Trump Attacks Immigration, Europe, and Liberal Politics at Davos

  • Donald Trump used his Davos address to criticize immigration, European governance, and liberal politics, warning the West is "destroying itself."
  • He claimed the US economy experienced an "unprecedented boom" under his administration, contrasting it with a "dead country" under Democrats.
  • Trump stated "certain places in Europe are not even recognisable" due to unchecked migration, high government spending, and reliance on imports.
  • He singled out Democratic lawmaker Ilhan Omar, calling her a "fake congressperson" and making derogatory remarks about her origin and Somalis.
