Trump attacks ‘people I can’t stand’ in crowd at speech: ‘I would screw them if I could’



President Donald Trump lamented that he couldn't "screw" people whom he didn't like during a rant at the World Economic Forum.

While speaking to CEOs in Davos on Wednesday, Trump bragged that companies were building plants in the U.S.

"It's amazing what's going on. Look, it's amazing. We've never had anything like it or close. Nobody else has it," he remarked. "I don't even ask anybody how you're doing now. It's like everybody is making so much money."

"And we have so many people in this room that have done a job," he continued. "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."

But Trump's remarks took a turn as he spotted a few perceived enemies in the room.

"In a way, I'm jealous. In a way, I'm upset. There are a couple of people in the room," he said. "I can't stand them, and they've become very rich. There's nothing I can do about it."

"I would screw them if I could, but I can't do it, right?" he added. "I can't do it. I would have had a chance, or I could just take them and say, you can't do what Apple's doing, but you're not allowed to do that, Newt Gingrich, right? We can't do it."

"But I would love to do it, really, you know? It's one of those things, but everybody's making a lot of money."

‘Chilling’: Internet erupts over Border Patrol comments on detaining a 5-year-old boy



The internet had scathing reactions Friday to Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino's comments about a 5-year-old in Minnesota who was taken into ICE custody after agents targeted his father.

Bovino was speaking at a press conference in Minneapolis and confirmed that Liam Conejo Ramos was in his family's driveway when he returned home from school with his father and that both of them were taken away in a vehicle and sent to an ICE facility in Texas. Bovino attempted to argue that ICE has treated children well following public scrutiny over the agency's actions.

"The child is in the least restrictive setting with a family member. I don't think it gets any better than that," Bovino said.

Social media users had sharp responses to Bovino's comments:

"Does he think that being the size of a child makes him an expert on children?" Navy veteran Molly Rogers wrote on Bluesky.

"They are experts at dealing with the unarmed, that's true enough," Joan, an ADHD coach and Canadian, wrote on Bluesky.

"Dealing with children…is a chilling statement," writer and filmmaker Nicole Quinn wrote on Bluesky.

"All I can see is his soulless, dead eyes. The child should be at home with his mother and not in a restrictive setting, for Christ's sake," user Chidi wrote on X.

"If that's the situation, Commander Bovino, please allow the press and congressional members to visit and inspect this Texas camp along with other ICE facilities run by the Trump administration..." user DeSota Wilson wrote on X.
