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."
