President Donald Trump marked the first 100 days of his second term—already considered one of the most sweeping and controversial in U.S. history—by insisting he hasn’t made any mistakes, a claim that drew loud laughter from a live NewsNation town hall audience. When asked to name his biggest misstep so far, Trump responded, “That’s the toughest question I can have… because I really don’t believe I’ve made any mistakes.” His answer prompted moderator Bill O’Reilly and the crowd to break into laughter, though Trump remained stone-faced.
Calling in remotely, Trump defended his turbulent start, which has been marked by sweeping executive actions, staff shake-ups, a trade war with China, and the divisive implementation of Elon Musk’s DOGE cost-cutting plan, which has disrupted major federal agencies. He described the turmoil as part of a “transition period” and promised “tremendous economic victories” ahead, despite admitting current trade losses totaling “billions and billions.” However, investor confidence has dropped and recent polls show a decline in his approval ratings as Americans grow wary of economic instability. While his policies remain polarizing, Trump managed to spark laughter—even if unintentionally.
