This is a sad post, as it means the nation I live in has permantly lost much respect and credibility via its recent President.

 Davos full speeches online, three key ones, two tightly messaged, one rambling where fact checking puts my nation in a very bad light. I should move to Canada, if they'd have me. One further Davos speech link, Macron's, which I did not watch, but found the full item online.

 Mark Carney

Ursula Von der Leyen

Donald Trump

Macron 

The first two, direct and not promising well for either the USA or its currency hegemony. There's a world of nations holding great amounts of US Treasury notes, and the bond market wonders.

As a bonus, at a Congressional hearing, Jamie Raskin's Minority Ranking Member opening statement speaks of my home state, Minnesota.

 Trust lost is not a good thing.

Readers, can you tell yourself of one good thing Donald J. Trump has done?
