Kelly Macias, staff writer for the Daily Kos, discusses President Trump's trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Trump is the first president to attend the conference since Bill Clinton in 2000. Macias previews Trump's Friday speech touting his nationalist "America First" message. Will he be shunned as some think? Or will he be able to sell world leaders on his message? President Trum[p will also meet with several world leaders including British Prime Minister Theresa May and Rwandan President Paul Kagame. The timing of Trump's meeting with Kagame comes just a couple of weeks after he allegedly criticized African nations.

Trump Administration Shutters Consumer Protection Agency
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
