"In The Daily Kos, Michael Taylor presented the funniest final word on Trump’s surreal performance in the mountains of Switzerland: “Davos is usually a place for polished platitudes, carefully manicured optimism, and the occasional nervous billionaire pretending to care deeply about the planet. Into this alpine shrine to seriousness strode Trump, carrying not policy, not vision, but vibes. Strong vibes. Tremendous vibes. Possibly the best vibes anyone has ever brought to Switzerland.” Also, on Trump’s speech: “The pauses came in odd places, as though the teleprompter was quietly begging for mercy. Sentences began bravely, only to collapse halfway through, abandoned like half-built resorts.” And: “C.E.O.s blinked slowly, recalculating their life choices. Somewhere in the Alps, a cow likely stopped chewing.” (Thanks to Darin McNelis of Marble Falls, Texas, for nominating this.)" —Frank Bruni, New York Times
