Niall Ferguson: In Private at Davos, They’ll Be ‘High-Fiving’ Trump Because They ‘Secretly’ Love His Economics
RUSH EXCERPT:
FERGUSON: "We will see Donald Trump as he always is, unfiltered and probably making no concessions at all to the globalists. I think a lot of people expect him to be given a very cold shoulder. A lot of his views on immigration and free-trade run counter to the conventional wisdom of the kind of people you meet at Davos, especially the Europeans, who certainly don’t like him. On the other hand, it is the world’s economic forum, and it is predominately business people who are there, and whatever they may think of trump’s views on immigration, they certainly love the economics here. My sense is, whatever they may say in public, and I imagine there will be a few frosty disavowals, in any private meetings, I think they are going to be high-fiving President Trump because he has given the world economy, certainly the U.S. Economy, something of a tail wind."
