加州州长加文·纽森宣布将在本周瑞士举行的世界经济论坛上就唐纳德·特朗普总统的观点发表看法后，“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）网红凯蒂·米勒嘲笑这位民主党人出席了这场富豪商人云集的活动。
“当然，加文·纽森会去达沃斯，”与白宫高级顾问斯蒂芬·米勒结婚的米勒周一在X平台上发文称，“还有什么比向全球精英们大吐苦水更能体现‘美国优先’的呢？”
但过去几天发生的事情，并没有像她预想的那样凸显她的观点。
纽森一直在敦促达沃斯的精英们更坚决地抵制特朗普。而特朗普则一直与富人周旋，毫不避讳地谈论自己与富人的关系以及让他们变得更富的努力。
尽管美国人普遍认为经济停滞不前，总统似乎在周三对自己的政策如何惠及富人感到沾沾自喜。
他在与企业高管的招待会上发表了一系列此类言论。
“所以我认为，就你们的投资而言，你们的状况非常好，”特朗普对人群说，“我甚至都不问任何人现在怎么样了。感觉每个人都赚了很多钱。”
特朗普称，他经常四处向商业领袖表示祝贺。
“他们会问，‘是因为什么？’我说，‘自从我上任以来，你们的净资产都翻倍了，对吧？’他说，‘是的，甚至不止翻倍。’他们会说，‘甚至更多。我们做得比那更好。’而我们为你们提供了一个平台，让你们可以施展才能。”
在同一场活动的另一个环节，特朗普提到了他去年通过的重大国内议程法案——他常称之为“超级漂亮法案”——以及该法案为企业主提供的一项关键税收减免。
特朗普随后调侃道，在他的第一任期内，一位富人朋友买了一架根本不用的飞机，因为他们想利用这种税收减免。
“我一直说，这就是我第一任期如此成功的原因，”特朗普说，“因为，我的意思是，人们会买一些东西——我有个朋友买了一架飞机，他从来没用过。他只是买了它。他说，‘我可以——我把它扣除了。’
“实际上，买一架好飞机会很棒，因为他永远不会用它，”特朗普继续说道。
一边是在经济强劲增长、“所有船只都被抬高”的好时光里吹嘘自己与富人的关系以及如何减轻他们的税负，另一边，当前经济最大的问题之一是“K型经济”——即对富人来说非常好，但对国家其他阶层来说却并非如此。
事实上，乐施会本月发布的年度不平等报告显示，去年亿万富翁的财富增长速度是过去五年平均增速的三倍。
而米勒的帖子也指出了这里的政治风险。
就在上周一项新的CNN民调显示约70%的美国人认为经济“糟糕”之际，特朗普却在精英聚会上大谈自己如何让K型经济上层受益。这实在是脱离现实。
这并非唯一可能惹恼关注钱包的美国人的不妥言论。在经济问题日益严峻的背景下，特朗普及其内阁（恰好由亿万富翁组成）发表了一系列类似的言论。
特朗普发表上述言论的前一天，财政部长斯科特·贝森特谈到了政府禁止机构投资者购买单户住宅的想法。
一些美国人认为大型机构投资者推高了房价。贝森特试图确保此举不会损害“普通小投资者”。但他对“普通小投资者”的定义却引发了一些质疑。
“比如你的父母为了退休，”贝森特告诉福克斯商业频道的玛丽亚·巴蒂罗莫，“买了五套、十套、十二套房子。所以，我们不想把小投资者挤出去。我们只是想把其他人挤出去。”
意思就是，一个普通的退休人员，拥有五到十二套房子。
纽森转发了贝森特的这段视频，问道：“这个自鸣得意的人还能再脱离现实一点吗？”贝森特周三回击称，这位民主党州长“可能是唯一一个比卡玛拉·哈里斯更不懂经济学的加利福尼亚人。”
在过去一年中，政府还发表了一系列关于美国人如何应对经济困难的尴尬言论。特朗普曾说，只要少买些娃娃和铅笔就行。
更近期，农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯表示，美国人可以负担起一顿3美元的优质餐食，其中包括“一片西兰花”。
2026年大选预计将重点围绕经济展开，而特朗普团队的这些言论给民主党人提供了大量素材，足以将他们描绘成脱离现实的形象。
Trump revels in Davos about making the rich even richer
Published Jan 21, 2026, 4:54 PM ET / Analysis by Aaron Blake
After it was announced that California Gov. Gavin Newsom would share his views on President Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, this week, MAGA influencer Katie Miller derided the Democrat for his presence at the event frequented by wealthy businessmen.
“Of course Gavin Newsom is going to Davos,” Miller, who is married to top White House adviser Stephen Miller, posted Monday on X. “Nothing quite says America First like commiserating to the crowd of the World’s Elites.”
But what’s transpired over the last couple of days hasn’t exactly driven home her point in the way she might have envisioned.
Newsom has spent his time urging the elites at Davos to stand up more strongly to Trump. And it’s Trump who’s been rubbing elbows with the wealthy and taking no shame in talking about his ties to rich people and his efforts to make them even richer.
Even as Americans struggle with what they overwhelmingly view as a stagnant economy, the president seemed to revel Wednesday in how good his policies have been for the wealthy.
He made a series of such comments during a reception with CEOs.
“So I think in terms of your investments, you’re in great shape,” Trump told the crowd. “I don’t even ask anybody how you’re doing now. It’s like everybody is making so much money.”

Trump said he often goes around giving congratulations to business leaders.
“They say, on what?” Trump said. “I said, ‘you’ve doubled your net worth since I’ve been president, right?’ He said, ‘Yeah, even more than that.’ They would say, ‘Even more. We’re doing even better than that.’ And we’ve given you platform where you can put your genius to work.”
At another point at the same event, Trump pointed to his big domestic agenda bill – which he often called the “Big Beautiful Bill” – that passed last year and a key tax deduction it gave business owners.
Trump then riffed about how, in his first term, one wealthy friend bought an airplane they didn’t even use because they wanted to use such a deduction.
“I always said, that’s what made my first term so successful,” Trump said. “Because, I mean, people were buying things that – I have a friend who bought an airplane, he never used it. He just bought it. He said, ‘I get a – I deducted it.’
“It’d be a great plane to buy, actually, because he’ll never use it,” Trump continued.

It’s one thing to boast about your ties to rich people and how they reduce their tax burden in good times, when a strong economy is lifting all boats. But one of the biggest problems with the current economy is how “K-shaped” it is – i.e. it’s great for the wealthy but not nearly so much for the rest of the country.
Indeed, Oxfam’s recent annual inequality report this month showed billionaires’ wealth grew three times faster last year than they had averaged over the previous five years.
And Miller’s post points to the political risks here.
Even as about 7 in 10 Americans viewed the economy as “poor” in last week’s new CNN poll, here was Trump at a gathering of elites talking about how good he’s been for the upper part of that K-shaped economy. That’s pretty tone-deaf.

And it’s hardly the only example of an unadvisable comment that might irk Americans concerned about their pocketbooks. Amid the economic problems, Trump and his Cabinet – which happens to be stocked with billionaires – have made a series of these kinds of remarks.
Trump’s comments came just a day after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke about the administration’s idea to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes.
Some Americans believe big, institutional investors have driven up housing costs. Bessent sought to assure this move wouldn’t hurt “mom and pop” investors. But his definition of “mom and pop” investors raised some eyebrows.
“Someone, maybe your parents for their retirement,” Bessent told Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo, “bought five, 10, 12 homes. So, we don’t want to push the mom and pops out. We just want to push everyone else out.”
Just your average retiree, owning anywhere from five to a dozen homes.
Newsom promoted the clip of Bessent, asking, “Could this smug man be more out of touch?” Bessent shot back Wednesday that the Democratic governor “may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris.”
And over the course of the last year, the administration has made a series of awkward comments about how Americans could navigate economic difficulties. Trump talked about simply buying fewer dolls and pencils.
More recently, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Americans can afford a $3 meal of quality food that includes “a piece of broccoli.”
The 2026 election figures to focus extensively on the economy, and the Trump team is giving Democrats plenty to work with in painting them as out of touch.
