"Others longed to pelt him with fruit as the US president strode enthusiastically into Davos..."

A fawning female admirer grabbed Donald Trump’s autograph while others longed to pelt him with fruit as the US president Thursday strode enthusiastically into the Davos economic forum.

Trump smiled and waved as hundreds of onlookers at the elite gathering lined the lobby and a high staircase of the conference venue in the Swiss resort to get a glimpse of him.

***

“Can we throw things?” asked one bystander, a middle-aged American woman in a purple jacket, peering from the staircase at the crowds awaiting Trump’s arrival.

“I’ve an apple in my bag,” said another woman.

If only people knew there is NOTHING going on behind that smirk. NOTHING.

I do not know how to convince people, for instance ask him ANY business question without him knowing in advance you will ask.

AnY, I have $1000 cash that says he will NOT know the answer.

That calls forth the way he shoved his way thru attendees at whatever the hell the gathering was...when he shoved that poor guy and then stood there, preening, nose in the air, looking just like Mussolini.
