"#Putin really liked the idea of cutting way back on nuclear." [sure he did]

"Hopefully #China can help us stop the war with, in particular #Russia, #Ukraine. They have a great deal of power over that situation. And, we'll work w/them. And I mentioned that…during our phone conversation w/ #Xi."

#Trump said Ukraine was ready to make a deal, & that the war would never have happened if he was in office.

"We want to see if we can denuclearize, & I think that is possible."

#Trump on #Russia & #China at #WEF:

"I would like to be able to meet with President #Putin soon to get that war ended."

“He called me,” Trump said of the phone call with #Xi.

"I think that we're going to have a very good relationship." [meaning with China]

"All we want is fairness. We just want a level playing field." [cuz rich white American men & corporations have had it so hard 🙄]

"Right now it is not a fair relationship, the deficit is massive."

Ana Botín, #BancoSantander, asked about #deregulation & how fast it’s going to happen.

"We are going to move very quickly. It is going to have a huge impact on the economy, a huge positive impact."

#Trump said the US did not need Canadian #oil, #gas, #autos or #lumber & again suggested #Canada become the 51st US state.
"We're going to be demanding respect from other nations. Canada, we have a tremendous deficit w/Canada. We're not going to have that any more.”

#Trump said he would bring #corporate #tax down to 15% if companies make their product in the US.

Trump then attacked #BofA,
"I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, & that included a place called Bank of America. ... what you're doing is wrong,"

Continued thread

#Trump said much more in #Davos at #WEF, a lot of lies, a lot of other stupid things, the coal thing was just so remarkably idiotic that it deserved highlighting.

Brian Moynihan, Chair & CEO, #BankOfAmerica asked about the impact of all Trump’s #ExecutiveOrders on growth & bringing down #inflation.

"I think it's going to actually bring down inflation. It's going to bring up jobs. We're going to have a lot of jobs. We're gonna have a lot of companies moving in."

#Coal is very strong as a backup,” #Trump told the conference. “Nothing can destroy coal, not the weather, not a bomb, nothing.” [wait, whaaaat?]

“It might make it a little smaller, might make it a little different shape, but coal is very strong as a backup. It’s a great backup to have that facility … and we have more coal than anybody. We also have more #oil & #gas than everybody.”

“I’m going to give emergency declarations so they can start building them almost immediately.”

#Trump then went on to criticize the nation’s electric #grid, calling it old while noting that he would allow the #tech companies to rely on any #fuel that they want to run the plants. And if the energy plants fail, Trump claimed the country could return to “good clean #coal.”
