Dutch PM says the quiet part out loud
Outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte emphasized the urgency of regaining trust so that people do not vote for ‘populists’ like Geert Wilders.
During the past week, the world's elites gathered in Davos, Switzerland for the annual World Economic Forum meeting where they discussed new ideologies, policies, and tactics that they can implement on us ‘normies’.
In an interactive panel discussion titled, ‘Town Hall: How to Trust Governance,’ audience members were encouraged to participate in three anonymous polls on why they believe trust in government has declined and what world governments can do to regain that lost trust, especially in Western nations.
