This past Monday, the world marked two noteworthy beginnings: the second inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump and the start of the 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The new Trump administration was bound to be a hot topic of discussion among the nearly 3,000 elites from business, politics, and civil society attending this year’s Davos. Everything from Trump’s impending tariffs to his desire to pull the United States out of NATO to his aspiration to annex Greenland will be on the agenda, but probably not as much as the unique threat that Trump poses to the global democratic order.
