The World Economic Forum was created—at least according to its own lofty mission statement—for the express purpose of “improving the state of the world.” In practice, it has devolved into a globalist mosh pit where elites gather annually to virtue signal about climate change, multiculturalism, and centralized control while remaining utterly disconnected from the people they claim to represent.

Under President Trump—during his first term and again now—America has stood firm as a beacon of independence at the WEF’s annual Davos conference, refusing to parrot the socialist talking points so many other leaders regurgitate without question.

Diplomacy matters. Allies matter. But what we don’t need are countries entirely dependent on the United States for their defense, or foreign bureaucrats who believe they have the authority to lecture Americans about freedom, sovereignty, or how to run our own nation.

Davos has become a gathering of elites completely out of step with the rest of the world—out of step with the average man and woman. That disconnect has become so obvious that even the chairman of the World Economic Forum, Larry Fink—the CEO of BlackRock—has admitted it.

Hate to burst your bubble, Larry, but that trust isn’t coming back anytime soon. People don’t feel comforted by a small group of global elites meeting behind closed doors to decide the future of billions. We peasants, as they so often treat us, still believe in self-determination.

So let’s look at what these leaders are actually saying about how they intend to “shape the world.”

There has been no shortage of chatter about a so-called New World Order. Those clips made the rounds yesterday. Now European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has declared that it’s time for a “new Europe” as well.

This is a good moment to remind everyone that no one voted Ursula von der Leyen into power. She was appointed by elites just like herself, tasked with delivering empty talking points without the backing of a single working man or woman.

President Trump has spent nearly a decade urging Europe to carry its own weight. They’ve complained every step of the way. And now we’re supposed to believe them when they claim they’re ready to go it alone without the United States? Forgive the skepticism.

Von der Leyen then doubled down, insisting that Greenland’s future is a matter solely for NATO and Denmark—completely dismissing American security concerns. That’s rich, considering the United States foots the bill for NATO and supplies the vast majority of the equipment required to defend the continent.

Unelected EU bureaucrats do not get to decide the future of America’s national security. Von der Leyen herself admits that Greenland is critical to Arctic safety, and it’s undeniable that the United States is the only global power capable of securing it.

Even NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte shocked the Davos crowd by admitting that Trump is right about the Arctic.

So why can’t these leaders reach the obvious conclusion? From a foreign policy standpoint, it makes far more sense for the United States to have control of Greenland than to sit back and wait for Russia to make a move—dragging the entire world into a conflict.

European leadership excels at virtue signaling, speaking in circles, and saying one thing while doing another. That has never been Trump’s approach.

He has been clear and transparent from day one. His words are constantly twisted, but he has gone on record yet again to make it crystal clear that the United States has no intention of invading Greenland by force—despite what the internet hysterics would have you believe.

You can practically see other world leaders squirm when Trump speaks plainly. They’re not used to honesty without diplomatic fluff.

Yes, America could take Greenland if it wanted to. So could Russia—which is precisely why securing it matters. But no one wants war, least of all President Trump.

His critics paint him as an imperialist warlord, yet even a cursory glance at recent history proves the opposite.

Trump is a dealmaker. A fixer. A negotiator. A man of peace who wants global stability without sacrificing American strength or sovereignty.

He has overseen the end of eight wars and is now spearheading a new Board of Peace—an initiative he promises will be far more effective than the United Nations.

This matters more than most people realize. For decades, the United Nations has attempted to strong-arm America into its globalist utopian fantasy, all while failing to deliver actual peace.

A Board of Peace led by the President of the United States fundamentally changes the equation. According to Trump, many nations are already eager to participate.

This could mark the beginning of a new era—one where America stops propping up other nations and fighting their wars, and instead encourages them to govern themselves and pursue peace independently.

Because if we’re being honest, the world cannot continue down its current path. Once-proud sovereign nations—historic centers of culture and innovation—are unraveling under the weight of open borders and ideological madness. Everyone can see it.

America does not want to become Europe. That’s why voters put Donald Trump back in office. And it’s exactly why Europe has no business lecturing Americans about policy or morality.

That reality has been made abundantly clear at this year’s World Economic Forum.

America is standing strong on its foundations, and the world is better off when more nations do the same.

I’ll leave you with remarks from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick—a refreshing dose of clarity in a room full of globalist noise.

What a breath of fresh air. The globalist experiment has failed. The world needs leaders who can admit it—and who can articulate a better path forward.

This is that path. And once again, America is leading the way.
