Trump's Unusual Press Conference: A Mixed Bag of Topics

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump celebrated his one-year return to the White House with a news conference that jumped from topic to topic.

A Diverse Range of Topics

Instead of focusing on his achievements, he talked about:

• Mugshots
• Immigration raids
• The Hells Angels

He also made some odd comments, like suggesting the Gulf of Mexico should be renamed the Gulf of Trump.

Immigration and Crime

Trump spent a lot of time talking about immigration and crime. He:

• Praised U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, especially those involved in a crackdown in Minnesota.
• Criticized people protesting against these agents, calling them paid agitators.
• Suggested that cities look better with a military presence, which has drawn opposition from local officials.

The "365 Wins in 365 Days" Binder

Trump brought up his so-called "365 Wins in 365 Days" binder, which listed daily achievements since his second inauguration. He:

• Joked about a binder clip that he said could have hurt him.
• Showed mugshots of Minnesota residents arrested for serious crimes and tossed them on the floor after displaying them.

Controversial Remarks

He made some controversial remarks about Somali immigrants, calling them "very low IQ people" and falsely claiming that Somalia is not even a country. He also:

• Repeated his exaggerated claim about ending eight foreign wars.
• Expressed his belief that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

Core Message Lost

Throughout the conference, Trump's core message was often lost. He:

• Spent 81 minutes talking about himself and his achievements.
• Took questions from reporters for 24 minutes.
• The conference lasted a total of one hour and 45 minutes.
