Key Highlights

  • And it felt like he wanted to spend the next year doing it.
  • For more than 100 minutes, the president held forth Tuesday at the White House, where he went on a winding journey through his last year, interspersed with plenty of asides, a few impressions of other politicians and critics and, eventually, questions from the media.
  • Trump riffed on things his administration has done, starting with an awkwardly quiet stretch of show-and-tell in which he held up photographs of people he said immigration officers had arrested in Minnesota.
  • “I’m going through this because I think we have plenty of time,” Trump said.
