President Trump gave a subtle slap to former President Obama at a MAGA rally touting economic growth and jobs numbers. Trump touted having a "magic wand" in his Friday night speech at the event in Springfield, Mo.



"So here is just of our great achievements: economic growth for last quarter hit 4.2 percent, unthinkable," Trump said.



"Remember the magic wand? What are you going to get, a magic wand? Yes, I got a magic wand," Trump told supporters.











The 'wand' remark refers to a comment then-President Obama made in 2016 about then-candidate Donald Trump promising jobs.



"How exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have?" Obama asked. "And usually, the answer is he doesn't have an answer."



FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA: What we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back, and when somebody says, like the person you just mentioned who I'm not going to advertise for, that he's going to bring all these jobs back, well how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do?



There's — there's no answer to it. He just says, "Well, I'm going to negotiate a better deal." Well, how — what — how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually, the answer is he doesn't have an answer.



Trump on having the "magic wand" while touting growth and jobs:





PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP: So here is just of our great achievements: economic growth for last quarter hit 4.2 percent, unthinkable.



(APPLAUSE)



Unthinkable. Jobless claims just fell to a nearly 50-year low; jobless claims. Isn't that nice? Think of it, jobless claims. So number one, the people are happy. Number two, the country's saving a (ph) fortune, think of it. Jobless claims fell to a 50-year low. We've created over 4 million new jobs since our election.



(APPLAUSE)



We've lifted almost 4 million Americans off food stamps, saving a fortune and they're happy.



(APPLAUSE)



We've added nearly 400,000 new manufacturing jobs, remember? You'll never have another manufacturing job, right? He's the guy. You'll never have another manufacturing job, remember the magic wand? What are you going to get, a magic wand? Yes, I got a magic wand.
