WASHINGTON, DC: President Trump, marking the one-year anniversary of his second inauguration said that “God is very proud” with the work he has done since he moved back into the White House.
During a press briefing on Tuesday, January 20, Trump celebrated one year of being back in office by listing his biggest wins.
Trump believes god is proud of the job he has done
During the talk with the press, a reporter asked the President, if he felt God was proud of his hard work by saying, “Last year, you told me that you believed that the reason you won the election is because God put you in this place so that you could save the world,” a male reporter asked. “Looking back after one year, do you feel like god is proud of the effort that you’ve given?”
Trump answered, “I do, actually. I think God is very proud of the job I’ve done.”
He explained that he has been working hard to look after religious groups as well.
He said, “And that includes for religion. You know, we’re protecting a lot of people that are being killed. Christians, Jewish people, and lots of people are being protected by me that wouldn’t be protected by another type of president.”
Trump then remarked that it had clearly been an “amazing year” a fact he suggested even those who “wouldn’t necessarily love me” would have to acknowledge.
Trump blames Biden while highlighting criminal illegal aliens
Trump began the event by talking about how ICE has been catching “criminal illegal aliens.”
He blamed “sleepy” Joe Biden for letting these people into the country.
To show what he meant, the President showed up mugshots of people who had been arrested and pointed out the crimes they had committed.
While looking through the photos, he asked the people in the room, “Do you want to live with these people?” He looked at the mug shots and added, “Boy, these are rough characters.”
Trump also highlights military strength and new business deals
When asked to name his top three successes, Trump talked about making the military stronger and bringing a lot of money into the country.
He said there have been “incredible” business deals and that “thousands of plants” are being built with “$18 trillion” being invested in America.
He also mentioned his plan to lower the price of medicine. He believes his tough trade rules were the reason for his success, stating, “Tariffs helped me there, because the nations never would have gone along with it.”
