Also, this story illustrates a fundamental truth: Trump's opinions are shaped by the last person he spoke to

It's such a dumb ahistorical schoolyard jibe, but that's Trump.
It's said he has never read a book.
Not even the ones with his own name on them.
This is a guy who once claimed that the Continental Army "took over the airports" during the Revolutionary War in 1776.
He's very, very stupid.

Trump in Davos, Switzerland:
"Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German".
German is the main language of Switzerland.

Farage has the unbelievable nerve to talk at Davos about Britain’s “moral decline”.
This repulsive piece of shit IS Britain’s moral decline. He’s betrayed our country for self-interest, prejudice and greed. Shame on everyone who’s allowed that.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.
