The residents and holidaymakers at the Swiss mountain town see the US president – who previously railed against the type of elites that traditionally attend the event -- as another visitor at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting. Even if Trump weren’t coming, the town would still be going into security lockdown, rerouting local bus lines and seeing bars and hotels taken over by investment banks and global corporations.

While a group in Zurich, some 145km away, has launched a petition to stop Trump’s attendance, people in the town itself say the presence the man known for his fiery rhetoric and late-night barrages on Twitter is just as welcome as anyone else.
