Trump Booed at Davos for Bashing ‘Vicious,’ ‘Fake’ Media
“How nasty, how mean, how vicious and how fake the press can be.”

President Trump was reportedly booed by the crowd at the World Economic Forum in Davos when he tried to slam the “vicious” and “fake” media. “As a businessman I was always treated really well by the press,” Trump said after his prepared speech. “It wasn’t until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious and how fake the press can be.” The real-estate-mogul-turned-politician received a polite applause after his prepared remarks but then began to question why he—the leader of the free world— receives so much media attention. Once he used the word “fake,” he appeared to lose the crowd entirely.
