President Trump has arrived in Davos, Switzerland to bring his message of “peace and prosperity” to the gathered global elite and world leaders:

And much to the chagrin of the gathered global elite and world leaders, he’s already the star of the show. According to reports, the crowd “rushed out to see Donald Trump” just as UK Prime Minister Theresa May took the stage:

As they say, “SAD!”
Attendees are kinda pissed about it, too:

As for the “Trump mob,” thankfully nobody was hurt in the scrum to await the president’s arrival:

And eventually the mob returned to hear the rest of May’s speech, which was nice of them:

May and Trump did spend a few minutes together earlier in the day, with Trump calling it a “false rumor” that they don’t “like each other a lot”:
Trump, meeting with UK’s Theresa May in Davos, says there’s a “false rumor” they don’t “like each other a lot.”
“We have the same ideals” and are joined at the hip when it comes to military, Trump said, per @spettypi.
