Trump demands a "signing ceremony" at the World Economic Forum in Davos for his $1 B "buy-in" Board of Peace scam

Trump wants to hijack the world’s foremost economic meeting with a special “ceremony” paying homage to his $1 billion peacekeeping grift.

Sources cited by Bloomberg on Monday described widespread confusion behind the scenes as Trump embarked on a last-minute push for a signing ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos to thrust his newly unveiled “Board of Peace” front and center.

Announced by the White House last week, the board is ostensibly meant to guide Gaza’s post-war reconstruction and was endorsed by the U.N. Security Council last November.

However, there’s no mention of Gaza in its charter, and as more details have emerged about the new body’s composition and its reported $1 billion buy-in fee, questions are mounting about what the real endgame is.

and then I find out Barak Ravid is "Global Affairs Correspondent for Axios. CNN analyst. Washington correspondent for Israel's channel 12."

Who the fuck prints invites to "the Chief of State or Head of Government", as if the sender is too fucking important to find out which one is at Davos and what their name is? Well, no one in history until this narcissistic fuck came along.

but this man says he's always admired my deal-making, and wants to learn my secret methods. He says he's sure his old mentor Roy must have known me. He needs someone who can run a casino without going bankrupt to show him the ropes.

"But I'm worried about his attitude to women. Frankly, I never went in for that stuff - it's misogynistic. I may hate all of Iluvatar's creation, but I don't see the need to discriminate against females.

"And he's so needy. I haven't seen it that bad since that creature we captured skulking around the Gates of Mordor."

The endgame is nothing much will be done beyond a few resorts planned and then the money will magically disappear.

Same old grift.

But suggested that clothing you can easily wipe the blood of virgins off would be a good idea.
