Only Trump Superfans Come for ‘Board of Peace’ Signing

A voice off-stage boomed “Please welcome the chairman of the Board of Peace!” and Donald Trump entered the same hall in Davos where he addressed the world’s elite just a day earlier. But it was a rather different collection of characters who showed up.

Among those summoned were the iconoclastic Javier Milei, the ever-smiling Trump superfan, and a clutch of leaders that in this might-is-right world order can be more comfortably called strongmen. There was Prabowo Subianto, a former military general, and Viktor Orban, who over decades has turned Hungary into an illiberal state and bête noire inside the European Union.
