How Donald Trump, America's Salesman-In-Chief, Won Over CEOs At Davos

Investor's Business Daily  "Davos: Think Donald Trump doesn't know how to sell? Take a look at how he did in Davos, Switzerland, with the world's wealthy, left-leaning elites. As anyone in business will tell you, a great salesman needs a great product. Trump has that: America.

"As The Daily Caller reported, "In a stunning moment, one by one, European titans of industry from companies like Adidas, Siemens and Bayer went around the table to thank Trump for the passage of tax cuts and the easing of corporate tax burdens. Almost every CEO had a new U.S.-based investment or strategic business to announce."

"The president of Siemens, Joe Kaeser, said, 'since you have been so successful in tax reform we have decided to develop the next generation gas turbines in the United States.' "

"Not surprisingly, Trump has been harshly criticized by the left for failing to embrace "globalism." That criticism seemed a bit misplaced in Davos, however, simply with Trump's appearance there. He was the first president in 18 years to go to Davos, a gathering that President Obama gave short shrift." . . .
