When the White House announced earlier this week that Donald Trump would attend the World Economic Forum’s 48th annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, the news was met primarily with confusion. “It’s not his constituency,” Ian Bremmer told me about the crowd, which is regularly composed of people who make millionaires look poor. “Internationally, he’s very unpopular.”

In addition to enjoying swanky chalet dinners whose budgets regularly run into the millions and parties that involve five-figure bottles of wine and imported models, Davos attendees are also expressly interested in working together to improve the state of the world, which is spelled out in the W.E.F.’s mission statement. But don’t tell that to the Trump administration. Now that the big guy has confirmed that he—and basically his entire Cabinet—will be in attendance, the base mustn’t get wind of the forum’s proceedings lest it conclude that the president, who hails from a literally golden penthouse, is not as much of an economic populist as he has made himself out to be.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Treasury Secretary Steve “posing with money is one of the great joys of my life” Mnuchin positively bristled at the notion that Davos is some kind of shmooze fest that runs counter to Trump’s “America First, Screw Everyone Else” agenda. “I don’t think it’s a hangout for globalists,” Mnuchin said, using former senior adviser Steve Bannon’s favorite insult. “I think the idea is that the economic team will go over and talk about the ‘America First’ economic strategy.” As for the notion that Team Trump will do anything at the confab besides threaten a trade war with China and tell Canada to take its hugs and shove ’em, Mnuchin told the group: “I can assure you that the members of his Cabinet have no interest in going over there and rubbing elbows with anybody. This is about meeting business leaders.”

It’s not clear whether Mnuchin has laid out these ground rules to the rest of the delegation, which happens to include Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who was recently accused of vastly inflating his net worth and who seems like the very type to elbow rub. In addition to Ross and Mnuchin, the delegation includes Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta, Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Thomas Bossert, Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development Mark Green, Commissioner of Food and Drugs Scott Gottlieb, and, of course, First Son-in-Law Jared Kushner. National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn will also be in attendance but not in an “official” capacity; it’s unclear if Cohn will therefore be required to fly on his own dime, or to book a room on AirBnb.

Incidentally, Davos happens to be a teeny-tiny village with a limited number of accommodations, meaning that the price of hotel rooms skyrockets during the forum. Presumably, Team Trump has already worked out the matter of lodging, but given its propensity to forget such details, it’s possible that Cabinet members will be bunking three to a bed that has 300- to 400-count sheets max—because they want no part in any of this globalist elitism, which is NOT what Davos is about, on the off-chance you heard otherwise.
