Davos Panel: Trump Has Won, and We Have Lost

Allison: “Trump has done something no person in the world has ever done before. A dead man, a dead politician, has risen. Somebody who, a year — if we were — four years ago at Davos, he’s buried, dead politically, known to me. He’s now returned. This is the greatest comeback in political history, of a politician. And then, therefore, he thinks he can do anything.”

MEAD: “We need to also factor in not only who’s won, which is Trump, but who’s lost, which is to say us. (...) And I guess I would add, throw into that, that the epitome of the us who is losing here is Europe, that the — the European Union and, by and large, its member states have misread the direction where events were going. (...) The causes that it is interested in, climate, human rights, some others, as well as the methods of diplomacy that it prefers are simply being gradually kind of marginalized as something new, not necessarily something better, but something new moves into the center.”
