As the World Economic Forum convenes in Davos, Switzerland, one of the ongoing topics of discussion – some might say concern – is about a man who did not attend the forum.
Donald Trump.
the topic? What would happen if he became President of the United States again, and the concerns some of the elite attendees had about America First.

So, if you're wondering what keeps some of the world's most powerful influencers up at night, the answer is the bogeyman – Donald Trump!
CNBC reports, “Every question I got as I walked back and forth [Davos] Today's outing is: “Will he come back?” Tim Adams, president of the Institute of International Finance, told CNBC on Tuesday. “So, I think there is a lot of interest in this question and what that means, and who will be in key positions,” he added.
Trump is off to a good start this week after easily winning the Iowa caucus with 51 percent, leaving Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley a distant second and third, respectably.
In Davos, reports indicate that most people seem to believe that Trump is the key to winning the White House in November.
Something Anthony Scaramucci, Trump's former White House communications director, rejected.

Many at the World Economic Forum believe that the US presidential election is already over
Many in Davos seem to believe that the Iowa caucus has determined how the rest of the presidential election will play out – a pretty big assumption, despite what we are seeing in the race.
The consensus seems to be that the Democratic nominee, likely Joe Biden, will lose.
“Some Davos participants are already preparing their acts for a potential Republican leader in the White House,” CNBC added.
The story continued:
“Given what happened when President Trump was in office, his main concern is trade. So we have to expect the trade issues to be very serious,” Takeshi Niinami, CEO of Japanese beverage maker Suntory, told CNBC on Wednesday.
He added that his company is allocating more resources to its operations in the United States so that it can protect itself from any trade disputes.
“We have to produce domestically, especially in the United States. We have scenarios to be able to respond to this change in leadership,” he added.
It seems unusual for one man to be so powerful, as some of the world's largest companies begin moving operations in the hope that he will one day take power.
It's a long way until November in the US.
But for some elites around the world, the elections are already over.
They are preparing for what they believe is inevitable.
It makes you wonder what Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley see that the most powerful people in the world don't.
