President’s anti-Somalia tirade and insults to European leaders were in line with aide Stephen Miller’s worldview

Donald Trump turned up in Davos wielding an insult bazooka. He mocked Emmanuel Macron’s aviator sunglasses, chided Mark Carney (“Canada lives because of the United States”), asserted that the Swiss are “only good because of us” and had a dig at Denmark for losing Greenland “in six hours” during the second world war.

But beyond the fractious rhetoric, the US president brought a deeper message on Wednesday that sought to unify the west rather than divide it. It was his most dark, insidious and sinister project of all.

Trump surmised: Yes, we might have our internal squabbles, but I am bringing tough love because we are all in this together. We are the standard bearers of western civilisation. We must resist the barbarian hordes. We must save the white man. The ageing president, who in 2024 complained, “We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” told the World Economic Forum that he was “derived from Europe”, namely: “100% Scotland, my mother; 100% German, my father. And we believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe as a civilisation.” » | David Smith in Washington | Wednesday, January 21, 2026

World Leaders DESTROY Trump at Davos

Jan 21, 2026 | World leaders are no longer biting their tongues. In this supercut from the World Economic Forum in Davos, world leaders hit back at Donald Trump after his explosive threats to invade Greenland and slap tariffs on Europe for their opposition to it. From the main stage in Switzerland to side events packed with political heavyweights, the message is clear: sovereignty is not for sale, and economic bullying won’t go unanswered.

Hear from French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, as they warn that Trump’s rhetoric is dragging the world into chaos.

Speaking in Davos, leaders describe a moment where the rules-based global order is under pressure from trade wars, territorial threats, and power politics that risk destabilising Europe and beyond.

California Governor Gavin Newsom was also present, and branded Trump a “wrecking ball”. He said the former president is unmoored from the norms that have shaped diplomacy for decades, arguing that while Trump plays by his own rules, democracies must respond by standing firm, united, and committed to the rule of law rather than intimidation.

Trump Steps Up Greenland Annexation Demand and Attacks European Leaders at Davos

THE GUARDIAN: US president tells business and political leaders in Davos his country needs ownership to defend ‘unsecured island’

Donald Trump has stepped up his demand to annex Greenland but said the US would not use force to seize it during a rambling, invective-laden speech at Davos where he again lashed out at Europe’s political leaders.

Trump gave his speech as they sought to avert a full-scale crisis over Greenland – an effort that appeared successful later as the US president suddenly announced he would delay imposing tariffs on eight European countries from 1 February as negotiations continue.

The address to thousands of business and political leaders at the World Economic Form in the Swiss ski resort indicated that while Trump was renouncing the use of military force – for now at least – to wrest control of Greenland, he still intended to wield US economic and diplomatic power to bend European allies to his will.

He said he was “seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States”.

“I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force. All the US is asking for is a place called Greenland,” he said. “You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative. Or you can say no and we will remember.”

The remarks elicited a cool reaction from the foreign minister of Denmark, the Nato country of which Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory. Lars Løkke Rasmussen said it was “positive” that Trump had ruled out an invasion but the US president’s ambitions for the territory were “intact”. » | Heather Stewart in Davos and Andrew Roth Global affairs correspondent | Wednesday, January 21, 2026

«Je veux juste un bout de glace», «Macron a essayé de faire le dur»... Ce qu’il faut retenir de la prise de parole de Donald Trump au Forum de Davos

LE FIGARO : Ce mercredi, au lendemain des allocutions offensives d’autres dirigeants, dont son homologue français, Emmanuel Macron, le président américain a répondu aux critiques et défendu sa politique.

La queue devant la salle où Donald Trump devait prendre la parole, lors du forum économique de Davos, était à l’image des attentes entourant son discours : immense. Ce mercredi, au lendemain des allocutions offensives d’autres dirigeants, dont son homologue français, Emmanuel Macron, la patronne de l’Union européenne Ursula von der Leyen ou le canadien Mark Carney, le président américain a tenu une allocution fleuve, bien plus longue que ce qui était prévu.

Sa harangue était émaillée d’insultes envers certaines personnalités ou nations, d’hyperboles et de digressions. L’occasion, également, pour ce passionné de catch de porter ses coups, répondre aux critiques et défendre sa politique. » | Par Wladimir Garcin-Berson et Julien Da Sois | mercredi 21 janvier 2026
