“In Davos, Donald Trump is already the president,” Open Society Foundations Chairman Alex Soros told a panel at the World Economic Forum on Friday. “That’s a good thing, because the Davos consensus is always wrong,” he said.
The potential for Trump, currently leading in the race for the Republican nomination in the upcoming election, to secure a second term in the White House has been a prominent discussion among political and business leaders gathered in Switzerland this week.
Despite facing 91 felony counts across various criminal cases, numerous U.S. business executives remain optimistic about Trump’s chances against President Joe Biden in the anticipated 2024 race.
“Donald Trump owns the Republican Party. We’re in something I like to call the Trump cycle, because I think even if — and I believe, if the institutions hold, when — he loses this election, he’ll also be the Republican candidate in 2028 and maybe even 2032 as well,” Soros said, CNBC reported.
“What’s the way out for him? He either winds up in prison or he winds up in power, he’s not going off on some beach somewhere and retiring,” he said.
Most polling in recent months has put Trump ahead of Biden across key swing states.
