At Davos 2026, Trump mocked elites, praised Apple’s investment, and joked about security and Greenland amid unscripted remarks.

At the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, U.S. President Donald Trump delivered unscripted, humorous remarks, discarding his prepared speech to jest about corporate wealth growth, ticket demand, and celebrity attendance. He mocked political and business figures, praised Apple CEO Tim Cook’s $650 billion investment pledge, and made light of security concerns and Federal Reserve construction costs. Trump downplayed Denmark’s objections to Greenland’s status and used self-deprecating humor to deflect criticism, blending levity with policy talk during a high-profile day of international diplomacy.
