President Donald Trump received boos from the audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Friday after he took a shot at the "fake" and "nasty" media.
Trump delivered the keynote address at the economic forum where he encouraged investment, touted his tax reform legislation, and encouraged expansion in the United States.
After Trump's keynote address, he participated in a question-and-answer session with the forum's founder Klaus Schwab. The German engineer and economist asked the president several questions, including a personal question about what experience from Trump's past was most useful in preparing him for the presidency.
"Being a businessman has been a great experience for me. I've loved it. I've always loved business. I've always been good at building things, and I've always been very successful at making money," Trump said.
"Historically, I guess there's never really never been a businessman or businessperson elected president. It's always been a general or a politician," Trump added.
He went on to say that he's always been treated very well by the press until he became a politician, and then he realized how "nasty" it could be.
"I've always really had a very good press. And it wasn't until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious, and how fake the press can be, as the cameras start going off in the back," Trump said smiling, prompting boos from the crowd.
He then mentioned how somebody told him that the media couldn't have been that bad because he won the election, and then went on to tout his administration's accomplishments.
"I think we are doing a very special job and I really believe it was time, and it was time to do that job because I don't think the United States would have done very well if it went through four or eight more years of regulation, and really, a very anti-business group of people," Trump said. "We have a very pro-business group."
