Davos, Switzerland, the World Economic Forum.
you can tell this was aimed at the trumpers because they use small words
Listen, I’m much more of a “we should be allowed to say Christmas again, Santa Claus was white man” Christian, now you’re asking me to be a “take up your cross and follow me, sell your possessions and give to the poor” type Christian? uh tall order bud, try next door
