Trump walked into the lion's den and didn't back down an inch.
The global elite weren't ready for what he had to say.
And Whoopi Goldberg had an epic meltdown after Trump delivered this smackdown to globalists.
Trump's World Economic Forum speech tells Davos elites Europe is destroying itself
President Trump strode into the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland and did something no other world leader would dare.
He told the room packed with billionaires, globalist bureaucrats, and European leaders that their policies are wrecking their own countries.
"Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable anymore," Trump said.
"Friends come back from different places and say 'I don't recognize it.' And that's not in a positive way."
Trump blasted Europe's obsession with windmills, unchecked mass migration, and shipping manufacturing jobs overseas.
"We want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones," Trump declared.
The audience sat in near-total silence.
Trump walked into their sanctuary and told them they're driving Europe off a cliff.
Apple CEO Tim Cook, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney all sat in the crowd while Trump laid out exactly how America plans to win.
Trump announces Greenland NATO framework and slams Canadian PM Mark Carney
Trump announced he'd formed "the framework of a future deal" with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Greenland.
Russia and China are already moving into the Arctic region.
"What I'm asking for is a piece of ice, cold and poorly located," Trump said.
"It's a very small ask compared to what we have given them for many, many decades."
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a speech the day before calling Trump's approach a "rupture" of the international order.
Trump fired back.
"Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way," Trump said.
"I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful."
Then Trump delivered the line that had Carney seething.
"Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements."
Carney left Davos without meeting Trump and flew home.
One tech CEO told CNBC he wasn't sure "whether to laugh or feel nervous."
A Western European official admitted to TIME Magazine: "We can't react to everything he says."
The View's Whoopi Goldberg demands Trump removal over mental fitness
The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg watched Trump's Davos speech and lost it.
"25th Amendment, it's time!" Goldberg shouted.
Co-host Joy Behar endorsed the call and the audience cheered.
Goldberg's reasoning?
Trump jokingly called Greenland "Iceland" a few times during his speech.
The White House even clarified Trump's written remarks referred to Greenland as a "piece of ice."
Trump spoke for over an hour and commanded a room of the world's most powerful people.
Goldberg couldn't tell Trump was joking and declared him mentally unfit.
"I'm uncomfortable with him being president," Goldberg said.
Co-host Sunny Hostin piled on.
"You believe at this point that the president of the United States may not have his full faculty?" Hostin asked.
"I felt that before now," Goldberg replied.
Alyssa Farah Griffin tried injecting reality into the conversation.
"As a dose of reality, his Cabinet is squarely with him," Griffin noted.
The 25th Amendment requires the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to invoke it.
Goldberg didn't care.
"And it's time for them to go, too!" Goldberg declared.
The White House fired back at Goldberg and Hostin.
Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly Ingle called them "a pair of useful idiots that have no talent and very poorly rated TV show."
Trump stood in front of the global elite in Davos and told them their policies are failing.
Europe's leaders sat in stunned silence.
Goldberg watched Trump dominate the world stage and demanded his removal from office.
Trump walked into a room full of people who hate everything he stands for and didn't apologize for a single word.
Europe is destroying itself with green energy mandates, open borders, and shipping jobs to China.
Trump told them America won't follow them off that cliff.
The global elite expected Trump to play nice.
He told them the truth they didn't want to hear.
Whoopi Goldberg can't handle Trump telling globalists their reign is over.
