We’ve heard more from the 47th President of the United States this week than we heard from his predecessor over many months. But Donald Trump has always loved the spotlight: especially when he gets to rile up all his favourite people. This was on full display this week when, rather than winding down from his inauguration speech, the President ramped up his message in a video call to Davos.

The establishment was on high alert all week, well aware that the annual Swiss gathering of politicians and CEOs kicked off on the same day Trump was sworn in for a second time. They were right to be worried. Trump did not pull his punches.
