Remember that meeting that Trump had with the Republicans and Democrats on immigration where the media was not kicked out? There\u2019s another one in Davos right now. Fox is carrying it. You don\u2019t need to watch it. I\u2019m gonna tell you what\u2019s happening here and my description\u2019s gonna be even better than what\u2019s happening \u2019cause this is fabulous. There\u2019s a roundtable discussion. Trump is there with what are being called &#8220;global business leaders&#8221; in Davos. A couple of \u2019em look like they could be Bond villains.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-261770\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-012518-Davos-Fox.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-012518-Davos-Fox.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-012518-Davos-Fox-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I mean, the visuals here are perfect. One guy\u2019s wearing dark glasses. It looks like he\u2019s probably got a white cat in his lap that he\u2019s stroking that we can\u2019t see, like the villain that runs SPECTRE, and Trump\u2019s asking these guys about their businesses and what they do, and he\u2019s asking every one of them, &#8220;Are you going to invest in America?&#8221; (impression) &#8220;Oh, yes, we are. Oh, we intend to very much so, yes! Yes! Yes! Indeed!&#8221; I heard him speaking to a guy who\u2019s got some new product that contains aspirin.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said, &#8220;What percentage of the product is aspirin?&#8221; The guy answered. Trump says, &#8220;It\u2019s not a big percentage. Do you own most of it?&#8221; (impression)&#8221;Yes, I do! We are going to invest in America. We\u2019re looking forward to invest in America. Very good.&#8221; Everybody\u2019s applauding, and the media\u2019s not being kicked out. And Trump is running this as though he\u2019s running this meeting, and all these people are staring at him in awe, and they all have smiles on their faces. And he is paying rapt attention to every one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody\u2019s speaking, he\u2019s looking them straight in the eye. He doesn\u2019t appear above it, he doesn\u2019t appear bored, he doesn\u2019t appear to be there under any kind of duress. He appears to be exactly where he wants to be, and he appears to be as comfortable as if he was in his favorite place in the world, and these people can\u2019t get enough of the attention that he\u2019s giving them. Grab audio sound bite No. 25 \u2019cause I want to share with you a Trump technique.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the meeting Trump had with Republicans and Democrats and Dianne Feinstein said, &#8220;What we would really like is a clean DACA bill. You give us that; then we\u2019ll come back later and we\u2019ll do comprehensive amnesty and all.&#8221; Trump said, &#8220;I could go for that. You guys, I\u2019ll sign whatever you bring me. I\u2019ll take the heat.&#8221; Remember how many of you in this audience (sobbing), &#8220;Oh, my God, he just caved! I knew he was gonna cave!&#8221; And you were panicking.<\/p>\n<p>I told you, &#8220;Don\u2019t sweat it. This is not about immigration. This is Trump accomplishing something else.&#8221; In that case, it was blowing up the premise of the Michael Wolff book. The same thing is happening here, not this particular meeting. This is earlier today; this happened at the CNBC website. They posted a preview clip of an interview that Joe Kernen did with Trump that\u2019s set to air tomorrow morning, and this is it. I want you to listen carefully to this.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: I like bilateral because if you have a problem, you terminate. When you\u2019re in with many countries &#8212; like with TPP, so you have 12, if we were in &#8212; you don\u2019t have that same &#8212; you know, you don\u2019t have that same option. But somebody asked me the other day would I do TPP? Here my answer. I\u2019ll give you a big story. I would do TPP if we made a much better deal than we had. We had a horrible deal. The deal was a horrible deal. NAFTA is a horrible deal. We\u2019re renegotiating it. I may terminate NAFTA; I may not. We\u2019ll see what happens. But NAFTA was a &#8212; and I went around and I tell stadiums full of people, &#8220;I\u2019ll terminate or renegotiate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>KERNEN: So you might reenter&#8230;? Are &#8212; are you opening up the door to reopening TPP?<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: I\u2019m only saying that I would do TPP if we were able to make a substantially better deal.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/widget\/video-embed\/1145830979591\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So he\u2019s doing the same thing in Davos that he does here. He negotiates through the media, and in the process keeps everybody off balance. You heard Kernen. &#8220;You would redo TPP,&#8221; Trans-Pacific Partnership, which trunk skunked? Trump blew that up in record time. And now here he is in Davos with a bunch of globalists open up the possibility, &#8220;Hey, we could revisit that. We could go back to it if we get a much better deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And so probably we\u2019re gonna have some reactions from Trump voters, &#8220;Oh, I knew it was too good to be true! Now he\u2019s opening up a new trade deal with the globaslits!&#8221; That\u2019s not I don\u2019t think what\u2019s happening here at all. I think Trump continues to do what he said he was always gonna do, and that is Make America Great, as he defines it. He\u2019s going to do things that benefit America, and if they don\u2019t benefit America, he\u2019s not going to do them. But more than anything, he doesn\u2019t commit himself to anything here. He just opens up the possibility.<\/p>\n<p>TPP is something that a whole lot of people thought they wanted, and it was slammed shut and looked like it was gone forever, hopelessly gone. And now here of all people comes the Trumpster reviving it. And in the process, reignites some interest from people who previously thought that their pet issue was dead. And in the process, does all of this in public, keeps people off balance while appearing to be just like he was in the health care meeting with the Democrats: Open, flexible, accommodating. I still think there\u2019s a little bit of Trump trying to nuke the Wolff book in all of these appearances.<\/p>\n<p>So he\u2019s actually tackling a bunch of things at the same moment in the same event.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So one of the Bond villain-looking guys at the Trump meeting just thanked him profusely for the expansion of the U.S. in global markets economy. There are probably a lot of wealthy people at Davos who are invested in the United States, and if so, they are probably very, very happy right now. It\u2019s 8 o\u2019clock over there. They\u2019re not at dinner. They are at a working meeting where everybody is celebrating and thanking Donald Trump. Barack Obama\u2019s name has not been heard.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-239187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-32.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-32.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-32-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Rush-Photos-SMALL-32-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>RUSH: Grab sound bite 26. This is the Bond villain, the guy that looked to me like the Bond villain. He is actually one of the few Americans at the Trump meeting. His name is William McDermott. He\u2019s the CEO of SAP, a software company. They sponsor Ernie Els, if you\u2019ve seen the logo on caps and so forth. Anyway, McDermott was invited by Trump &#8212; the people &#8212; to attend the meeting, and here\u2019s what McDermott said to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>MCDERMOTT: Mr. President, I\u2019d like to thank you, first of all, for having me, but also for spurring on all this growth, because these are all my customers.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: I know.<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>MCDERMOTT: It\u2019s kind of amazing that all my customers are talking about adding jobs and growing their businesses, and it\u2019s just a real tribute to the momentum that you\u2019ve created in the global economy. So I thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That, again, is William McDermott, the CEO of SAP or S-A-P. That\u2019s like a major, major software company, custom software company for businesses and whatever they need in the enterprise. And he\u2019s right. Practically anybody who\u2019s anybody in the world uses SAP for one thing other another, and here he is thanking Trump for the worldwide economic growth. Trump is a rock star in Davos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I&#039;m gonna tell you what&#039;s happening here and my description&#039;s gonna be even better than what&#039;s happening &#039;cause this is fabulous. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":261770,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
